Transfer effect

Confirmed transfer activity translated into spending-room impact. A transfer fee is normally spread across the player's contract as an annual transfer-fee cost; wages, signing fees, agent fees, loans and sales then change the live squad-cost position. Fees are reported figures where the source gives one; undisclosed fees are labelled and modelled with a PSRwatch estimate that never counts as income.

Signings and loans in

£145m of reported fees, plus 4 undisclosed.

Sales and loans out

£47m of reported fees, plus 2 undisclosed.

Annual squad-cost change

£97m

+11.2 percentage points of squad-cost ratio at £860m of football income.

Book profit on sales

£62m

Counts towards football income as the League's three-year average, not in full this season.

~ Undisclosed fees use a PSRwatch modelling estimate to derive squad-cost figures. Undisclosed or estimated sale fees are not counted as real football income until reported or filed.

Source pages are the provider's club-season transfer pages (specialist database, tier 3). Contract lengths marked “assumed” use a typical length for the move type because the source did not report one.

PSRwatch is independent. Figures are unofficial estimates from public filings, transfer data and PSRwatch modelling. They are not endorsed by the Premier League, EFL, UEFA or any club.
