Which are the leagues that have invested the most money in this latest transfer market??
As is usual, at the end of the transfer period in the major leagues of Europe, it is time to take stock of the investments made by the clubs. But nevertheless, this season brings an unexpected twist with the irruption of Saudi Arabia in the transfer market, which significantly conditions the dynamics of transfers. There are many elite European football players who have gone to the Saudi League.
The Premier League, as usual, is at the top of spending, leaving its European competitors behind by a wide margin. By contrast, Spain is affected by the difficult financial situation faced by most of its teams, which has considerably limited their investment capacity. Total, spending on transfers in La Liga has not even reached 450 millions of euros, and approximately a quarter of this investment corresponds to the signing of Jude Bellingham for Real Madrid.
