Premier League transfers: January spend higher than last year with one week left
Manchester City’s performance on the defending of the Premier League is unexpectedly bad, resulting in Poper Guardiola signed three huge contracts -Is have more potential in the future.
Manchester City signed the Frankfurt striker Omar Murmus (59 million pounds), Parmelas defender Vito Rez (29.6 million pounds) and Langs central defender Abdulkir Kusanov ( £ 33.6 million).
Since signing Emmeric Latalt at 57 million pounds in 2018, they have never had a major signing in January before.
Paul Macdonald of Footballtransfers.com said: “In January 2023, it cost 815 million pounds, accounting for 28.4%of all transfer expenses of the season, the highest year in the past ten years.
“But there are some relief factors. Only Chelsea has undertaken 286 million pounds. We also witnessed the despair of the team facing the threat of relegation -Leeds Lianlian, Southampton, and Lester City. ——Burnsmus spent more than 200m distance between them, trying to avoid falling.
“But a thorough reset occurred in 2024 -it took 96 million pounds, accounting for only 3.9%of the total expenditure this season, because each team seemed to be satisfied with their destiny, and the most important thing was that they keenly they keenly. Realize that the new PSR restrictions and choose to keep any expenditure window in summer. “
The rules of profit and sustainable development have hindered the development of the club -Everton and Nottingham Forests were deducted from the rules of the Premier League last season.

McDonald added: “2025 will be a more active window than last year, and Manchester City is very active.
“But because of the calm summer business, they accumulated a very strong position in PSR, so they still have space, and other teams like Manchester United may not be so lucky.
“Liverpool may also have PSR space, but their focus may be renewal rather than acquisitions, because Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil Van Dike and Mohammed Salah still have to be contended.
“Chelsea is still trying to find a balance by selling some of the players they introduced -but they may once again think that the summer transfer window is a better place and can get value for those who are considered beyond demand.”
