Milan, 2 Sept. (LaPresse) – The record-breaking transfer campaign by English clubs reached its peak with Manchester City’s signing of midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea for £125 million (approximately €145 million). The Argentine star has thus become one of the most expensive players in history. The deal for Fernandez was the biggest of this summer’s transfer window, during which Premier League clubs spent a total of around 4.7 billion pounds (approximately 5.5 billion euros, ed.). Huge deals for domestic and international television rights give clubs unprecedented purchasing power. City have confirmed the signing of winger Iliman Ndiaye for €70 million and have loaned Jack Grealish to Everton. The club’s spending on new players alone during this transfer window exceeds €518 million.
