Halfway through the summer session 2025 the economic dominion of the Premier League emerges clearly: two billion euros spent, almost the 2024 record with a month of negotiations
The summer session of the 2025 transfer market came right halfway and the unique and incontrovertible data is that the real sheikhs of world football are not in the desert of Saudi Arabia, where they do not pass it badly, but in London and surroundings. In a month of negotiations, shots and records, the Premier League has already spent almost as much as in the summer of 2024, a historical record reached by the volumes of the English market: 1.95 billion euros against 2.37 of a year ago (Transfermarkt source).
And it’s not over. On the contrary. Because the craziest blow is always around the corner and in the case of the Premier League it bears the name of Aleksander IsaksNewcastle striker that Liverpool craves and which costs only – so to speak – 175 million euros. Money that in the case of Liverpool would be added to the 136 already spent to secure the German talent of Bayer Leverkusen Florian Wirtz and the 91 put on the table to take Hugo Ekitike from the Frankfurt Eintracht. It is true that in exit was sold Luis Diaz At Bayern Munich for 75, but it seems completely evident how the expenditure power of the Reds and of all the other English clubs is almost unapproachable not only in Europe but also in the rest of the world. Emir including.
Transfer market, because the Premier League is rich
To make the Premier League so rich that everything is not to be afforded is not oil but television. From 1 July the contract for the transfer of the TV rights of the championship which guarantees the League with a seasonal income of 7.7 billion euros between domestic and international rights. Money that is divided into an almost equal way among all the companies that are part of the maximum division, so that it can happen that a team just promoted as the Sunderland has a fire power greater than the big names in the Serie A and can allow itself to engage Xhaka that Inter and Milan also liked.
The Premier League enjoys an inclination advantage on the competition, has a television and commercial appeal that others dream with very few exceptions such as Real Madrid which, however, represents a world apart with its turnover of a billion euros fueled by the stars that compete to go to play Bernabeu.
The last example is striking. Puma has signed a contract with Manchester City which will allow Manchester’s blues to collect a billion euros in the next ten years: 100 million per season, more than double than what our top budgets, and those of the other top level championships of the old continent, under the item ‘Technical sponsor’.

The Chelsea case: fined by UEFA and yet spends …
Stronger than all, even if the rules have forced many premier league companies and make fatal jumps to return to the English fair play stakes. The rule says that nobody can write losses over 120 million euros in three years and there are those who have had to use alternative tools to avoid problems.
Chelsea and Aston Villa sold the respective female teams to the owners of the main club themselves, stripping of an asset, or has put his hand to the sale of a hotel (Chelsea) with the same assumption to move it to those who hold the majority shares.
Chelsea has just been reckless also by UEFA For not having respected the parameters of the financial fair play which allows access to the Champions League and European competitions: 80 million euros, of which 20 immediately and 60 conditioned to respect a subscribed quadrennial sectlection agreement, plus another 11 for having circumvented the limits of Mount Mountains. In the agreements with Nyon there are mandatory stakes in the membership of new players. Yet in London they go forward shipped and the early July invested 70 million euros in Joao Pedro so as to send him to the States allowing him to be decisive in the conquest of the Club World Cup.
