    <p>This summer's transfer window has been filled with excitement and unexpected developments. The Premier League transfer record has been shattered following Florian Wirtz's €125 million transfer from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool. Meanwhile, Manchester United has invested over €200 million into revitalizing their attacking line. Real Madrid has allocated more than €150 million to strengthen their defense. Additionally, Arsenal has recorded the highest net spending globally and managed to outmaneuver their north London rivals, Tottenham, in securing Eberechi Eze. The future of Alexander Isak remains in limbo.</p>

    <p>This summer has truly had it all. Amid the whirlwind, unprecedented sums have been exchanged. The 2025/26 summer transfer window has now set the record for the most money spent in a single transfer window, surpassing the €8.85 billion spent in the summer of the 2023/24 season. Currently, this summer's spending stands at €8.86 billion, and with just five days remaining before the window closes, this figure is expected to rise.</p>

    <h2>Top 10 Transfer Windows by Spending</h2>
    <br>

    <br>
    <p>The bulk of this summer's €8.86 billion expenditure has come from Premier League clubs, which have already invested €2.91 billion during this transfer window. The three most notable deals thus far include Wirtz's transfer to Liverpool for €125 million, Hugo Ekitiké’s move to Liverpool costing €95 million, and Benjamin Sesko’s €76.5 million transfer to Manchester United. The second highest-spending window belongs to the 2023/24 summer, where €8.85 billion was used, with Arsenal's acquisition of Declan Rice for €116.6 million being the highlight. Last summer ranks third, with an expenditure of €8.07 billion.</p>

    <br>
    <p>Going back to the 2019/20 season, that summer window ranks fourth with a total spending of €7.64 billion. As expected, all ten of the most financially significant windows have occurred during the summer, as clubs typically conduct their most lucrative business at this time. However, no window will rival this summer’s staggering expenditure, which is certain to surpass €9 billion by the Monday deadline and could approach €10 billion, with numerous high-profile deals still potentially on the horizon.</p>
