  "account": "Manchester City set a Premier League transfer record by spending £125 million to acquire Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea. The club, led by new manager Enzo Maresca, broke the previous record by spending £458 million on new players in the window. Chelsea also broke the transfer record, spending £349 million to bring in Morgan Rogers, the most expensive British player in history. Tottenham spent over £300 million on new signings, but their efforts have not translated onto the pitch yet. Liverpool and Manchester United, despite making significant investments, may not have been successful enough to secure a title challenge.",
  "summary": "Pep Guardiola's exit sparked a £458 million overhaul, while the Blues spent £349 million to revitalise a team that finished 10th last season.",
