what does the Premier League’s net-spend situation look like?​

Seven weeks down, four to go. With a little under a month remaining in the transfer window, Premier League club spending is down almost £200million, both gross and net, on this time last year.

Of course, 2025 didn’t have the all-encompassing men’s World Cup getting in the way, so a dip shouldn’t be surprising. And even with a recession to date, English teams’ spending is hardly in terminal decline and still trounces that of all other nations.

At the end of Monday, this season’s 20 Premier League sides had committed a total £1.652billion on new players this summer, and £680m net. That is just the reported transfer fees, too, so does not include agent fees or the league’s transfer levy applied to incoming deals. The true cost to clubs is even higher.

Of the 20, 13 are in a net-spend position, and some likely suspects top the charts: Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City are all into nine figures. Both Brighton & Hove Albion and Newcastle United have shelled out over £100million on new players but each, and particularly the latter, have recouped plenty too.

Chelsea’s £217million net spend so far is remarkable given they are up against a UEFA settlement agreement and have no Champions League football to bolster revenues this season.

It will be interesting to compare that final chart to the table at the end of the season.

Shocked by Hull's lack of spending. Their squad needs serious work done to it
 
Romero & Spence look on their way out and that should see us getting around £60m back.

Spence going surely means we go for a RB replacement?

We always get lowballed for our players for some reason, apart from the obvious 'world class' players we have had.

Romero is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in the world, how he can only be worth around £25-30m is bewildering even allowing for the fact we just want rid.

It's madness, under 2 years ago he was being talked about going to R.Madrid for close to £100m.

He's worked hard to make himself look like an unreliable, disloyal **** and has devalued himself to the point that no one really is competing for his signature, there really has only ever been one club lined up and the agent world knows it - and they are lowballing us - but with no other options - what choice do we have - he was a fcuking arseole in the squad last season - so the club wants rid of him, and rightly so.

As I said, I'd never normally wish this on any player, but I hope in his first game for them he breaks his leg - badly.

Don't believe we will, but we will see, net spend now drops to around £125 mill after the sale of Spence...

Romero next couple of days will bring it down to approx £85 mill and then down to £50mil when we sell Bergvall (I'm now convinced our efforts to persuade him to stay will not be fruitful..)
