The 2025 summer transfer window is now open and there are a whole raft of deals already agreed. This list will change roughly a trillion times over the coming months.
If you want a full list of just Premier League transfers then this is your link.
Players are ranked by size of the initial fee, with add-ons stated.
1) Matheus Cunha (Wolves to Manchester United) – £62.5m
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s cost-cutting scheme threatened Man Utd’s deal for Cunha as they had a ‘request’ rejected, but they eventually ‘met the terms’ to complete this window’s most expensive transfer *so far*.
2) Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth to Real Madrid) – £50m
Real Madrid matched Huijsen’s release clause just a year after he joined the Cherries for just £12.6m. The fee will be paid in three instalments by Real, with his former clubs Juventus due 10% and Malaga 5%.
3) Liam Delap (Ipswich Town to Chelsea) – £30m
The lesson: Deals can be done quick and early if there is a release clause. And this particular release clause made the former Man City trainee a very popular boy.
4) Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool) – £29.5m
Just hours after Trent Alexander-Arnold’s transfer to Real Madrid was ratified, the Reds announced that they had met the Dutch right-back’s release clause. Swift, impressive work.
5) Estevao (Palmeiras to Chelsea) – £29m rising to £52m with add-ons
Chelsea emerged at the head of a queue featuring Bayern Munich, Paris St-Germain and Manchester City for the 17-year-old winger who joins Chelsea after the Club World Cup.
6) Yan Couto (Manchester City to Borussia Dortmund) – £25m
The Brazil international has never played a game for Manchester City but that’s not unusual. The third club he joined on loan could afford to trigger an obligation to buy.
7) Nico Gonzales (Fiorentina to Juventus) – £21m rising to £25m with add-ons
The Argentine winger joined Juventus on loan last summer with an obligation to buy. So they have bought.
8) Kevin Danso (Lens to Tottenham) – £21m
There was a January panic amid injury issues, leading Spurs to agree a loan with an obligation to buy. And now he has a Europa League winner’s medal.

9) Enzo Le Fee (Roma to Sunderland) – £19.35m
The French midfielder has seen his loan spell from Roma made permanent for a club record transfer fee.
10) Dario Essugo (Sporting to Chelsea) – £18.5m
A seven-year contract has been signed by the 20-year-old Portuguese midfielder expected to act as a deputy to Moises Caicedo.
11) Arthur Vermeeren (Atletico Madrid to RB Leipzig) – £16.9m
The Spanish club did well to pocket a small profit on Vermeeren, whose loan to Germany – which triggered a permanent deal – went rather better than his year in Spain.
12) Michael Kayode (Fiorentina to Brentford) – £14.7m
Yes, Brentford have made permanent a loan move we entirely missed in January for a young Italian right-back.
13) Lloyd Kelly (Newcastle United to Juventus) – £14.5m
A year after signing for Newcastle on a free transfer and failing to get past Dan Burn and Fabian Schar, Kelly is a first-choice Juventus defender after his loan was converted into a permanent transfer.
14) Ezechiel Banzuzi (OH Leuven to RB Leipzig) – £13.5m
The German club loves a young, promising footballer and Banzuzi (a Dutch Under-21 international) is exactly that.
15) Gabriel Carvalho (Internacional to Al Qadsiah) – £13.2m
The teenager will officially complete his move to Saudi Arabia as soon as he turns 18 in August.
16) Mohamed Amoura (Union SG to Wolfsburg) – £12.7m
The German club have made their loan move permanent after a 10-goal, 12-assist Bundesliga season but they could immediately treble their money with Bayer Leverkusen and Nottingham Forest among clubs interested.
17) Carlos Alcaraz (Flamengo to Everton) – £12.64m
The Argentine midfielder signs a two-year contract after impressing on loan, with some eyebrows raised at the short length of the deal.
18) Caoimhin Kelleher (Brentford to Liverpool) – £12.5m rising to £18m
An impressive done quickly by the Bees, with the Irishman more than ready to become a first-choice goalkeeper. He replaces Mark Flekken, who has joined Bayer Leverkusen.
19) Lazar Samardzic (Udinese to Atalanta) – £12.5m
Another loan move made permanent, Samardzic is a Serbian international winger.
20) Jonathan Rowe (Norwich City to Marseille) – £12.2m
English winger who had his loan move made permanent even though he had struggled to make an impact in France.
