The English Premier League showed its financial strength and once again, for another summer, the league that spent the most signings, placing seven footballers in the most expensive in the 2022-23 summer market. Among the members of this Top-10, only raphinha (Barcelona), De Ligt (Bayern Munich) and Tchouameni (Real Madrid) will play away from the islands next season.
10
Richarlison and Raphinha (25 years old)
€58 million
The two Brazilian attackers were key to either Everton or Leeds United being relegated to the Championship last year and this summer they decided to take their careers a step further by signing for Tottenham and FC Barcelona.
9
Erling Haland (22 years old)
€60 million
Wanted by all the greats of the old continent, the Norwegian ended up swapping Dortmund for Manchester in an operation worth 100 million euros, counting the commissions to the father of the ‘killer’ and his agents.
8
Marc Cucurella (24 years old)
€65.3 million
One year in the Premier League was enough for Chelsea to secure the services of winger Alella, who was named Brighton’s best player last season.
7
Matthijs de Ligt (23 years old)
€67 million
At just 23 years old, the Dutch centre-back has already turned over 150 million euros in transfers. The 67 that Bayern Munich paid this summer and the 85.5 that Juventus paid in 2019 to get him away from Ajax.
6
Alexander Isaac (22 years old)
€70 million
In a lightning strike, Newcastle United snapped up the services of the Swedish international, making him the most expensive signing in ‘magpie’ history and the highest sale ever made by Real Sociedad.
5
Casemiro (30 years old)
€70.65 million
After ten years, 336 games and 18 titles, including five Champions Leagues, the ‘CKM’ anchor left Chamartín to strengthen the spinal cord of a directionless United.
4
Darwin Nunez (23 years old)
€75 million
Liverpool left 75 million euros for the Uruguayan striker to offset the impact of Haaland’s signing for Manchester City, but this mission seems more complicated for the ‘reds’ and the former Benfica player.
3
Aurelien Tchouameni (22 years old)
€80 million
Signed by Real Madrid with the intention of growing with Casemiro, the Brazilian’s departure forces the former Monaco midfielder to accelerate his learning process. There is a lot of quality to it.
two
Wesley Fofana (21 years old)
€80.4 million
The terrible injury that he suffered just ten days before the start of the 2021-22 season did not stop the development of the very young French central defender, who in just two years left a capital gain of more than 45 ‘kilo’ to Leicester City .
1
Anthony (22 years old)
€95 million
The business that Ajax Amsterdam did this summer with Manchester United was enormous. After selling the Argentine Lisandro Martínez for 57 million euros, the Dutch team took almost 100 kilos from the Red Devils for the excellent Brazilian winger.
