Chelsea are bidding to be the worlds biggest spenders in the summer window for the fourth consecutive season, and they are on course to do so&
All fees and figures are taken from Transfermarkt. The 20 biggest deals of the summer are here.
10) Tottenham �60.52m
Thats a decent whack of money spent on Kevin Danso, Mathys Tel and Luka Vuskovic before Thomas Frank even gets a say.
9) Sunderland �61.7m
The Black Cats made Noah Sadiki their third summer signing and are far from finished following promotion to the Premier League.
8) Juventus �62.27m
Every penny has so far been spent on making loan signings permanent, with Nico Gonzalez their most expensive purchase.
7) Manchester United �66.8m
They have completed one of the most expensive transfers of the summer so far with the capture of Wolves maverick Matheus Cunha, with Bryan Mbeumo possibly to follow. And Diego Leon has joined for a few extra quid.

6) Atalanta �68m
Ivan Juric has somehow landed the Atalanta job and has brought Kamaldeen Sulemana with him from Southampton.
5) Brighton �69m
Maxim De Cuyper has propelled the Seagulls into the top five biggest spenders.
4) Real Madrid �101.4m
They had already dropped �50m on Dean Huijsen and �8.5m on a few weeks of Trent Alexander-Arnold before they agreed to sign man-child Franco Mastantuono for an awful lot of money.
3) Manchester City �109.6m
Thats the price of a Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolves, a Rayan Cherki from Lyon and a Tijanji Reijnders from AC Milan, and all of them feel like bargains. Pep Guardiola wanted Florian Wirtz but he will eventually cost more on his own.
2) Liverpool �194.5m
Florian Wirtz has cost an initial �100m (yes, it could rise to �116m but were not worried about add-ons on this particular list) and Jeremie Frimpong has cost �29.5m. We have also added the �25m on Giorgi Mamardashvili as that transfer will be counted in this summers accounts. And now Milos Kerkez has joined for a cool �40m.
1) Chelsea �202.6m
They were the top spenders in the summers of 2024 , 2023 and 2022 and will be up there in 2025 thanks to pre-arranged moves for Estevao, Dario Essugo, Mamadou Sarr and Kendry Paez. Throw in the �30m signing of Liam Delap and the Blues were already making very expensive waves before they signed Joao Pedro for an initial �55m.
