About the Ranking

For the 7th year in the row, we hand you our list of the top clubs with the biggest transfer budgets available at the start of the 2020-2021 season. This means that the available funds have been influenced by the recent 2020 summer transfer window, as money has already been deducted.

Our ranking is primarily based upon clubs with the most money available for transfers when no adjustments have been made between wages and transfers, or the other way around.

It means that there might be more money available to allocate (primarily by reducing the wage budget), which in turn increases the remaining transfer budget. In some circumstances, adjusting and maximizing the transfer budget might affect the remaining wage budget negatively. The negative wage budget may force you to sell one or more players, or reduce your wage bill by renegotiating contracts, to be able to keep a positive balance. Learn how to make budget adjustments below.

The numbers below will be rounded up to the nearest hundred thousand or the closest whole number. For instance, when transfer budgets are €4.999.999, we have rounded it up to €5Mill. We have decided to not include unplayable leagues which require a database extension to unlock like clubs in Qatar, Saudi Arabia or Japan, and have restricted the list to the ones with a transfer budget higher than €3Mill.

Since there will be clubs from all over the world with different reputations and perhaps knowledge of you, we will feature each club’s media prediction for the start of the first season, either it will be the 2020-2021 season or in the weird circumstances the 2021 season.

Our massive list of Football Manager transfer budgets lets you scour a number of nations and regions for the perfect challenge; either you want to start a new save without worrying about the club’s financial situation, or on the contrary discover clubs in a less beneficial financial situation – with limited funds available.

What’s definitely true, is that the increase in the cost of transfers will for sure be reflected in this year’s edition as well. It might not be as easy to get regular first-team players for under €20 Million for top sides. With the help of our list of the top 150 clubs’ starting transfer budget and wages, you will be able to scour through the richest clubs in Football Manager 2021.

With enough funds, you can provide depth to your aging squad with one or two future wonderkids and promising talents or build a squad perfectly suited for your preferred tactics and tactical style.

How to Make Budget Adjustments in Football Manager:

The starting transfer budget for each of the clubs equals to what is set for the first season (2019-2020) when you control the team. The remaining transfer budget or wage budget can be altered further for those clubs with a positive balance. The transfer budget and the wage budget can be further altered – either decreased or increased by adjusting the budget.

There are several ways to make budget adjustments in Football Manager.

1. Head to Transfers > Click On Transfer Budget Remaning > Drag the slider > Confirm
2. Go to Club Vision – Locate Budget Adjustments – Drag the Slider to the left or right depending on if you got funds available – Click Confirm.
3. You can also alter the wages and transfer budget from an ‘action news item’ for example when making a transfer bid. See Budget Adjustment in the top right corner.
4. Or go to the summary of Finances and locate adjust budgets to the right. From here you can also make budget requests.

* Note! You can’t edit the remaining transfer budget until the club’s season expectations are agreed upon.
