We are all aware of the fact that Premier League is arguably the most competitive league in the world and over the years it has also become the richest league. Not only do the Big 6 teams spend lavishly in the transfer windows but the Villas and the Brightons have also shown that they're not shy of making big money signings and lure marquee players in their team. In this chapter, we take a look at the top 10 done deals in the transfer window until now, in the month of June and assess the signings.

Kai Havertz

The German international joined the Gunners for £65m in a long term deal from Arsenal's London rivals, Chelsea. The 24-year-old was Arsenal's first signing in the summer and it was one of those "done deals" which no one expected to happen so quickly but after the personal terms were agreed it looked inevitable.

Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal manager rates the former Chelsea player highly. He thinks that Havertz is a player of top quality who has great versatility and would strengthen Arsenal's midfield even more.

Havertz could be critical in Arsenal's midfield after Xhaka's departure, as reported by many journalists. He's expected to do well after gathering 3-years of Premier League experience in the Chelsea shirt but would be interesting to see what Arteta does with him.

Alexis Mac Allister

The World Cup winner joined Liverpool for a mere £35m. He has signed a five-year contract and is Liverpool's first signing of the season. The amount at which Liverpool signed him, in today's transfer market, is considered as an absolute bargain.

After Wijnaldum left for PSG last summer, and with Henderson and Milner's growing age, Liverpool was expected to buy a midfielder in the summer and Mac Allister looked like a perfect fit for them.

The Argentine has been very effective for Brighton and Kloop expect him to do the same at Liverpool as well. He has great ball carrying ability and is also known for his progressive runs turning defence into attack. At times, if Salah steps down from taking a penalty he could be the one to step up because he's great from the spot too.

James Maddison

Spurs have signed English midfielder in the name of James Maddison for £40m on five-year contract from Leicester City. Maddison has been immense for the foxes and with them getting relegated last season, his departure was almost inevitable.

Newcastle United was also in the race for signing of the midfielder but Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham's manager convinced Maddison otherwise. Tottenham lacked a playmaker in the midfield for quite some years now and looks like they've finally got one since Eriksen's departure.

Harry Kane and the other forwards could benefit a lot from this signing as Maddison could spot a run from a distance. He's also good on free kicks and has other qualities of a creative midfielder. He has been Premier League proven and could do really well in Spurs.

Christopher Nkunku

Chelsea have triggered the release clause of £52m for Christopher Nkunku. He has joined the Blues for six years and it was negotiated beforehand only, in the January transfer window. So it was not as much of a surprise like others we could all see it coming but still it is one of the top 10 done deals because of the impact he's expected to have at Stamford Bridge.

Nkunku is a player who can play as a striker, which is an absolute need for Chelsea but mainly is a second striker or playes behind the striker, he's more efficient and effective from there. He's more like a classic No. 10 player or at least used to play in that position for RB Leipzig.

He has scored 16 goals in 25 Bundesliga appearances for the German side and has also helped them in winning the DFB-Pokal trophy. Chelsea would need him to deliver as they're on the rise again after last season's embarrassing performance.

Dejan Kulusevski

The next player on the list of top 10 done deals is the Swedish winger who initially joined Tottenham on an 18-month loan from Juventus in January 2022, with an option to buy for £29.2m. He has now signed a five-year deal with his loan spell set to end this summer, for a reduced fee of £25m. He was crucial in Tottenham's 2022 UCL qualification but In 2023 season he was not that effective for the team.

He scored 7 times in his 57 appearances for Tottenham and would like to improve that goal ratio now that he is set to stay for a long time. His link up play with Kane and Son was eye-catching but it happened so rarely it wasn't mentioned a lot.

Ange Postecoglou would like to make that link up play happen more often as Tottenham has struggled to score goals in the last season under Antonio Conte. Kulusevski would like to make use of that brilliant left foot of his and score some goals in the upcoming season as he's crucial for the team.

