Summary: Manchester City - Crystal Palace 2:4 (Erling Holland's hat trick) (Sport1)

If there is anything that has been proven in the last few days, it is that world football has already left far behind the uncertainty that plagued the industry at the height of the Corona epidemic.

The transfer window in most of the top leagues closed last night (Thursday), and the amounts that were "wasted" seem almost imaginary, especially in one league: the Premier League.

The teams of the English league spent no less than 1.9 billion pounds in total this summer, the league's all-time record (the previous record was recorded in the summer of 2017 - 1.4 billion pounds. After two seasons in which the corona virus made the market more cautious and calculated, the barriers were broken. In total, the English league teams bought players for more money than La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga teams combined (!).Chelsea, who bought seven new players including Wesley Popana for 80 million euros, Mark Kokoria for 65 million, Raheem Sterling for 56 and Kalidou Koulibaly at 38 million, was the chief “spender.” She spent more money on acquisitions than any other English team ever in a single window.

The big money is in England.

Manchester United also paid record sums for the club, while lowly Nottingham Forest added more players in one window than any other team in history.

In the "Daily Mail" they tried to analyze the transfer amounts paid this summer, explaining that this is a direct result of the addition of new owners with particularly deep pockets, and claimed that "the profits that the teams receive from the English league, make the investments relatively worthwhile. Don't be surprised if the transfer record is broken in the summer as well the next".
