What stood out this year was not the money being spent, but how widespread the big deals were. The Premier League maintained its financial advantage by investing heavily in new players. But Turkey surprised everyone with a move that no one expected. Much like the unpredictability of a casino en ligne Sénégal, the transfer market this year kept fans guessing until the very last minute.
Victor Osimhen’s surprise move to Galatasaray proved that transfers aren’t about England anymore.
The summer window broke records. A big part of this was Alexander Isak’s move to Liverpool. It is the club’s largest deal in years.
Other clubs, like Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Bayern, spent a lot. Saudi teams and several European clubs also joined the competition.
Here’s a quick look at the 20 biggest transfers of summer 2025, ranked by fee and what they mean for the season ahead.
1) Alexander Isak (Newcastle United → Liverpool) – £125m
The biggest deal of the summer, and by a long distance, is.
Alexander Isak shone for Newcastle, but Liverpool sought a new striker. They pursued him right up to deadline day.
They paid £125m — a club record and the Premier League’s biggest deal of 2025. After they couldn't sign Marc Guéhi, Liverpool went all in. Their hard work finally paid off.
Isak combines technical skill with deadly finishing. His style feels right for Anfield. The price tag is huge — and so are the hopes riding on him.
2) Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen → Liverpool) – £100m, rising to £116m
If Isak were the headline, Wirtz was the sequel that confirmed Liverpool’s ambition.
The German playmaker was often linked to a move to England. After another great season, Bayer Leverkusen couldn't say no. So, Liverpool made a nine-figure offer.
Wirtz joins a rare group of players with a £100m upfront fee, which could reach £116m with add-ons.
Wirtz’s transfer, along with Isak’s, shows the club's aim for dominance, not survival.
3) Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt → Liverpool) – £69m, rising to £79m
Few expected Liverpool to land three of the top five signings in one summer, but here we are. Hugo Ekitike was once linked to Newcastle. Yet, Liverpool jumped in when the chance came up.
Liverpool spent £69m, with add-ons pushing it to £79m, to bring in extra attacking depth.
Isak leads as the main striker. Wirtz plays the creator role. Ekitike adds versatility to the front line.
Ekitike now needs to prove he can be more than a backup option. Liverpool's attack is crowded. Still, the club thinks its potential is high enough to warrant the investment.
4) Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig → Manchester United) – £66.2m, rising to £73.4m
Manchester United entered the summer desperate for a reliable striker. With Højlund’s first season up and down, United stepped up their striker search.
Sesko, long admired for his physical presence and goalscoring ability, became their solution.
United paid £66.2m, with add-ons bringing it to £73.4m.
Critics say this might turn out like the Højlund gamble. Yet, Šeško has shown a more consistent performance in the Bundesliga.
How he thrives or struggles will shape their attack under the new ownership led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
5) Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford → Manchester United) – £65m, rising to £71m
Mbeumo has often been tied to bigger clubs. Mbeumo’s consistency at Brentford made him impossible to ignore, and United eventually sealed the deal.
Negotiations were drawn out, with Brentford holding firm on their valuation.
The £65m starting fee, which could reach £71m, seems high. Still, Mbeumo offers proven quality in the Premier League.
He will add pace and directness on the right wing, areas where United has lacked depth.
6) Arsenal signed Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace for £60m, a fee that could rise to £67.5m.
Arsenal had tracked Eze for years, and this summer they finally sealed the deal.
At £60m, possibly going up to £67.5m, Eze is one of Palace’s biggest sales. He also boosts Arsenal’s attack with his creativity.
His dribbling and flair can add a fresh spark. This is key, especially against low-block defenses, where Arsenal has often struggled.
7) Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth → Real Madrid) – £50m
Real Madrid completed a £50m move for Dean Huijsen to round off their business. Just a year after joining Bournemouth for £12.6m, the young defender is on his way to the Bernabéu.
Madrid paid his release clause, spreading the fee across three installments.
Juventus and Málaga, his old clubs, have sell-on clauses. It turned into one of the most lucrative sales in Bournemouth’s history.
8) Newcastle Signed Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest for £52m, Potentially £55m with add-ons
Newcastle may have lost Isak, but they added pace on the wings. Elanga joined from Nottingham Forest for £52m, potentially £55m with add-ons.
The Swedish winger rebuilt his career at Forest after leaving Manchester United. He now returns to the spotlight at the highest level.
9) Illia Zabarnyi (Bournemouth → Paris Saint-Germain) – £54.3m rising to £57m
PSG continued their strategy of signing young defensive talent, landing Zabarnyi from Bournemouth. At £54.3m, with add-ons taking it to £57m, this was another major outlay.
For Bournemouth, this was the third major defensive sale in two years. It reinforces its image as a club that develops talent and sells for a profit.
PSG sees Zabarnyi as a cornerstone for their long-term defensive setup. He could anchor their back line for the next ten years.
10) Mohammed Kudus (West Ham → Tottenham Hotspur) – £55m
Tottenham’s second big move of the summer was Kudus, prized from West Ham for £55m. Kudus impressed in his debut Premier League campaign with flair, goals, and energy. He mixed power, flair, and goals from midfield.
Tottenham’s attack looks revitalized with Kudus and Simons adding pace and creativity. For West Ham fans, the departure stung. But the fee brought in important funds for reinvestment.
Conclusion
The 2025 summer window proved that football’s transfer market is as unpredictable as ever. Record fees, shocking moves, and bold claims from Europe’s giants set the stage for a thrilling season. Fans now wait to see which of these big-money signings will truly deliver.
