Here, we will summarize the main transfers in Europe so far, dividing the signings by leagues and teams. From promising young players to established stars, see the best of what has happened in the player market for the 25/26 season.

England Premier League

As always, the Premier League is the star of the transfer window. After all, the financial power of all the teams in the league stands out from other European national championships. Thus, even smaller teams in the league are able to sign players who could be bought by giants from other countries. So much so that, of the 10 most expensive transfers in the window, 8 are from English teams.

Liverpool

Current Premier League champions Liverpool have strengthened their squad with the two most expensive signings of the European window. The first is German star Florian Wirtz. The attacking midfielder was the standout player in Bayer Leverkusen’s historic 23/24 season, which saw them win the Bundesliga for the first time. The Reds paid €125 million to take him from the German team, much more than the amount paid for the second most expensive player of the window.

In this case, the player is Hugo Ekitiké, a young Frenchman of only 20 years old who cost Liverpool €95 million. Last season, he stood out by scoring 26 goals playing for Eintracht Frankfurt, also in Germany.

In addition to them, Liverpool brought in another player who stood out at Bayern Munich: Dutch winger Frimpong. He came in as the replacement for Alexander Arnold, who left for Real Madrid. In total, the Reds spent more than €308 million in the transfer window, also bringing in goalkeepers Pésci and Woodman and full-back Kerkez.

Arsenal

Arsenal made one of the most impactful signings of the European transfer window. This was Swedish center forward Viktor Gyökeres, coming from Sporting Lisboa. There, he was an absolute standout and scored a huge number of goals, establishing himself as one of the most sought-after strikers among the big European teams. After all, he had an impressive 97 goals in 102 games for the Portuguese team. To get him out of there, the Gunners paid just over €68 million.

In addition to him, another notable signing for Arsenal is midfielder Zubimendi, a standout player on the excellent Spanish national team. Between 2019 and 2025, he played more than 230 matches for Real Sociedad, and Arsenal paid €70 million to get him out of there. This is practically the same amount that the Gunners paid for Nigerian/English midfielder Eberechi Eze, who was at Crystal Palace.

Chelsea

Current FIFA Club World Cup champions Chelsea have strengthened their squad very efficiently for this season. Proof of this is that some players made their debut in the World Cup and have already decided the championship, notably Brazilian striker João Pedro, who was bought from Brighton for €63.7 million. The London club also brought in another Brazilian gem, winger Estevão. Having just turned 18, the wonderkid came from Palmeiras for €34 million and has already made his debut, leaving a great impression.

In addition to them, Chelsea also spent fortunes on many other players:

• English striker Liam Delap, from Ipswich Town, for €35.5 million.
• Ecuadorian midfielder Kendry Páez, from Independiente Del Valle, for €10 million.
• English striker Jamie Gittens, from Borussia Dortmund, for €64.3 million.
• Dutch defender Jarrol Hato, from Ajax, for €43 million.
• Portuguese midfielder Dário Essugo, from Sporting, for €22 million.
• French defender Mamadou Sarr, from Strasbourg, for €14 million.

Manchester United

After a series of disappointing seasons, having flirted with relegation in the last Premier League, Manchester United focused on strengthening their attack and made three of the ten most expensive transfers of the window:

• Matheus Cunha, a Brazilian from Wolverhampton, for €74.2 million.
• Bryan Mbeumo, a Cameroonian from Brentford, for €74.2 million.
• Benjamin Sesko, a Slovenian from RB Leipzig, for €76.5 million.

With these three forwards alone, the club spent more than several of its rivals, who bought a large number of players.

Manchester City

After experiencing its worst season under Pep Guardiola command, City went hard after several players who fit perfectly into the coach’s style of play. The list does not include any renowned stars, but rather players with great tactical application and refined technique.

The main highlights are Dutch midfielder Reijnders, who arrived from Milan for €55 million, Algerian left-back Ait-Nouri, who came from Wolverhampton for €36.8 million, and French midfielder Cherki, who left Lyon for €36.5 million.

The latter has already made a good start for the club in the FIFA Club World Cup. In addition, the team also bought English goalkeeper James Trafford from Burnley for €31.2 million, indicating a possible end to the era of Ederson.

