It could very well prove to be the transfer window that shatters the record £3billion spending spree that engulfed Premier League clubs last summer.Because although deals may not yet be coming thick and fast, the outlays have been significant. In between those deals, Tottenham signed off a £100m package to lure Sandro Tonali to London.Since Jack Grealish became the first £100m transfer in Premier League history back in 2021, seven others have joined him in that club.Never before, though, have three £100m-plus deals happened in a single transfer window — until now.
It's understood that they would have maybe gone to £80m to land Rogers: a figure which may have got a deal done prior to the World Cup. Both deals represented British record transfer fees, with Isak surpassing Wirtz weeks later.Again, the calibre of Liverpool's targets means they are likely to be shopping in the nine-figure price bracket this year.
Furthermore, they will feel they have found value in a vastly inflated market after finalising deals for Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans for £50m and £35m respectively.The Red Devils are still in the market for one more midfielder plus reinforcements in other areas and even though it feels unlikely they will break the £100m barrier, the state of the market will effect them too.United have continued to target established Premier League players after successful moves for Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha last season, but even deals for those players outside the elite bracket are soaring. If a deal were to be done at that level, it would make the 22-year-old the joint-third biggest transfer acquisition in United's history.That Premier League premium, if you will, has already been seen across other deals.
