Transfer spending is expected to fall dramatically, with clubs across the continent facing huge losses as a result of football's shutdown. KPMG estimates that Europe's top five leagues, including France, where the season has ended, could lose four billion euros ($4.3 billion) if the campaigns cannot be completed. With little money to spend, values could fall by nearly 10 billion if there is no more football this season -- the "worst-case" scenario. They could still plummet by 6.6 billion euros if leagues were completed behind closed doors. "Players' values would decrease by EUR 6.6 billion, a 17.7 percent decrease in Scenario 2."
