End of Summer Transfer Window – Conclusions

The 2023/24 summer transfer window ended last week. A period of extensive negotiations, strategic manoeuvres and financial investments by clubs across Europe’s top leagues. Unsurprisingly, Premier League clubs led the way in transfer spends in comparison to clubs in other ¨Big 5¨ leagues.

Some insightful takeaways include:

  • ¨Big 5¨ League clubs spent a combined 5.72 billion Euros
  • Premier League clubs accounted for nearly 50% of total expenditure
  • LaLiga clubs spent least amount out of ¨Big 5¨
  • Although not in the ¨Big 5,¨ Saudi Pro League clubs spent a significant 778.2 million Euros (4 PIF clubs)

Premier League transfer spends slightly dropped this window in comparison to last year, however, the difference remains abysmal in contrast to the rest of the ¨Big 5 ¨ leagues.
