Where is he most likely to go? 662 clubs ranked

Three things have to be true at once, so they multiply: can they afford him × do they want him × does he want to go there. That last one is what a buying club’s shortlist does not capture — it is why the best player in the Bundesliga ends up at Bayern rather than at whoever needs him most.

And these pull on it too:
Shelf life×0.67
33 jaar — je hebt hem nog 2 van de 3 seizoenen
Rival×0.92
a key player at a direct rival — they will not sell
Well-trodden route×1.20
players move from that league to this one more often than average
Signs abroad×0.95
this club signs far fewer of its own countrymen than the list suggests

The final score is appeal × feasibility. The left half may trade off against itself — an expensive talent makes up for his price with potential. The right half may not: if one thing is impossible, the transfer is impossible, however good the rest looks.
