Premier League clubs spent a net total of well over £1bn - and a gross of £1.9bn - during the summer transfer window this time around, outspending all their rival leagues by a massive, and continually unsettling, amount. Some have fared better than others with that business, it’s fair to say.
LaLiga’s £55m net spend was the next highest total outlay, which factors in the likes of Jules Kounde, Umar Sadiq and Brais Mendez moving from one Spanish club to another - so no net addition, as the fee out and in is the same - and big-money sales to the Premier League such as Alexander Isak and Casemiro.
