When Jadon Sancho played his last season at Borussia Dortmund his statistics were up there with the best in Europe, but in his debut season at Manchester United his numbers have been anything but…
And he’s not alone, most stars of the Bundesliga fail to reach the same highs when they play in the Premier League. This drop off is known as the Bundesliga Tax.
Why does it happen? Is the Bundesliga alone?
Jon Mackenzie explains, Henry Cooke illustrates.

Bundesliga Tax Officer has been bribed by Sheikh Mansour and I love it
You have to consider that most players from the Bundesliga come from great seasons at successful teams. The teams they are transferred to in the premier league are rarely as successful. Jadon sancho for example played for the vice champion in Dortmund and then went to a struggling Manchester Utd.
I'd be very interested to see this broken down how much performance variance there is when a player moves to a league in a country whose language they do not yet speak, as opposed to moving to one where they can speak fluently from day 1. I bet the isolation and confusion of not being able to easily communicate with teammates and coaches would likely be correlated to poorer performances.
That aint that bad not when u sports wash a team…
sonny is the only thing keeping those numbers respectable
Heung-Min Son has no Bundesliga tax
No mention of teams tactics playing a part in the down tick in performance like Werner and Lukaku being used as target men despite being very much not target men
So poorly managed PL clubs who doesn't care much about the player and pushing him in another situation on the pitch is the problem. M.united thing is another side of problem – what to expect form new player in such a mess?
Doesn't make sense at all.. Because both the factors.. Team success and age are the same for Timo werner and Kai havertz but they have underperformed.
City's last 3 Bundesliga signings: De Bruyne, Gundogan, Sané. They don't know what the Bundesliga tax is
Haaland is going to score 30 goals sancho was never that good
Ofc Sancho's stats are dropping like crazy when moving from being an undisputed starter at the 2nd best team in the league to a bench warmer for a mid table tier team in another league.
Havertz hasn't been disappointing…..have you been watching any football????
This is obviously a narrative been pushed… Usually most players have a drop off when they have to relocate to somewhere that's new (look at Messi at PSG). This phenomenon should be called the Transfer Tax.
I didn't knew Aston Villa was a Bundesliga team that explains a lot about that 100M signing!
even as a roy keane fan, i am happy to see a Haaland in the PL again !!
Would you make videos on coutinho or hazard who declined massively when coming to laliga or you so called analysts are clearly biased towards pl
Bruno Fernandes?
This has to be one of the most redundant videos ever made in the history of everything
Worst video from yall
can you guys make a video about nkunku i feel like he’s going to be one of the best attackers this season
A video of 5:24 to be told he is more likely to be like De Bruyne than Sancho…KMT
This man has a career for a having a beautiful voice
Think it’s too early to write Sancho off
Bruyne is definitely overrated
This seems cynically rooted and statistically dubious. It violates confirmation bias egregiously. What is the longitudinal evidence here? The sample size is quite large. Has anyone confirmed this statistical correlation? It’s less than a days worth of effort. Man city in particular have “trend breakers”. This seems like an odd formula only one side of the table came up with.
so hows the Bundesliga tax on Son Heung Min & Kevin De Bruyne?
