It gets clear that all these transfers are carried out to the
profit of the teams of Europe. They concern, in major part, of the players of
the developing countries of South America. As for the African players, several
juicy transfers were also carried out. It is the case, in particular, of
Congolese (Zairean ex) Shabani Nonda, transferred from Saint-Etienne in Monaco
(2000-20001), for nearly 20 million dollars. He became the player African
footballer expensive in the world, right before the Okocha Nigerian,
transferred from Galatasaray to Paris-Saint-Germain (1998-1999), for the amount
of 17 million American dollars.
The transfers are not the only channel of the
internationalization of football, had us says a little higher. Many clubs think
more and more of operating on the foreign territory. Not only that they buy
players there, but also they take part in the diversification of the elements
of their growth, as well on the financial level as on that of prestige.
It is the way of establishment abroad, which takes the form
sometimes center of formation, sometimes of direct foreign investment,
sometimes still of fusion acquisition with other local clubs, even of company
at the shared risk.
