In the 2023/24 Premier League season, several clubs faced significant financial restrictions due to the league’s new Profit and Sustainability Rules that have undergone controversial changes which will impact club spending in the transfer market to ensure financial fair play.

Clubs with robust financial health and diverse revenue streams like Manchester City and Manchester United are likely to adapt more easily to the new regulations, whereas those already operating on tight budgets like Everton FC will struggle to comply without major restructuring.

These changes aim to create a more level playing field and promote financial stability for clubs across the league. However, they also pose new challenges and require clubs to be more strategic and prudent in their financial and operational management.

Watch Tifo football explain how the Premier League’s complicated new transfer rules will affect spending in the transfer market.

Premier League clubs have agreed to “prioritise the swift development and implementation of a new League-wide financial system.”

New guidelines could come into force as early as this summer and, if finalised, will replace profit and sustainability rules.
