The 2025 summer transfer window is now open and clubs across Europe are already in negotiations with a number of players as they look to finalise their business early.

The January window saw a whole host of big money transfers, with Al-Nassr splashing out €77.5m for Jhon Duran, Manchester City spending €75m on Omar Marmoush and PSG paying €70m for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

The summer transfer window is expected to see even more money being spent, especially as a number of top clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal and Real Madrid kept their powder dry in January.

Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen and Darwin Nunez will all be on the move in the summer and are expected to command sizable fees.

The dates of the summer window have also been moved around due to the Club World Cup in June.

In the summer of 2024, the Premier League flexed its financial muscle yet again, although English top flight teams spent far less than they did in 2023.

Julian Alvarez was the most expensive signing of the summer window, with the Argentina international leaving Man City to join Atletico Madrid for an initial fee of €75 million.

However, Kylian Mbappe was the biggest mover of the 2024 summer transfer window, as he finally completed a Bosman move to Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain.
