The Premier League transfer window has seen an unprecedented spending spree, with clubs collectively spending £400m in an unusual two-part format to accommodate the FIFA Club World Cup. This summer, only Manchester City and Chelsea are participating in the tournament, which has allowed for a split window; the second phase resumes on June 16. Chelsea leads the charge in spending, investing £89.5m on new talent, while Manchester United made headlines with a significant £62.5m acquisition.
