Liverpool and MU dominate the top 5 most expensive transfers in the summer of 2025

The Premier League's summer transfer market this year has witnessed clubs splurging like never before, especially focusing on the two major teams, Liverpool and Manchester United.

The 2025 Premier League summer transfer window has become almost an exclusive arena for Liverpool and Manchester United, as both clubs occupy all top 5 most costly signings. From The Kop’s blockbuster deals to the Red Devils’ strong reinforcements, this transfer season highlights a fierce financial battle between these two English football powerhouses.

The biggest highlight belongs to Liverpool, who spent 125 million Euros to acquire Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, making the German star the most expensive signing in both the club's and Premier League's history. Nicknamed Germany’s “golden boy,” Wirtz is expected to be a key figure in the new era under coach Arne Slot.

Not stopping there, Liverpool made a second major signing with Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt for a total fee of 95 million Euros. The French striker is anticipated to ignite the attack line, forming a formidable striking partnership with Wirtz at Anfield.

Not to be outdone, Man Utd made a bold move by signing Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for a total value of 85 million Euros. This key transfer provides coach Amorim with a modern striker who combines speed with versatile finishing skills.

Simultaneously, the Red Devils further strengthened their offense by signing Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford for 75 million Euros and Matheus Cunha from Wolves for 74 million Euros. This trio of newcomers promises to reshape Man Utd’s attack after a disappointing 2024/25 season.

Liverpool and Man Utd occupying the entire top 5 most expensive transfers indicates the Premier League is entering an era of unprecedented spending. With numerous quality new signings, the 2025/26 title race promises to be thrilling right from the first matches.
