After a summer full of rumors, flashy unveilings, and record-breaking fees, one thing is clear: clubs are spending big again. Teams from the Premier League, LaLiga, and even Serie A sides like Como 1907 are going all in to reshape their squads. Some want to reinforce their dominance, others are aiming to crash the big stage.

Chelsea and Liverpool setting the pace

Leading the pack is Chelsea, fresh off their Club World Cup title, with €244 million already invested. Right behind them is Liverpool, reigning Premier League champions, with €214 million. As usual, English clubs are dictating the rhythm of the market.

Real Madrid and other giants aren’t far behind

Sitting in third place is Real Madrid, with €180.5 million spent so far. With the arrivals of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mastantuono, Carreras, and Huijsen, the Spanish giants are clearly building for the future. And they may not be done yet—another signing could push them past the €200M mark. Tottenham (€141M) and Manchester City (€131M) complete the Top 5.
