This amount is up from last year’s Transfer Window total spend of £90 million.
Manchester City FC, it is reported, have spent around £125 million more than the other 19 English Premier League Clubs combined. The transfer to this club of forward Omar Marmoush is the most expensive player so far at a cost of £75 million.
With another 7 days left, the spend is expected to rise, but is not likely to come near the record spend of £815 million in 2023.
French Ligue 1 is the next highest spending League of £106 million, with a spend of £59 million by Paris Saint-Germain on the Napoli star player, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
