Since the summer transfer window opened in July 1, LaLiga Santander clubs have been spending freely. With about two weeks to the close of the window, things are likely to become a bit more panicked for clubs that have not made any signings.

LaLiga clubs have already spent around €1.3 billion on talent this summer, making it the second highest spending league around, only second to Premier League with €1.53 billion.

The top five signings alone; Joao Felix, Antoine Griezmann,

Eden Hazard, Frenkie de Jong and Luka Jovic – accumulate to €482.2 million.

Hazard and Jovic have been joined by Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy and Rodrygo. Next up are Atletico Madrid with their own impressive sum of 267 million euros. On top of Joao Felix, they have brought in Marcos Llorente, Renan Lodi, Kieran Trippier and Mario Hermoso, beating Barcelona’s 255 million euros in third place and fourth-placed Sevilla’s 149 million euros.
