FIFA 22 Transfer Budgets: Why Is Hertha BSC That Rich?
As you probably already noticed, some clubs have a rather unrealistically high transfer budget. First of all, FC Barcelona is given too much money in FIFA 22. As we all know, the Catalans couldn't pay the contract of their ex-superstar Lionel Messi. So the 111 million punds budget seems somehow out of place. At the end of the day, though, it's just a game, right? But it would be a nice challenge to start with around 60-70 million though and renovate the catalans.
As you might know, Newcastle United is a new member among the richest clubs in the world. So in the future we might see them here. The reason why Hertha BSC got so much money is Lars Windhorst. The Investor gave the club 315 000 000 £ since 2019. Crazy. And let's put it this way: Not the best investment until now. Maybe you can do a better job with the Berlin club.