Mateo Kovacic

After losing their captain, Ilkay Gündogan to Barcelona, Manchester City were in search of a new No. 8 and they've found Mateo Kovacic to fill that void. He signed the Cityzens for £25m plus £5m add-ons.

The former Real Madrid player has been playing in the Stamford Bridge for 5 years since 2018 and was instrumental in their success during the years. He has won 4 major trophies for the blues which includes a Champions league where Chelsea defeated Guardiola's Manchester City only.

Kovacic has been given the no. 8 jersey which specify that he's gonna play in his usual box to box midfield position and try to be effective from there. He's just better defensively than Gundogan and would like to improve and add other attributes too in order to fill in his shoes.

Nicolas Jackson

Chelsea has signed a Senegalese striker in the name of Nicolas Jackson. The Villarreal player has joined the Blues for slightly more than his £30.1m release clause in exchange for more favourable payment terms.

Chelsea have been desperate for a striker and the Senegal international has been one of La Liga's finest young talents last season. He has scored 12 goals in 26 games for the Spanish side and became one of Laliga's breakout star. In the past years Chelsea have not been a great home for their striker but Jackson would like to break that curse. If Chelsea doesn't sign any more strikers, which is their priority this summer Jackson could line up alongside Christopher Nkunku.

Youri Tielemans

Another Leicester City player, who was also expected to leave the club because of their relegation from the Premier League has left. His contract with the Foxes has also ended so he signed for Aston Villa as a free agent.

The Belgium international is known for his long shots from outside the box which brought him many glory and success in the past. He's also a very good defensive midfielder who occasionally goes forward. Unai Emery, the Aston Villa manager could use him alongside Douglas Luiz and form a nice pairing with him.

Joao Pedro

The next player in the list of top 10 deal deals is the Brazilian forward, who was signed by Brighton for a club record fee of just under £30m. Pedro used to play for the Championship side, Watford and has been one of the standout performers there in the last season.

The 21-year-old has scored 11 goals in 35 appearances last season which might not sound that impressive but his overall impact on the team was great. The Seagulls have broke the bank for the striker so he's not expected to be a bench warmer in De Zerbi's side. He is a young talent and have the potential of becoming one of the emerging players in the Premier League.

Jefferson Lerma

The Colombia international has signed a three-year contract for Crystal Palace for free as his Bournemouth contract was set to expire this season. He has been impressive for Bournemouth last season and helped them not get relegated. He started 35 Premier League appearances and also bagged 5 goals as a midfield player.

Palace are going to lose two midfielders this summer with club captain Luka Milivojevic and James McArthur as their contract is set to expire at the end of June. So Jefferson could come in and fill that void and would be also offering his Premier League experience.

Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has announced his decision to leave the club at the end of the 2024-25 season. The Belgian midfield maestro joined the Blue side of Manchester in 2015 and went on to mark a glittering 10-year career with the club, winning numerous personal and team accolades.

Pedri, the young FC Barcelona midfielder, has drawn serious interest from the reigning Premier League champions, Manchester City, who are reportedly ready to offer a whopping €100 million for the Spanish midfielder.

According to El Nacional, former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola, who is currently at the helm of Man City, has conveyed his interest to the Club's upper echelons to rope in the 22-year-old midfielder.

Man City are prepared to bid €100 million for Pedri

Pedri has been enjoying a great season at FC Barcelona, having scored 5 goals and provided 7 assists in 44 appearances for the Catalan giants this season. However, his contribution goes beyond the goal involvements, which shows why he has won eight Man of the Match awards in his last ten games for the club.

The 22-year-old midfielder is currently on a mega five-year contract with Barcelona that runs until June 2030. Pedri's contract also includes a release clause set at €1 billion, implying his utmost importance in building the long-term planning of FC Barcelona. 

Manchester City see Pedri as the ideal midfield addition, but Barcelona have no plans to sell the 22-year-old. pic.twitter.com/6ECEUQ9AR6

— Transfer News (@TransfersLlVE) March 30, 2025

However, Pedri is currently valued at €120 million, according to transfermarkt, which is significantly higher than what Manchester City are keen to offer.