Spanish La Liga

The Spanish league may not have the financial power of the Premier League, but Real Madrid and Barcelona always have the potential to be protagonists in any transfer window. The two giants have the power to take any star player from any team in the world and always have several of the best athletes on the planet. In this window, however, there was nothing of a huge impact.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid had problems in defense last season, which was evident in the final stretch of the championships they played. For this reason, their most expensive signing is Spanish defender Huijsen, who, despite his youth, is already a starter for the Spanish national team and came from Bournemouth for €62.5 million.

For the right-back position, the Madrid club brought in Englishman Alexander Arnold, one of the best in the world in his position, for just €10 million due to contractual reasons with Liverpool. Another highlight is Spanish left-back Alvaro Carreras, who came from Benfica for €50 million.

With an eye on the future, Real Madrid also came to Argentina to seek out the country’s biggest wonderkid. This is Franco Mastantuono, who was at River Plate and was bought for €45 million.

Barcelona

Barcelona had a very good season last year. In addition to winning the Spanish title, the Catalan club returned to playing the beautiful football it had not played in a long time, largely thanks to the talented Lamine Yamal and Brazilian Raphinha.

As a result, the club’s transfer window was modest. The most expensive signing was Spanish goalkeeper Joan García, who came from Espanyol for €35 million. In addition, the club also signed promising Swedish player Roony Bardghji for €2.5 million from Copenhagen and brought in English striker Rashford on loan.

Atlético Madrid

Atlético Madrid spent heavily in this transfer window, mostly on players with great potential but who are not yet known worldwide. Here are the main signings:

• Raspadori, an Italian striker from Napoli, for €22 million.
• Marc Pubill, a Spanish right-back from Almeria, for €16 million.
• Thiago Almada, an Argentine midfielder who was owned by Botafogo but was playing for Lyon, for €21 million.
• Ruggeri, an Italian left-back from Atalanta, for €17 million.
• Johnny Cardoso, a Brazilian defensive midfielder from Betis, for €30 million.
• Álex Baena, midfielder from Villarreal, for €42 million.

Italian Championship

The Italian championship is not experiencing a great financial moment, which is why the country’s big clubs have opted for more modest signings. Even so, several of them have the potential to transform the teams they have joined.

Without a doubt, the biggest name signed in the country was midfielder Luka Modric, who left Real Madrid and signed with Milan after his contract expired. The team also bought midfielder Samuele Ricci from Empoli for €23 million.

Juventus signed only one new player, in addition to buying four players who were already at the club on loan. However, the signing has a big impact and came for free: Canadian Jonathan David, who left Lille after great seasons in France.

Internazionale Milan spent more than its rivals. The team brought in the striker Luis Henrique from Olympique Marseille for €23 million, the striker Bonny from Parma for the same amount, the midfielder Sucic from Dinamo Zagreb for €14 million, and the midfielder Zalewski, who was at Roma, for €6.3 million. As is traditional for the team, there are no big names on the list, but they all have good potential.

Napoli, the current Italian champions, strengthened their squad for free with Belgian star De Bruyne, who left Manchester City after his contract expired. In addition, the southern team also brought in the defender Bekeuma from Bologna for €31 million and the striker Noa Lang from PSV for €25 million.

Other leagues

In addition to the championships mentioned above, with several teams standing out in terms of signings, we have also selected other teams that have had an impact in Europe or have made star signings.

Paris Saint-Germain

PSG has maintained the style that led the club to Champions League glory last season. Instead of signing world stars, it has invested in young players with enormous potential. There were two major signings: French goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier from Lille for €55 million and Ukrainian defender Zabarnyi from Bournemouth for €63 million. But in reality, the French team’s biggest reinforcement is the retention of the entire core of the previous season’s team.

Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich was also succinct in this transfer window and brought in only one paid player. He is the Colombian Luis Días, who was at Liverpool and arrived at the club for €75 million. However, the two free signings also have enormous potential to impact the team. They are defender Jonathan Tah, who was at Bayer Leverkusen, and midfielder Tom Bischof, who was at Hoffenheim.

Galatasaray

Galatasaray may not have the same continental strength as the other clubs mentioned here, but it made one of the biggest signings of the season: Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, who belonged to Napoli but was already on loan to the Turkish team, joined the team permanently for €75 million. Not long ago, he was one of the most valuable players in the world after leading Napoli to the Italian title, and was sought after by global giants.

In addition to him, it is also worth mentioning the signing of German winger Leroy Sané, who left Bayern Munich on a free transfer after his contract expired and signed with Galatasaray.
