The 2026-27 Premier League summer transfer window is now closed, and the summer’s business is done.
Premier League clubs spent a combined $4.58bn in gross fees across the summer window, and the final net-spend picture is settled. Liverpool sit top of the table, having spent $286.2m more than they’ve brought back in.
Ipswich ($236.4m) and Man City ($231.9m) round out the top three.
At the other end of the table, Aston Villa (-$80.1m) and Chelsea (-$79.6m) have taken in the most, each selling for far more than they’ve laid out.
Fourteen of the 20 clubs have spent more than they’ve recouped, while six come out with a net profit on the window.