The English club has reportedly assessed all the financial aspects and feasibilities of the bid and are prepared to put forward a €100 million transfer fee offer to Barcelona.

Despite the reports, Pedri has not shown any interest in leaving the Blaugrana colours since joining the club from Las Palmas in September 2019, whereas Barcelona will also not be very keen to let Pedri leave.

With the potential departure of key midfielder Kevin De Bruyne said to be imminent, Pep Guardiola is looking to rejuvenate his midfield structure while keeping an eye on Pedri. Nico Gonzalez, another former Barcelona midfielder, was acquired by Man City in February 2025.

If Carlo Ancelotti decides to accept the Brazilian position, Real Madrid will be working on hiring Jurgen Klopp, who might make a spectacular comeback to management. Among Jurgen Klopp's greatest achievements was leading Liverpool to the Premier League and a UEFA Champions League title. He stepped down as manager after the 2023-24 season. He also led Borussia Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles.

Jurgen Klopp is currently working as a leader of global soccer for the Red Bull group, Klopp stated that he would not manage another English club and might be he will not be interested with management forever. However, he could choose to coach a national team or take a job.

Either of those options might be presented soon to him. According to TRBFootball, Klopp is reportedly one of the options for Brazil's national team head coach after Dorival Junior's dismissal. However, Carlo Ancelotti is also Brazil's top pick, according to different reports, Brazil's national football management has even begun negotiations with him.

— LFC Transfer Room (@LFCTransferRoom) March 29, 2025

According to the reports, Klopp is one of the candidates Real Madrid is working on to replace their manager if Carlo Ancelotti departs. Los Blancos are looking for a manager who has worked with a mix of young players and superstars and the former Liverpool manager most definitely possesses that.

As Real Madrid is one of the biggest clubs in the world, there would undoubtedly be some appeal if Klopp were to return to club management. Xabi Alonso, a former Real Madrid and Liverpool player is reportedly Los Blancos' preferred candidate.

 There is no assurance that he would accept the position at Real Madrid if it were offered, though, as he declined to leave his position at Bayer Leverkusen when the Liverpool position became available last year. That appears to be the case with Jurgen Klopp as well. But there is still a chance to connect with his former star Trent Alexander Arnold, who is rumored to be very close to joining Real Madrid.

Laliga clubs regularly own some of the biggest names in the world of football. Many of their top stars have come from abroad, often moving from the Premier League to La Liga. However, some superstars were not so successful in Laliga after the transfers. 
Trent Alexander Arnold is more likely to be the next biggest football transfer from the Premier League to Laliga. 
Discover the 10 biggest football transfers from the Premier League to Laliga, featuring players like Eden Hazard, and Phillipe Coutinho and legends like Luis Suarez and Cristiano Ronaldo.

10 biggest football transfers from Premier League to La Liga:  

10. Conor Gallagher | Chelsea to Atletico Madrid | €35 million:

Conor Gallagher was one of the key players for Chelsea in his final season. He is a Chelsea academy player, despite being an academy graduate of Chelsea, the Blues sold him to the Laliga side Atletico Madrid for €35 million and became one of the players with the biggest football transfers from the Premier League to La Liga.

He has seemed a perfect fit for Diego Simeone’s managed side, though he has rotated with other midfielders. Gallagher scored an important Champions League goal against Real Madrid, during a round of 16 match in which Atletico was heartbreakingly beaten on penalties.

9. Ferran Torres | Manchester City to FC Barcelona | €46 million:

FC Barcelona paid €46 million to Ferran Torres from Manchester City in 2022. But he was never able to prove his worth in FC Barcelona, he was one of the failed yet one the biggest transfers from the Premier League to Laliga.

The winger had never scored more than 10 goals in a single campaign for the La Liga giants. Torres played 145 games at Barcelona and has started almost exactly half (73), which shows the coaches he has played under have been aware that he cannot impact games.

