A record \u00a33.1bn was spent by Premier League clubs in the summer – significantly more than in the winter window.<\/p>\n

The figure of \u00a3390m for this window isn’t hugely down on previous winters, with January always more low key than the summer as it is a notoriously difficult time for clubs to recruit effectively.<\/p>\n

It is even harder to do that on deadline day, but this one was particularly quiet, for a variety of reasons.<\/p>\n

The big outlay last summer will be one, while another could relate to a new system of Financial Fair Play (FFP) that will come in from next season.<\/a><\/p>\n

Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) will replace Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), meaning overall squad costs in the Premier League from 2026-27 will have to be limited to 85% of a club’s revenue.<\/p>\n

“There’s always going to be a degree of anxiety as to keeping your financial house in order ahead of a far more active market [the summer window],” Paul Macdonald of FootballTransfers.com said.<\/p>\n

“Clubs wanted to ensure they were in a compliant position rather than having an additional headache of being hamstrung under the new rules.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
