Once again, the teams taking part in the Premier League have shown their dominance of the market, with Manchester City and Liverpool being the two most expensive names. According to Transfermarkt, Premier League clubs spent 772.35 million euros, followed by Serie A (355.68 million), Bundesliga (283.58 million), Ligue 1 (204.9 million) and La Liga (151.4 million).
No team in the Premier League has invested more than Manchester City ($108.75m), followed by Arsenal ($97.06m) and Tottenham ($87.2m). In addition, English clubs contributed 6 names to the top 10 most expensive football teams.
Nunes was by far the most expensive signing as Liverpool paid Benfica €75m (excluding variable fees). Although it is currently the team that spends the most money on players, Anfield has just broken 85.79 million euros at this time, ranking fifth in the list of the most expensive clubs in Europe so far. .
The team leading the shopping list was Manchester City, when the reigning Premier League champions spent a total of 108.75 million euros, introducing Erling Haaland (60 million) and Calvin Phillips (48.75 million).
Manchester City are backed by two London teams, Arsenal and Tottenham – both of which have changed dramatically from the previous transfer period. A successful Champions League ticket has helped coach Antonio Conte get the backing of the BLD as he smashes his €87.2m safe to recruit new recruits. At the same time, Arsenal bosses also satisfied the determination to completely change coach Arteta when they spent 97.06 million euros to introduce rookies.
The top 5 non-Premier League teams are quite surprising. Dortmund has so far spent 86 million euros to strengthen the lineup to replace the position left by top striker Haaland.
The remaining names in the top ten are Leeds United ($80.64m), Real Madrid ($80m), Paris Saint-Germain ($79.5m), Newcastle United ($66m) and Atalanta ($63m).
Raheem Sterling has agreed a personal deal with Chelsea and is said to receive the highest salary in the squad. The striker also hopes to win the Ballon d’Or and the Champions League with the Blues.
According to the Telegraph, the striker, who earns £300,000 a week at Manchester City, will earn slightly more at Chelsea after agreeing to join London for £45 million.
Coach Thomas Tuchel is keen to sign the England international following Romelu Lukaku’s departure from Inter. The Belgian earns £325,000 a week at Stamford Bridge.
And now, Sterling will be the club’s highest-paid player, ahead of N’Golo Kante on £290,000 a week. The 27-year-old will also be the No. 1 pick of the Todd Boley era.
Sterling will leave the Etihad Stadium after a successful seven years, where he made 339 appearances, scoring 131 goals and providing 95 assists. The 27-year-old forward spent a lot of time on the Manchester City bench last season. Guardiola has repeatedly selected other attacking players such as Phil Foden and Jack Grealish to replace him.
Leeds had to spend £20m to convince RB Leipzig to release Tyler Adams. This is Leeds United’s financial strength after just selling Phillips to Manchester City for £45m.
On Elland Road, Adams will be reunited with his old teacher, coach Jesse Marsh. However, he also met his American teammate Brendon Aronson.
According to the Telegraph, Nottingham Forest are actively preparing for the new season. The Premier League rookie is demanding £16m for right-back Neko Williams from Liverpool after loaning Dean Henderson from MU. Liverpool are quite happy with the price and maybe the deal will be done soon.
Arsenal have asked to buy Eden Zegrova from Lille, according to Sportbible. The Kosovo winger impressed scouts when he moved to Lille last winter. The player made 12 appearances in Ligue 1, scoring 2 goals and 1 assist. Regerova, 23, started her career in Genk, Belgium.
Everton are close to signing striker Armando Broja from Chelsea, according to sources from England. With additional fees, the price of the deal was reduced to around £25 million. Earlier, Broha announced he would not be on the summer tour with Chelsea. The player impressed in the Southampton shirt last season. St Mary’s home side also want to buy but are hesitant to make an offer from Chelsea.
It is widely reported that Tottenham Hotspur is about to successfully introduce Barcelona’s Clement Lenglet. But according to Marca, coach Antonio Conte won’t stop there when he wants to bring in Villarreal’s Paolo Torres. The Spanish midfielder has been followed by MU for a long time.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that midfielder Andreas Pereira will travel to London tomorrow for a medical before signing a four-year contract with Fulham. To get Pereira, Fulham must pay Muller £10m, not including a £3m fee.
Backed by their new owners, The Bottomless Pit, Newcastle are trying to buy quality stars in this summer’s market to realise their ambitions to become the Premier League’s ‘giants’. It is understood that the Chicks are planning to recruit two wingers Moussa Diaby (Leverkusen) and Callum Hudson-Odoi (Chelsea).
Arsenal desperately need a winger to bolster Mikel Arteta’s attack despite acquiring Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City. Against the backdrop of Rafinha’s defeat, the Gunners turned to Michael Orise, Crystal Palace’s ‘rising star’ last season.
According to the British “Sun” report, Arsenal will sell seven players this summer. The Gunners have reinforced four players in the 2022 summer transfer window, namely Matt Turner, Marchinhos, Fabio Vieira and Gabriel Jesus. Arsenal are now looking to part ways with two players on loan last season, Hector Bellerin and Lucas Torreira.
Bernie Leno, Nicolas Pepe and Pablo Marri are also on the team’s liquidation list at the Emirates Stadium. Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Reiss Nelson returned to the club last season after spending some time on loan at another club, but Arsenal intend to sell both players.
