Undisclosed fee?

Undisclosed fee?

I heard a while back that the EFL prefer transfers to be undisclosed. No idea why. The Premier League however insist that fees are disclosed. Therefore you’ll rarely hear of fees being mentioned when transfers occur between EFL clubs.
 
Think logically…. Every team knows how much we’ve spent so know how much the other team has to spend extra. Not exactly a great place to be in, hence undisclosed.

This is why.
 
You can more often than not work out what the fee is by looking at the accounts, anyway.

Or if there’s been multiple, at least make an educated guess.

This came up the other week - it doesn't mean disclosure is "banned by the EFL", just that both parties must agree to disclose it.
