There are about 20 days left until the end of the transfer window for most leagues in Europe – which means we can slowly settle the accounts. And when it comes to money – earned and spent – as in previous years, the English Premier League leads the way, i.e. its clubs, which have allocated 1,441,715,036 euros to compensations! Although the sum seems incredible to the rest of the world, it is still not a record. But, if at least half of the plans of Manchester United, Chelsea, Newcastle, and the rest do come true – when August 31 expires, the participants of the richest league in the world could transfer the sum of 1,610,000,000 euros that they spent on player reinforcements in the summer of 2017.##NAJAVA_MECA_6557682##Their colleagues from the other four European top leagues are far from their best investing days. The Italians spent “only” 589,225,000 euros compared to 1,360,000,000 in 2019, which was a record year, which was also the most-spending year for La Liga (1,360,000,000), Bundesliga (746,990,000) and Ligue 1 teams (710,420,000).The results are far more modest when it comes to compensation income, and in that segment, it is unlikely that any of the strongest leagues will reach their own, and especially not the absolute record of La Liga teams from 2019, when they collected 1,030,000,000 euros on this basis. In fact, that summer was the only time someone crossed the magic number of a billion.Premier League members achieved a personal record in 2017 (872,950,000) while the Ligue 1 participants earned the most in 2018 (889,300,000). 2019 was the coffers-filling year for teams from Serie A (874,920,000) and Bundesliga (570,750,000).EXPENSES FOR THE ONGOING TRANSFER WINDOW (in euros)1.
