The Catalans are top of the world football expenditure charts after pulling levers

Barça are officially the club who have spent the most money in this transfer window. Jules Koundé’s arrival, for €50 million +10m in variables, has taken the Blaugrana to the first position in the rankings. They signed Frank Kessie and Andreas Christensen for free. Those were the first moves they made, before some more costly ones.

Barça paid Leeds United €58 million +9m in variables for Brazilian winger Raphinha. He became the English side's record sale. A week later the Catalans paid €45 million plus €5 million in variables for Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, from Bayern Munich. Kounde is the arrival that has pushed Barça into first place.

Now they have spent €153 million fixed +24m in variables, which could reach a total of €177 million. On the other hand, they did earn €20 million for the loan of Philippe Coutinho to Aston Villa, and €3 million for Trincao’s loan.

Bayern Munich have brought in Sadio Mane (32 million), Matthijs De Ligt (67 million), Mathys Tel (20m) and Ryan Gravenberch (18.5 m). They are second on the list with €137 million spent. They are followed by Arsenal with 132 million, and Manchester City with 108 million.
