Premier League clubs spent a total of 370 million pounds in the latest transfer window, marking a significant increase from last year’s 100m expenditure.
The bulk of this season’s spending came from Manchester City, which spent 180m pounds—nearly as much as the other 19 clubs combined.
City’s aggressive approach in the market was driven by their need to revive their season following a lackluster first half.
Their spending ranks as the second-highest ever in a winter window, trailing only Chelsea’s record 275m spree in 2023.
However, this window’s total expenditure still falls well short of the all-time record of 815 million pounds set in 2023.
To strengthen their squad, City secured the signings of Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt for 59m, Vitor Reis from Palmeiras for 29.6m, and Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens for 33.6m.
They also activated the 50m release clause of Nico Gonzalez from FC Porto.
This is the City’s most expensive winter window ever, though it still falls short of its 225m summer spending spree in 2017.
