Edinson Cavani became the protagonist of the last day of the transfer window.
The Uruguayan striker moved to Manchester United for four years and became the club's highest paid player - his salary, according to media reports, will be at least € 9 million per year.
At the same time, the Mancunians did not spend anything on the transfer, since the 33-year-old footballer was a free agent.
Cavani spent seven years at PSG and left the club after his contract expired this summer, even before the team made it to the Champions League final.
All this time, he was considered the most valuable player without a club, whose value was estimated at € 20 million. There were many applicants for Cavani among the top teams in Europe, but few could satisfy his salary requests, to which the Uruguayan was entitled as the best scorer in history PSG.
As a result, the search for a new club dragged on, and only at the last moment, Manchester United, shortly before that lost to Tottenham with a score of 1: 6, accepted the conditions of the Uruguayan.
The Mancunians were generally the most active on the last day of the transitions.
On Monday, they also strengthened the left flank of the defense by signing Alex Telles.
He moved from Porto for just € 15 million, according to Transfermarkt.
The 27-year-old Brazilian has proven himself to be a master of attacking connectivity in his homeland, with 83 goals in 195 appearances.
In addition to him, United also acquired two young players for the future - Uruguayan striker Facundo Pellistri and Ivorian winger Amada Traore.
The latter, however, will still gain experience in Atalanta before winter, for which he played only 24 minutes.
At the same time, they were in no hurry to part with their players in Manchester United, retaining the main backbone of the team.
The club only allowed Alexis Sanchez and Chris Smalling to sign full contracts with Inter and Roma instead of leases.
United did not sell goalkeeper Sergio Romero, however, which angered his wife.
She urged the club to show respect for her husband, who has not been given a chance in the most important matches recently, and now can be assigned the role of the third goalkeeper.
Against the background of the expenses of other clubs, the activity of Manchester United does not look so bright anymore.
Chelsea spent the most over the summer, waiting for the transfer ban to be lifted.
The Londoners broke the record for this transfer window by acquiring Kai Havertz for an alleged € 80m. By the age of 21, he had already become one of Bayer's leaders and deserved to be promoted to a more ambitious club.
In addition to Havertz, Chelsea signed forward Timo Werner from Leipzig, defender Ben Chilwell from Leicester, midfielder Hakim Ziyech from Ajax and a number of other players, and also got Cavani's former team-mate Thiago Silva for free.
In total, Roman Abramovich's club has spent, according to media reports, about € 250 million and now must find a way to create a combat-ready team from newcomers.
So far, the Londoners have won only two out of four matches in the Premier League and have been eliminated from the League Cup.
However, Chelsea's expenses seem to be rather an exception for the last transfer window.
Its peculiarity was that the loudest transitions were made for free, and not for fabulous money.
In addition to Cavani and Silva, it is enough to remember Luis Suarez, whom Barcelona calmly let go to Atlético, breaking the contract with him.
At the new place of work and without Lionel Messi, the Uruguayan has already managed to prove himself, having scored two goals and passed the transfer in the first match.
Now all of Spain is waiting for the meeting of Suarez with former teammates no less than el clasico.
The most rewarding summer transition at this stage is the move of James Rodriguez to Everton.
The Colombian also left Real Madrid as a free agent and fits perfectly into the new team.
His three goals and three assists earned the team five victories and topped the Premier League standings.
For Rodriguez, this is cause for pride, as being in Real Madrid almost put an end to his career - last season he entered the field only 14 times and distinguished himself only once.
In addition to the Colombian, Zinedine Zidane released another star player from Madrid.
Gareth Bale will play for the rest of the season at his former club Tottenham.
While the Welshman is on loan, which is also a rather profitable option for the London club.
But Bale cannot restart his career yet due to injury.
But Tottenham and without him have a lot of newcomers, on whom about € 100 million was spent in total.
Outside England and Spain, there have also been transfers that could be decisive this season.
One of the most expensive deals was made by Juventus and Barcelona.
The Turin club received midfielder Artur Melo at its disposal, having paid € 72 million for him, according to media reports.
He wanted to leave Catalonia in the summer due to a lack of playing practice.
True, in Turin, the Brazilian still took to the field for only 32 minutes, and only a drunk accident managed to be remembered.
Miralem Pjanic followed in the opposite direction for € 60 million.
Inter took second place in Italy after Juventus in transfer activity.
According to Transfermarkt, the club spent € 97m on Real Madrid defender Ashraf Hakimi and several lesser-known players.
In addition to the aforementioned Sanchez, the Milanese also received Arturo Vidal for free, who was released by Barcelona.
His arrival was especially awaited by Inter's mentor Antonio Conte, with whom the Chilean had already won Serie A three times.
A summer transfer campaign would be incomplete without mentioning Bayern Munich.
She also took part in the buying and selling of football stars.
Munich has finally acquired from Manchester City for € 45 million (according to media reports) Leroy Sane, who was not taken last season due to the fact that the midfielder tore his cruciate knee ligaments.
Now they have at their disposal another player of the German national team.
On the last day of the transfer window, Bayern also reclaimed Douglas Costa, took Eric-Maxime Chupo-Moting from PSG free of charge, and allegedly paid € 10 million to Marcel for Buna Sarah.
Thiago Alcantara, who had long dreamed of trying his hand at the Premier League, followed in the opposite direction.
Liverpool, according to press reports, paid € 30 million for the Spanish midfielder.
