Premier League breaks transfer record for second straight summer
Premier League clubs break their all-time summer transfer record after spending reaches £3.198bn.
Premier League clubs have set a new summer transfer record, breaking their previous all-time high with spending reaching £3.49bn. English top flight clubs had already surpassed the £3bn barrier when Manchester City made Iliman Ndiaye's move from Everton for £60m, pushing the total past the previous £3.14bn mark. The record-breaking summer saw Manchester City spend £458m on new signings, a new Premier League record, and Liverpool's £415m spending in 2022 now falls to third place.
Chelsea spent £349m, with a net profit of £33m after selling £382m worth of players, while Tottenham spent £302m and Hull spent £171m. The Premier League's net spend remains over £1bn for this window, despite many of the biggest sales coming from the English league to lower divisions.
