NYON, Switzerland: The clubs involved in this season's Champions League and Europa League group stages invested more than half of their transfer spending in the last window on players aged 24 and under, a report by European soccer body UEFA said on Thursday.

Defenders and forwards each made up 35 percent of expenditure, midfielders 25 percent and goalkeepers 5 percent, it said. Many clubs outside the main leagues, in countries such as Switzerland, Portugal and the Netherlands, now have a financial model based on buying young players, developing their talent and then selling them on to bigger clubs several years later.UEFA said that six clubs managed net earnings of over 50 million euros in their summer transfer dealings.

Other stats showed that Portugal has nine of the 80 coaches involved, a large number given the country's size and population. That is followed by Spain with seven, Germany with six and Netherlands, Italy and France with five apiece. England has only two coaches involved.
