Although the world record set by Bale last summer 100 million dollars move to Real Madrid from Spurs still stands,we have seen the 80 million barrier broken twice by the two Spanish giants (Real and Barcelona).The British transfer overall record has been shattered with reports suggesting that the English clubs have spent over a billion euros this summer.
Starting with the English clubs,1 billion euros spent in a single transfer window sounds astonishing.Manchester United having a mass share of 200 million euros in it with recruitment of 7 players.It is also now the highest spent amount by a single club in Premier league in a single window.Chelsea,Liverpool and Arsenal follow them in spendings.
In Spain,we have got the most expensive transfer this summer as Luis Suarez joins Barcelona at a reported fee of 88 million euros.Barcelona have spend this summer total of 165 million euros as they will be banned from transfers in January.Their local rivals Real Madrid got the second most expensive transfer in the form of James Rodriguez the World Cup Golden Boot winner.
There were many more signings this summer,and now La Liga and Serie A clubs are ready to fight the Premier league clubs on financial norms
