Abstract
AbstractUsing publicly available data from the football database transfermarkt.co.uk, it is possible to construct a trade network between football clubs. This work regards the network of the flow of transfer fees between European top league clubs from eight countries between 1992 and 2020 to analyse the network of each year’s transfer market. With the transfer fees as weights, the market can be represented as a weighted network in addition to the classic binary network approach. This opens up the possibility to study various topological quantities of the network, such as the degree and disparity distributions, the small-world property and different clustering measures. This article shows that these quantities stayed rather constant during the almost three decades of transfer market activity, even despite massive changes in the overall market volume.
