Premier League clubs are set to surpass last year's record £3.1bn summer spending on deadline day, following Liverpool's £123m acquisition of Bradley Barcola. Teams across England's top division have already spent approximately £3bn in the current window, which is scheduled to close tomorrow night at 11pm. This leaves them £100m short of the £3.1bn benchmark established last summer, when Premier League clubs made unprecedented financial commitments.
Barcola, who joined Liverpool from Paris Saint-Germain, is the most expensive signing of the window by an English club. Liverpool has now spent more than £100m on a player in just over a year, following earlier signings of Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz. Manchester City, meanwhile, signed Brazilian winger Allan Elias, while Nottingham Forest finalized the arrival of Daniel Munoz.
Potential big deals on the horizon include City's proposed double swoop for Enzo Fernandez and Cody Gakpo, as well as Chelsea's £120m bid for Argentine midfielder Fernandez and City's £85m acquisition of Liverpool forward Gakpo.
