Premier League tops the table: €3.6 billion spent on transfers

The summer transfer period was very active in England (Premier League), Spain (LaLiga), Italy (Serie A), Germany (Bundesliga) and France (Ligue 1), which are considered as the 5 most important leagues in Europe. The Premier League remained on top again, improving on its transfer record (2.8 billion) set two summers ago.

With €3.6 billion, the Premier League set the bar a little higher, followed by Serie A with €1.19 billion and Bundesliga teams with €851 million.

SUPER LEAGUE RANKED 7TH

LaLiga teams allocated 684 million euros for transfers, while Ligue 1 saw 662 million euros of activity. The Super League ranked 7th in the list of European leagues with €321 million.

In the total income and expenditure table, only two leagues closed the summer period with a surplus. The Bundesliga earned 1.03 billion euros and Ligue 1 earned 974 million euros, leaving this period without a deficit. Spending in transfers in Europe's top 5 leagues is as follows:

LVERPOOL SET A RECORD

Liverpool, who won the Premier League title last season under Dutch coach Arne Slot, became the fastest team of the summer period. First breaking the club record and signing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for 116 million euros, the "Reds" signed Swedish striker Alexander Isak for a record fee on the last day in a transfer that turned into a crisis due to the refusal of Newcastle United.

Liverpool broke the record in English football history with 144 million euros. Liverpool in England, Bayer Leverkusen in Germany, Atletico Madrid in Spain, Milan in Italy and Strasbourg in France were the teams that spent the most in their leagues. In the Super League, Galatasaray surpassed Strasbourg with a transfer expenditure of 148 million euros.

CHELSEA SET A DIFFERENT RECORD THIS TIME

Chelsea, the representative of the capital city, which has left its mark on almost every transfer period, broke a record this season with its income this time due to UEFA's financial fair-play rules, even though it ranked at the top with its expenditures.

The "Blues", who put 332 million euros into their coffers with the players they sent, became the new record holder in this field. Chelsea, who sent Christopher Nkunku to Milan, Noni Madueke to Arsenal and Joao Felix to Al Nassr, closed this summer with a surplus of 4 million euros.

Chelsea in England, Bayer Leverkusen in Germany, Villarreal in Spain, Milan in Italy and Monaco in France were the teams that earned the most revenue in their leagues. In the Super League, Trabzonspor tops the list with 36 million euros.
