Historical Context

The 1992 Bosman ruling revolutionized European football by allowing players to transfer freely after their contracts ended, reshaping transfer dynamics. This change enabled clubs like Pisa and Como to invest in youth talent, as seen in Pisa's €500,000 signing of Jeremy Kandje Mbambi.
