The newly released Global Transfer Report from football's leading governing body, FIFA, has revealed that football clubs around the world spent a record-breaking £7.6 billion on international transfer fees in the past 12 months.
The report takes into account transfers involving two teams from different nations and not domestic deals. There was a record number of international transfers in 2023 as 74,836 deals were made, with 31.7 per cent involving professional men's and women's players and the rest made up of transfers involving amateur players.
