  In contemporary football, the financial dynamics of clubs are increasingly influenced not only by on-field performance but also by player market transactions, which have gained significant economic importance in recent years. Transfers have become pivotal financial events for football clubs, with the sale of player rights playing a fundamental role in their revenue structures and financial strategies. This study examines the financial statements from 2020 to 2024 of three football clubs operating under different accounting standards: FTC Labdarúgó Zrt. (complying with Hungarian accounting regulations), Borussia Dortmund KGaA, and Juventus Football Club S.p.A. (both adhering to IFRS). Through a comparative analysis, the research investigates the extent to which revenues from the sale of player rights contribute to the total income of these clubs and whether there is a discernible trend of increasing reliance on this revenue stream during the specified period. The study aims to elucidate how intensified activity in the player transfer market is reflected in the financial statements of these clubs, particularly concerning shifts in their revenue structures.
