Brazil and Mexico are the two countries that have invested the most in signings in the Americas
FIFA published a report on international transfers that took place between 2011 and 2020, in which it highlights that Mexico, is the second association in America that spent more to reinforce sun below Brazil. However, both are far from what is invested in Europe and Asia.
In these 10 years covered by the FIFA report, Brazil and Mexico are the two countries that have invested the most in signings in the Americas. The South Americans, $ 0.8 trillion, are in eleventh place, while the Aztecs are in thirteenth place, tied with the Netherlands, with $ 0.7 trillion.
In this area, associations from Europe dominate. In first place is England with $ 12.4 trillion, followed by Spain (6.7), Italy (5.6), Germany (4.4), France (4); while Russia and China are tied at $ 1.7 trillion.
Mexico falls to third place on the continent in terms of the money it has received for transfers. The Brazilian association is the first in America, but the seventh worldwide, with $ 2.8 trillion. It follows Argentina with $ 1.3 trillion; while Mexico is in the fifteenth step with 0.6 trillion dollars, the same amount as Uruguay and Austria.
Spain is the country that has had the most revenue from negotiations, with a total of 6.2 trillion dollars. Followed by England (5.2), France (4.9), Portugal (4.3), Italy (4.2) and Germany (3.4).
Another striking fact is that Mexico has a better balance than the United States in terms of transfers, either by sale or purchase, despite the fact that the country of bars and stars has negotiated more players . However both associations have negative numbers.
Mexico, between 2011 and 2020, sold 1,778 footballers, earning $ 557.4 million; while it bought at 2,052 with an investment of 682.9 billion, giving a balance of -125.5 billion.
At the same time, the United States exported 2,433 players, of whom it received $ 178.2 million, for the 518.8 it invested in 2,882 players with a balance of -340.5 billion.
The nexus between Argentina and Mexico appears among the 30 associations that had the most negotiations. The South Americans sent 307 players to Mexican football, the same amount as England sending to the Netherlands.
