The Athletic FC Podcast · Was this the summer the Premier League ate itself? · 3 Sep 2026 podcast

Wh where do you see that coming from?

I mean, the next big Premier League rights deal in the States, for example, I think would have to be starting twenty twenty eight.

You've got the NBC deal coming up to a close.

Is that realistically their best bet?

Is it what's currently happening in is it Singapore this season where you've got the Premier League experimenting with its kind of Prem Flix in-house subscription service whereby you would watch every game on a a one stop subscription service?

Is it are those really the only levers now that they have, or is there something that's a little bit less kind of obvious that we should be thinking about it?

Thinking about

No, Rob, it's it's interesting you mentioned Sasuolo because I interviewed the new Leeds defender, Moharemovic, who was who has come over from Sasuolo for about I think that was about thirty four million pounds.

And he said to me, you know, I had interest from Inter Milan and and Juventus.

But the Premier League is where, you know, is where I wanted to play.

It's where I saw my future.

And I think also, you know, Leeds when they make their pitches

Yeah.

you know, to these players, they're able to say, look, you know, we had Rafinha here.

You know, we brought him in from I think it was from Rennes in France and we got him for about seventeen million and then we flipped him and he went on to Barcelona.

So once you develop to a certain level, you know, we w you know we also recognise our place in the food chain and recognise that you may have a dream to go and play one day for whether it's Liverpool, Chelsea,

But th the big I imagine the bigger point is Leeds could probably pay bigger wages than what Inter or Juventus would play to what may be a squad player for them.

And th that that is just where it is now.

And Leeds, you know, although they have a famous name, historic name, they've been in the Premier League for one season.

You know, and and this is their second season up, but but that is kind of the clout that they were able to have.
