The Premier League was the great protagonist of the last summer transfer market. Chelsea, City and United bet on 'super transfers' that, for now, are far from justifying the investment of the clubs

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The market of summer 2021 supposed the first window of signings 'normal' from the start of the pandemia. In spite of the envilecimiento of the arks of a lot of clubs (between them the FC Barcelona and the Real Madrid), the 'big' of the Premier League and the Paris Saint Germain devised them to him to make incorporations 'galactic' which, in his majority, have not offered the performance expected.

In this sense, Jack Grealish and Romelu Lukaku lead the listing of 'disappointments'. The Manchester City consummated the most expensive signing of the history in England after paying 117.5 millions to the Aston Villa by Grealish, the one who grieve sum 3 goals and equal quantity of assistances in 23 parties in the season. No in vain, Pep Guardiola has left him in the bench in three of the last five parties of the City.

Similar case is the one of Lukaku in Chelsea. The Belgian returned to Stanford Bridge from the Inter in return of 115 million euros and has been news more by his problems of adaptation that by his goals, the excuse of his signing. 8 goals and 2 assistances in 24 parties know to little in London, where Thomas Tuchel is fed up of his attitude.

In the footpath of the front, the United also sighs after having paid 85 'kilos' to the Borussia Dortmund by Jadon Sancho. The English forward has not found place in the team, neither with Ole Gunnar Solskjær neither with Ralf Rangnick. So alone a pair of goals in 23 great apparitions Sancho with the 'network devils', that already look for him exit. The another signing 'galactic' of the United, Rapahel Varane, hardly has played 16 split product of his constant physical problems. The 40 millions credited to the Real Madrid by the Frenchman begin to hurt.

PSG, Bayern and Arsenal also ask more

The PSG was one of the big protagonists of the last market, since the majority of his incorporations arrived free. Donnarumma, Wijnaldum, Sergio Bouquets and Leo Messi incorporated to cost zero, but one of his signings 'galactic' if it cost enough: Achraf Hakimi. The exlateral of the Real Madrid arrived by 60 'kilos' from the Inter of Milan and began very well his stage in Paris, but was losing shine and leadership in the last two months. The diagram of Mauritius Pochettino seems not favouring to the Moroccan, the one who in spite of all has participated in 6 goals (three so many, three assistances) in 25 apparitions with the PSG.

Something similar has sucedido with Ben White in the Arsenal and Dayot Upamecano in the Bayern. White cost 58.5 millions and recently begins to find his best form in the eleven of Mikel Arteta, after some first months complicated in London. Upamecano, by his part, arrived to Munich by 42.5 'kilos' to substitute to Praise, but for the moment has not been able to win the confidence of the míster Julian Nagelsmann. A big signing comports a big responsibility, but no always the players are in capacity to justify the madnesses of the sportive directors. A lot of money and little football seems to be the European market trend.
