Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The record-breaking summer transfer window came to an end on Friday, with English Premier League clubs having shelled out \u20ac2.8 billion ($3 billion) for newcomers.<\/p>\n

All five major European leagues closed their transfer window on the same Sept. 1 deadline, and powerhouses bolstered their squads with the signing of many stars from around the world.<\/p>\n

Placing second, Ligue 1, the top tier of French football, showed their muscles with recruitment estimated at \u20ac898 million ($963 million).<\/p>\n

The Saudi Pro League spent \u20ac896 million ($961 million) to enlist stars from elite European clubs. Spanish La Liga came fourth with \u20ac439 million ($470 million).<\/p>\n

Chelsea top transfer table with $497M in record-breaking fashion<\/b><\/p>\n

Chelsea occupied the first spot in the ranking of the most expensive clubs for one window in one league this summer, with \u20ac464 million ($497 million).<\/p>\n

The Blues made serious waves in the transfer market since US businessman Todd Boehly completed his Chelsea takeover in May 2022.<\/p>\n

The London club splashed out a staggering \u20ac116 million ($124 million) to make Moises Caicado from Ecuador the second most expensive player as the Blues acquired Enzo Fernandez from Benfica in the winter transfer window on a \u20ac121 million ($129 million) fee.<\/p>\n

Chelsea, which parted ways with Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy, and Ruben Loftus Cheek, strengthened their squad with 11 footballers.<\/p>\n

On the transfer list, Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal came second with \u20ac353 million ($378 million) and Paris Saint-Germain are third, spending \u20ac349 million ($375 million).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, West Ham United’s Declan Rice moved to Arsenal to become the most expensive English footballer in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old midfielder has a \u20ac116 million ($124 million) contract for Mikel Arteta’s side.<\/p>\n
