The Premier League clubs increased their expenses in the January window to 370 million pounds Sterling – out of the 100 million pounds Sterling last year – although Manchester City is mainly responsible after having rid of 180 million pounds sterling by themselves. We were far from the 2023 record of 815 million pounds sterling, but will summer see an increase in expensive movements?
This year, for the first time, the transfer window will be divided into two due to the presence of the club World Cup. The window will open from June 1 to 10, then close six days and open again on June 16.
As always, international transactions do not involve clubs in the Club World Cup and free transfers will not come before July 1.
Here are the notes of all the main transfers experienced in the male game, each listed by date and then by highest costs.
All costs are reported, unless confirmation of an asterisk.
June 1st
Matheus cunha
62.5 million pounds sterling ($ 84.7 million)
Wolves: a
Man United: B
The wolves separated from 44 million pounds sterling to sign Cunha in 2022. At the time, little doubted of his talent, but many underlined a lack of production before the objective as concern. He responded to these concerns with contribution campaigns of 19 and 21 goals in the past two seasons, effectively carrying his team through turbulent times.
The Brazilian international seems ideal for supporting Rúben Amorim support support in training 3-4-3, and he is clearly a player ready to assume responsibility and to make things happen in the last third, which Man United needs more. He is a player at his peak, ready to direct … but his warm nature can sometimes prevail.
AFC Bournemouth: a
Real Madrid: a
Madrid moved quickly and beat a multitude of competitions to guarantee the signing of Huijsen after his escape campaign in 2024-25 in the Premier League. The comfort of Spanish with the ball at its feet, slalom dribbles and real two feet marked it as one of the best young central backs in the world; His style recalls a young gerard stung.
Bournemouth was able to take advantage of it for a single season, but by acquiring it from Juventus and accepting a liberation clause of 50 million pounds sterling, they would not have been illustrated to know if it was a long -term marriage. Perhaps the big blow arrived earlier than expected, but they were nevertheless well compensated.

Marcotti: The transfer clause of 50 million pounds sterling from Huijsen “as a free transfer”
Gab Marcotti talks about the reported transfer of Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid from Bournemouth.
CP Sports: C-
Chelsea: B +
Essugo was hidden in a larger case which also takes the 18 -year -old winger Geovany Quenda (52 million euros) in Chelsea in 2026. He is the least publicized of the two, although he made waves when he made his arch of the 16 -year -old Champions League in 2021. He is an energy and an aggressive defensive midfield energy resolutely.
The loan move to Las Palmas this season has helped him get a foothold in the senior match, and his performances suggest that Chelsea has obtained the best end of this part of the agreement.
Liverpool: D
Real Madrid: a
We were all ready to add the name of Alexander -Arnold to the Real Madrid free transfers’ list – but the FIFA club World Cup highlighted this. At the end, Whites Paid around 12 million euros to inaugurate the right back before the tournament this summer, cement that they take it incredibly seriously.
Time could prove that it is an excessive decision of Madrid, but in the end, they still signed an amazing player for a low amount. Liverpool’s note went on an F because they have at least obtained something in exchange for their graduate from the Academy.

Hislop: Frimpong is a replacement for the same thing for Trent
Shaka Hislop reacts to the news of Liverpool signing Jeremie Frimpong de Bayer Leverkusen as replacement by Trent Alexander-Arnold.
July 1st
Bayer Leverkusen: C
Liverpool: A-
It is impossible to replace Alexander-Arnold in the right back in the same way as just as for the best that Liverpool opted for a completely different player type in Frimpong. The Dutch player is more a winger who will now have to adapt and take back to a position he has not called home for a few good years.
Costs of 35 million euros represent an intelligent and opportunistic agreement for the Reds. But it is difficult for Leverkusen, who loses an excellent player, as part of his career, who was a huge personality in the team, for a rate lower than the market.
Valence: B
Liverpool: A-
Liverpool has doubled their policy to keep the talented goalkeeper room by bringing the top scorer under 25 in Europe. Mamardashvili resembles the second coming of Gianluigi Donnarumma; Its large strong setting, its incredible reflexes and its air domination all impress. It should be noted, however, that he shares the lack of finesse of the Italian during the passage of the ball.
The transfer fees are superb for red and bad for Valence. Part of the reason for which it is cheap is because Che I have to keep it for an additional season on loan, but the story will be read: Mamardashvili for 35 million euros. And it will be considered a good deal.
Stephen
€ 34 million (28.5 million pounds sterling, $ 38.5 million)
Palmeiras: a-
Chelsea: a
“I think he’s going to be a genius.” The Verdict de Neymar d’Estêvão will be music with the ears of Chelsea, which is committed when the player was only 17 years old at an agreement which could reach around 67 million euros ($ 76 million) if additional modules are respected.
It is ridiculously exciting to watch, already has tons of experience in the first team to its credit and led the first Brazilian level with 22 goal contributions in 2024. Palmeiras was never going to hang on a player nicknamed “Messinho” for a long time, but they kept it at least for the club World Cup.
Bayer Leverkusen: C-
Bavaria Munich: B-
A pillar of Leverkusen, Tah has a career trajectory which suddenly fired up in 2023-24, when he assembled the rear line to an undefeated race for the title of Bundesliga. The role that Xabi Alonso organized for him was very specific, in the heart of a back, which highlighted his best. This will hurt to lose the German international for free.
Obviously, Bayern is convinced that Tah is the Plug-And-Play answer to their central defensive problems, but they will have to get the most out of it, over a longer period, that Leverkusen has made it for this to be the case. There would be significant signature costs (15 million euros) and large wages (more than € 200,000 per week) which are engaged in this agreement, so do not be fooled in thought that Tah is particularly cheap.
Bavaria Munich: C
Like Monaco: B +
Eyebrows were raised when the Bayern signed Dier de Tottenham Hotspur in January 2024. After all, he could not break the XI of Angel Postocoglou, so how was he going to get the playing time in Munich? But 18 months and more than 45 appearances later, he left well considered. In fact, given the long -term injuries Redness Assign at the central back, they will probably end up missing.
Monaco will have Dier’s experience to guide a team that is, by design, young and full of promises. He looks well suited to this role of Elder Statesman.
