The 2026-27 Premier League summer transfer window is open, and the money is already moving.
Premier League clubs have committed a combined $1.95bn in gross fees so far this summer, and the net-spend picture is starting to take shape. Chelsea sit top of the table, having spent $202.8m more than they’ve brought back in.
Tottenham ($197.6m) and Man City ($190.2m) round out the top three.
At the other end of the table, Nottingham Forest (-$153.1m) and Aston Villa (-$144.7m) have taken in the most, each selling for far more than they’ve laid out.
Thirteen of the 20 clubs have spent more than they’ve recouped, while seven come out with a net profit on the window.
