It’s a game of money. The more spent, the better the player in the squad. 

Spend, Spend and Spend! That’s the mantra of the modern-day football. Be it a big club or small, spending huge amount of money is not a big deal for them. Figures like 40 million pounds or 80 million pounds on a single player is a common thing in football these days.
