Premier League: Biggest Summer Transfers so far

Take a look at the biggest done deals of the 2025 Summer Transfer Window for clubs in the Premier League so far.

There is less than a month to go until the much anticipated 2025/26 Premier League season finally gets underway, with the twenty best teams in the country competing to realise their ambitions for the latest top flight campaign in the history of each club.

Whilst there have been a plethora of transfers that have been made in England’s top tier so far, there have been a select few that have grabbed the headlines. This has been due to the high reputation and great ability of the player themselves, together with the incredible transfer fees paid for their services. Here, we are going to take a look at the five biggest transfers to have happened so far in the Premier League.

The majority of these moves have been made by clubs that anticipate being in this season’s title race, with clubs always seeking that advantage over their competitors in the race to get their hands on that trophy and become the latest English Champions. Reigning Champions Liverpool have been amongst the most active clubs in the 2025 Summer Transfer Window so far.

5: Matheus Cunha (Wolves to Manchester United) – £62.5 million

We will start with Matheus Cunha’s move from Wolves to fellow Premier League club Manchester United.

He also scored 2 goals in as many games in the 2024/25 FA Cup.

The transfer fee to take him to Ruben Amorim’s United is rumoured to be £62.5 million, where he has also signed a 5 year contract with an option for another year.
