Premier League clubs have already spent £2.14bn during the summer transfer window, with more than two weeks still remaining before the deadline.
That total is already higher than the full summer outlay in 2024 (£1.98bn), 2022 (£1.94bn), 2021 (£1.13bn) and 2020 (£1.32bn), according to figures provided to BBC Sport by Paul Macdonald, founder of FootballTransfers.com.
Only 2023 (£2.36bn) and last summer's record £3.14bn currently sit above it.
Another record-breaking window therefore remains possible. But the more revealing story may be not simply how much Premier League clubs are spending, but where that money is going.
The financial gap between England and the rest of Europe is stark.
