4 teams spend more than 1 billion euros on transfers

Since the summer of 2020, four Premier League clubs including Tottenham, MU, Man City and Chelsea have spent more than 1 billion euros on sensational transfers.

Tottenham have so far spent less than €1bn , but with Morgan Gibbs-White set to complete, they will surpass that figure - a big change from the years when the London club barely spent money during their heyday under Mauricio Pochettino.

Tottenham have spent an average of €163.5m per season since the 2020/21 season, with 49 players joining the team. New signings such as Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel, Kevin Danso, Luka Vuskovic and Kota Takai have joined this summer, marking the start of a promising transfer window under manager Thomas Frank.

When it comes to strong spending power in the transfer market, few clubs can compare to Manchester United . The "Red Devils" have signed 35 players since the summer of 2020 and spent more than 1 billion euros on transfer deals.

However, the results have not been commensurate with this investment, when expensive contracts such as Jadon Sancho, Antony, Casemiro, Rasmus Hojlund or Mason Mount have not met expectations. Matheus Cunha may make a difference, but overall, MU's expensive new recruits have been disappointing.

After an unsatisfactory 2024/25 season, Pep Guardiola returned to the transfer market to strengthen his squad. Since the beginning of 2025, Man City have spent more than 340 million euros to sign players such as Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez, Abdukodir Khusanov, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Rayan Cherki.

"The Citizens" have spent 1.1 billion euros on stars like Ruben Dias, Jack Grealish, Erling Haaland and Josko Gvardiol since the summer of 2020. Man City are the second-biggest spenders since the 2020/21 season, but in terms of total net spending (the difference between buying and selling players, taking the purchase price minus the sale price - PV), they are below Chelsea, MU, Tottenham and Arsenal.

Chelsea top the table with a whopping €1.9 billion spend over the past five years. Although they have made around €800 million from player sales, this figure is insignificant compared to the huge spending. Under BlueCo's ownership, Chelsea have adopted a unique transfer strategy by constantly shopping for promising young stars on the market.

In addition, the club has signed long-term contracts with extremely attractive salary terms, making them one of the highest-paid teams in Europe. In total, Chelsea has recruited 59 players in the past 5 years, each deal costing an average of 33.7 million euros.
