This transfer window has been incredible. Given the challenges of the last 18 months amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the financial crisis that has ensued as a result, nobody really thought anything would happen at all.
According to Transfermarkt, the English Premier League led the way by spending €1.35 billion this summer (almost as much as Barcelona's debt), while there were 248 arrivals, and some of the mega-deals that happened this window blew us away.
Just in the Premier League we had Romelu Lukaku moving to Chelsea for €115m; Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane joining Man United for a combined €141m; Man City landing Jack Grealish for €120m; while Arsenal spent the most of all the clubs in England (€165m) on six players.
