This summer, yet more big deals have been finalised, with a number of world-renowned superstars on the move and several others expected to follow suit over the coming hours.
Manchester United have signed Carlos Baleba, Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans as they look to revamp their midfield, while Karl Darlow has controversially joined from rivals Leeds to act as back-up to Senne Lammens.
Meanwhile, Manchester City have shattered their club record with the €135m signing of Nottingham Forest and England midfielder Elliot Anderson, in addition to signing Ayyoub Bouaddi, while Spurs have twice broken their record, first on West Ham United wonderkid Mateus Fernandes and then on Newcastle star Sandro Tonali.
Morgan Rogers is Chelsea's marquee signing, Arsenal have added Bruno Guimaraes, among several others, and Liverpool have bolstered Andoni Iraola's squad with Jeremy Jacquet, Victor Munoz and Ronald Araujo (loan).
Barcelona have recruited Rodri, Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi, while Real Madrid have made several eye-catching signings, including Marc Cucurella, Bernardo Silva, Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries.
