wirtz mbeumo transfer squad cost 2025
Based on industry estimates, the Premier League teams of Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City have been the most expensive to assemble in terms of total aggregate transfer fees.
Chelsea won two trophies last season as a result of their recent free-spending approach to the transfer market, despite criticism for their extravagant expenditure.
However, after making significant player acquisitions, the two Manchester clubs, who both went trophyless the previous season, will be eager to bounce back in 2025–2026. After a summer of heavy spending, Arsenal and Liverpool have closed the gap on the billion-euro three, and Tottenham has a costly team as well.
The FA Cup winners sit behind promoted Burnley and Leeds United, while Crystal Palace’s roster is third-bottom on the squad cost chart.
Despite spending only €191 million to create their team, Sunderland is far from at the bottom of the standings. Additionally, they are the only Premier League team whose entire roster was assembled for less than €200 million.
Regis Le Bris’s squad this summer has incurred the majority of their squad costs, highlighting the accomplishment of being promoted from the Championship the previous season.
