Premier League clubs ranked by net spend | 2025-26 transfer windows
Premier League clubs spent £2.36 billion in the 2023 summer transfer window, setting a new record.
It’s easy to see how Premier League clubs reached that amount. Declan Rice’s £105m move to Arsenal became the most expensive transfer from one Premier League side to another in the competition’s history. That was until Chelsea broke the record again by finally bringing Moises Caicedo to Stamford Bridge from Brighton and Hove Albion. It was a throwback to a few years prior when Liverpool’s world-record fee for a goalkeeper, Alisson, lasted just a few days before Chelsea signed Kepa Arrizabalaga.

While the Premier League haven’t matched the spending since, there has been a lot of money changing hands over the past few years. Both windows in the 2024-25 season saw just over £1.5bn spent by Premier League clubs, with Brighton the biggest spenders (£238m). Aston Villa saw the most money coming in (£234m) helped by Moussa Diaby and Jhon Duran making moves to Saudi Arabian clubs.
There’s a month to go in the 2025 summer transfer window, and we’ve seen a lot of money spent. Liverpool’s £116m signing of Florian Wirtz remains the biggest move.
