Premier League transfer spending rankings 2023/24 per team, which teams spent the most and expensive
Three-peat winners, along with championship challenger Arsenal, fellow Champions League qualifiers Manchester United, and Newcastle United, Manchester City is anticipated to get stronger.
Early efforts were made by Liverpool and Chelsea to sign Alexis MacAllister and Christopher Nkunku, while Germany international Kai Havertz left the Blues to join Arsenal. Sandro Tonali, the midfielder from AC Milan who has become the club’s most costly acquisition under Eddie Howe, signed a contract with Newcastle. The news has been overshadowed by Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, though, after they agreed to a British transfer record sum to acquire Declan Rice from West Ham.
Premier League club spending in 2023/24 transfer window
The majority of Premier League clubs had a delayed start to the summer transfer window due to preparations being put on hold before preseason due to the June international break. However, the gossip cycle has picked up steam in July with significant agreements already closed and more anticipated before the campaign’s start on August 11 and beyond.
With Rice’s move across London, Arsenal is now the team with the greatest summer transfer spending, but other teams are catching up, with Manchester United spending a lot of money on Mason Mount and Andre Onana.
