Although there is still a week before the summer transfer window closes, according to the latest statistics released by Deloitte Accounting Firm on August 25, Premier League clubs have invested £1.5 billion in signings, which is more than the previous high of £1.4 billion in 2017.
In the coming week, Premier League clubs will also make big signings, and the transfer fee will increase.
In the same period last year, the transfer expenditure of the Premier League Zhuqiang was 895 million pounds, and the final total transfer fee was 1.1 billion pounds. The low expenditure is not unrelated to the epidemic.
A Deloitte executive said: "The record spending seen in the transfer window so far this summer shows that the Premier League's business model is back on track."
The top players in the Premier League did dare to spend money on signings this summer, with 14 transactions costing more than £30 million, compared with only 8 in the same period last year.
The blockbuster deals include Liverpool's £85 million transfer fee plus floating payments to introduce Nunes; Manchester United's £70 million introduction of Casemiro; Tottenham's £60 million purchase of Richarlison; Manchester City's acquisition of Haaland Germany also spent £51.2m, not including hidden expenses; Chelsea spent £110m on Sterling and Cucurella alone.
Not only did the giants spend a lot of money on signings, but even relegation teams such as Leeds United and Nottingham Forest also spent a lot of money. Among them, Nottingham Forest introduced as many as 16 players, more than a starting lineup.
Manchester United, Chelsea and other clubs also have large-scale signing plans. As the summer window for signings closes, these giant clubs will also speed up their efforts to complete transactions, which means that the investment in signings will increase.
