Top 10 most expensive January 2024 transfers
It was an incredibly quiet January transfer window with very few clubs strengthening their squads with big-money signings. The lack of spending was particularly noticeable amongst English Premier League clubs with spending down significantly on previous seasons. Premier League clubs spent €121 million this January, down 85% from 2023 (€843m) and 65% from 2022 (€345m).
The biggest factor behind the huge decrease in spending is the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules - which are similar to UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regulations. Remarkably, clubs in Ligue 1 in France (€190.9m) and Série A in Brazil (€147m) outspend English top-flight clubs this January, which emphasises how restricted clubs were in their ability to spend. Of the traditional ‘big six’ clubs in England, only Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City completed a permanent senior signing with Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea - the biggest spenders last January - failing to add to their squads. While it wasn’t the most exciting window, some big deals still went through and we’ve compiled the top 10 most expensive transfers of January 2024.
