The 2026 summer window has produced some of the biggest transfer fees in Premier League history. With the new season kicking off on August 21, here’s a rundown of the most significant confirmed deals so far.
The marquee moves
- Sandro Tonali → Tottenham — £100m. The headline deal of the window. Tottenham made the Italian midfielder their statement signing in a massive nine-figure move from Newcastle.
- Morgan Rogers → Chelsea — £117m. The highest fee of the window so far, as Chelsea continued their lavish spending to land the Aston Villa forward.
- Anthony Gordon → Barcelona — £60.5m. The England winger secured his long-rumoured move to Catalonia, departing Newcastle.
- Marc Cucurella → Real Madrid — £51.8m. The left-back completes a high-profile switch to the Bernabéu, with Chelsea moving quickly for a replacement.
Other notable confirmed deals
- James Trafford → Leeds — £40m. The goalkeeper joins as Leeds’ new No.1 after leaving Manchester City.
- Rasmus Hojlund → Napoli — £38m. The striker departs Manchester United for Serie A.
- Mateus Fernandes → Tottenham — £85m. Another big Tottenham outlay, bringing the midfielder in from West Ham.
- Jan Paul van Hecke → Brighton — £52m. Tottenham’s loss, Brighton’s gain, as the defender moves the other way.
The pattern
A few themes stand out. Tottenham and Chelsea have been the window’s biggest spenders, while Newcastle have cashed in, offloading Tonali and Gordon for over £160m combined. Manchester City, meanwhile, have seen Bernardo Silva (Real Madrid, free) and John Stones (Inter, free) depart while they rebuild.
With deadline day still to come, there’s every chance this list grows further — and given the fees already flying around, don’t rule out more nine-figure deals before the window shuts.
