Southampton Offers £400m to achieve still in the premier League battle amidst Leicester city and Ipswich

The cost of year-one Premier League survival for newly promoted clubs is £133m.

Southampton, Ipswich Town, and Leicester City have all been confirmed as

Premier League teams for 2024–2025 after the latter two secured automatic

promotion and the former team won the Wembley playoff final. However,

GIVEMESPORT is aware that none are anticipated to have playing costs—a measure

of annual player salaries plus net transfer expenditures—that high for the upcoming campaign.

In one of the least competitive relegation battles in Premier League history, Luton,

Burnley, and Sheffield United all missed the £133 million mark after emerging from

the Championship in 2022–2023. It serves as a clear signal to the three recently

promoted teams, who all want to prepare their teams for the Premier League without

having to match the spending thresholds set by the teams that came before them and

were spared from relegation.The newly promoted teams that have made it through

the Premier League’s six seasons have committed to an annual player salary bill of

£46 million and spent an average of £93 million on new hires—of which £87 million

was net spend. That’s a significant increase over promoted teams that immediately

regressed: they invested £38 million in player salaries, had a net spending of just

£40 million, and only spent £49 million on new players. At just £8 million, the wage

difference may not seem like much, but it adds up to £153k every week. Alexander

Isak, Dominic Solanke, Ollie Watkins, and Jarrod Bowen, who all placed in the top

ten for the Premier League’s Golden Boot this season, might all be acquired by a club

based on their existing contracts. For a team trying to stay in the top flight, that kind

of firepower might easily mean the difference between safety and relegation.

However, squad investment is also quite important and requires careful

consideration. Spending a lot of money on Premier League caliber players is

understandable, but bringing in too many can strain a team that has already seen

success as a unit. However, without the capacity to win games at the highest

level, teamwork and unity will only take you so far.
