一分研究報告分析了英超豪門目前面對的問題﹐ 亦解釋了為何更多球員在今個夏天為‘錢’途轉會:
答案相當簡單 - 匯價下跌 + 超高稅率
分析舉例指﹐ 一位稅後年薪300萬歐元 (260萬鎊﹐ 周薪5萬鎊)的球員, 要花費英國球會680萬歐元﹔西班牙球會400萬鎊; 法國 - 670萬; 意大利 - 570萬; 德國 - 540萬。
與此同時﹐ 英鎊匯價亦由兩年前 1 英鎊兌1.5 歐元跌至目前的 1.15 歐元。
再加上﹐ 由2010年4月開始﹐ 英國的最高薪俸稅率將由40%增加至50%。這意味著大部分英超球員即將要面對變相減薪。
這些因素都減低了英超對海外球星的吸引力﹐ 亦解釋了為何更多球員在努力尋找一分更好的合約。
看看C朗的例子﹐ 投奔皇馬後不但馬上獲得加薪﹐ 而且以他外地球員的身分﹐ 在西班牙只需支付24%的薪俸稅﹐ 這令他的收入至少加了一半﹐ 現實世界相信沒有太多人能抗拒這個數目吧。足球員只有那數年的黃金時間﹐ 這麼的機會難道不要嗎? 現在連泰利都為錢離開車路士了﹗
English Premier League clubs may face higher wagedemands from European players due to sterling's weakness and the new50% tax rate, a report said.
Offers to transfer targets andexisting players may need to be raised to match the take-home wagesoffered by European rivals, consultants Deloitte added.
Deloitte said giving a European player a net annual salary of 3m euros (£2.6m) would cost an English club 6.8m euros.
But a Spanish club needs only pay 4m euros to deliver the same net salary.
TheUK figure is also higher than clubs in France (6.7m euros), Italy (5.7meuros) and Germany (5.4m euros) would have to pay, according to theDeloitte calculations.
"The summer transfer window opened overa month ago, but Premier League clubs are yet to make significantacquisitions from overseas," said Pete Hackleton, senior manager in theSports Business Group at Deloitte.
"The reduced value ofsterling against the euro and the proposed increase in the top rate ofincome tax are contributing factors to this."
Revenues advantage
The pound is currently worth about 1.15 euros compared with 1.50 euros, two years ago.
Andfrom April 2010, the tax band for top earners in the UK will increasefrom 40% to 50%. This will impact the vast majority - if not all -top-flight players.
Some big European clubs have proved willing to spend, with Spanishside Real Madrid having reportedly splashed out about 200m euros onthree players from other big European Leagues - Cristiano Ronaldo, Kakaand Karim Benzema.
Ronaldo, who left Manchester United for RealMadrid, will be paying tax at a non-residents rate of 24% in Spain, asopposed to the 50% bracket he would have faced had he stayed in thePremier League.
"The concern is for the biggest clubs competingfor the best talent, where the reduced tax rate in Spain gives thelikes of Real Madrid and Barcelona a significant advantage inattracting the best players in the world," Mr Hackleton said.
But he added that high revenues enjoyed by Premier League clubs meant the league could still afford the world's best players.
TotalPremier League revenues were the equivalent of 2.44bn euros in 2007/8,more than 1bn euros ahead of Spain's La Liga. The difference is largelydriven by the sale of the lucrative television broadcast rights whichare then split between the clubs. |