8. Raphinha | Leeds United to FC Barcelona | €50 million:

Raphinha was not a major signing for FC Barcelona, yet among the biggest football transfers from the Premier League to La Liga. In the first season, Raphinha scored 14 goals and contributed in 15 goals. However, in the 2024/25 season, Raphinha found his lost form under Hansi Flick as he scored 27 goals and delivered 20 assists. Now the Brazilian winger is one of the players who is getting Ballon d'Or shouts in 2025.

7. Diego Costa | Chelsea to Atletico Madrid | €57 million:

Costa played for Atletico Madrid on a few different occasions. He had already left once before coming back in 2010 by the time he moved to Chelsea in 2014, and four years later, he was back, with Atletico Madrid paying €57 million for him.

Diego Costa was one of the players also among the biggest football transfers from the Premier League to La Liga. In his final season before leaving for the Premier League, Costa scored 36 goals, and in three seasons at Stamford Bridge, he scored 59 goals and 21 assists. The Spanish forward 81 games in four seasons after his return but scored just 19 goals in that time.

6. Luis Suarez | Liverpool to FC Barcelona | €75 million:

Barcelona had seen enough from Suarez in just two and a half seasons at Liverpool to sign him for an initially reported fee of £75million. That he’d move onto bigger things was unsurprising after notching 31 goals and 13 assists in his final season in the Premier League.

Luis Suarez was one of the key players also among the biggest football transfers from the Premier League to La Liga. The Uruguayan forward scored 195 goals and assisted 113 in 283 games, in his second season at Barca, scoring a remarkable 40 La Liga goals, along with 18 assists. Across all competitions that season, Suarez scored 54 goals and assisted 24.

5. Julian Alvarez | Manchester City to Atletico Madrid | €80 million:

One of the most recent players to the biggest football transfers from the Premier League to La Liga, Julian Alvarez moved to Manchester City for Atletico Madrid in the summer transfer window of the 2024 season. He already has 23 goals and five assists this season, including eight direct goal contributions in the Champions League. So far, the move looks a positive one for Alvarez.

4. Cristiano Ronaldo | Manchester United to Real Madrid | €80 million:

Cristiano Ronaldo was undoubtedly the best move from the Premier League to La Liga in history. He broke new ground with a transfer worth approximately £80million from Manchester United. The previous world-record transfer was Zinedine Zidane to Real Madrid, which had stood for eight years.

Ronaldo was one of the most devastating forwards in the world for his entire spell at Real Madrid, scoring 450 goals and assisting 131 in 438 games. Ronaldo is the most successful and among the biggest football transfers from the Premier League to La Liga. He won the Ballon d’Or in 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017 while he was a Real Madrid player.

3. Gareth Bale | Tottenham Hotspurs to Real Madrid | €85 million:

At the time of his transfer to Real Madrid for approximately £85million, Bale’s was a world-record move. Gareth Bale was among the biggest football transfers from the Premier League to La Liga.  

Bale would win five Champions Leagues with Real, as well as three La Liga titles, among many other honors. Throughout seven seasons, he scored 106 goals and assisted 67 times.

2. Eden Hazard | Chelsea to Real Madrid | €130 million:

Eden Hazard was one of the failed transfers yet and second-placed in the list of the biggest football transfers from the Premier League to La Liga. That he never played 20 La Liga games in a single season, showed how much Hazard struggled, and he retired at just 32 years of age, having played just 10 games in his final season. The Belgian failed to match that single-season total in 76 games across his entire Real Madrid career.

1. Phillipe Coutinho | Liverpool to FC Barcelona | €142 million:

The biggest football transfer from the Premier League to La Liga, Barcelona spent an astonishing £142million to sign the midfielder from Liverpool. At Liverpool, he had become an iconic figure, having a direct hand in 97 goals in 201 games.

 After 13 direct goal contributions in his first 18 La Liga games, Coutinho slowed with only seven contributions in the 32 games he played in the season. The Brazilian left for Aston Villa, after only 39 goal contributions in 106 games at Barcelona.
