Circulation of money across Europe was not much as the game is still suffering the effects from the coronavirus pandemic as various teams have made huge losses over the past eighteen months with little to no matchday income, reduction of merchandise sales, and the lowering of broadcasting rights from the 2020/2021 season. This made it a buyers market rather than a seller's market as those who had the capability to buy did whilst those who turned to make sales over the window struggled as they were lack of suitors.
