Summer transfer spending: Premier League, EFL, WSL, Scottish Premiership, LaLiga, Ligue 1, Serie A and Bundesliga breakdowns

How much have clubs spent on transfers during the summer window? We crunch the numbers...

Premier League clubs have smashed the transfer spending record after splashing £3.48bn on new signings.

The previous record of £3.19bn, set last summer, was surpassed following another extraordinary window across the top flight.

Clubs also recouped £2.17bn from player sales, contributing to a combined net spend of £1.30bn.

Premier League spending has now exceeded £2bn in each of the last five summer windows, with expenditure accelerating dramatically since 2022/23.

This summer's record outlay is almost three times the amount clubs spent a decade ago, when the 2016/17 total stood at £1.19bn.

The record has been broken despite Premier League clubs also generating another huge sum through sales, underlining the remarkable volume of money moving through the division.
