Biggest Transfers of 2026/27: The 2026/27 transfer window has already produced some eye-catching deals, with Premier League clubs once again responsible for several of the biggest fees in world football.
From Morgan Rogers’ record-breaking move to Chelsea to Elliot Anderson’s huge transfer to Manchester City, clubs have spent heavily to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season.
Arsenal have also made one of the major investments of the summer, bringing in Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle United for a reported £75 million. With the transfer window still open, the list of the biggest deals could change before deadline day.
Here is a look at the biggest transfers of the 2026/27 season so far.
1. Morgan Rogers – £117 Million
Aston Villa → Chelsea
Morgan Rogers currently sits at the top of the list after completing a £117 million move from Aston Villa to Chelsea.
The England international became Chelsea’s record signing and the most expensive British player at the time of the transfer. Rogers agreed a long-term contract at Stamford Bridge after Chelsea moved ahead of Arsenal in the race for his signature.
The transfer also represented a huge financial return for Aston Villa after Rogers’ rapid development at the club.
2. Elliot Anderson – £116 Million
Nottingham Forest → Manchester City
Manchester City made one of the biggest moves of the window by signing Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for a reported £116 million.
The midfielder’s transfer briefly stood as the biggest deal of the summer before Rogers moved to Chelsea for £117 million.
Anderson’s arrival underlines City’s willingness to invest heavily in players they believe can strengthen their squad for the long term.
3. Yan Diomande – £105 Million
RB Leipzig → Real Madrid
Real Madrid have also been involved in one of the window’s biggest deals with the reported £105 million move for Yan Diomande.
The transfer places the young attacker among the most expensive players of the current window and highlights Real Madrid’s continued focus on bringing in high-level young talent.
Tottenham completed one of the most expensive midfield transfers of the summer by signing Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United.
The initial fee was reported at £92.5 million, with potential add-ons capable of taking the overall package higher. Tonali agreed a six-year contract after being convinced by Tottenham’s project under Roberto De Zerbi.
The Italian midfielder’s move represents a major statement from Spurs as they look to build a stronger squad.
5. Bruno Guimarães – £75 Million
Newcastle United → Arsenal
Arsenal supporters have plenty of reason to follow this list because Bruno Guimarães is one of the biggest signings of the summer.
The Brazilian midfielder joined Arsenal from Newcastle United for a reported £75 million. His arrival represents a significant investment from the Gunners and adds another high-quality option to Mikel Arteta’s midfield.
The transfer is particularly notable because Guimarães had been a key player for Newcastle before making the move to North London. Current reporting has described the £75 million deal as one of Arsenal’s major investments of the Arteta era.
For Arsenal, the signing could prove important as the club prepares for another demanding campaign across multiple competitions.
6. Anthony Gordon – £70 Million
Newcastle United → Barcelona
Anthony Gordon is also among the major transfers of the 2026/27 window after his move away from Newcastle.
The England international has attracted significant attention throughout his career because of his pace and ability to operate in attacking areas.
A move to Barcelona would represent another major step in his career and add a Premier League-tested option to the Catalan club’s attacking group.
7. Jérémy Jacquet – £55 Million
Rennes → Liverpool
Liverpool have continued to invest in their squad with the signing of French defender Jérémy Jacquet.
The deal has been reported at around £55 million, putting the centre-back among the more expensive defensive transfers of the window.
Liverpool’s decision to invest heavily in Jacquet reflects their interest in building for the future while maintaining a competitive squad.
8. Marc Cucurella – £51.7 Million
Chelsea → Real Madrid
Real Madrid have also strengthened their options with the reported signing of Marc Cucurella from Chelsea.
The Spanish full-back has Premier League experience and brings versatility to the defensive side of the squad.
His move also adds another significant outgoing transfer to Chelsea’s busy summer window.
9. Maxence Lacroix – £52 Million
Crystal Palace → Chelsea
Chelsea have been extremely active in the transfer market, and Maxence Lacroix is another major addition to their squad.
The French defender moved from Crystal Palace in a deal reported at around £52 million. Reports indicated that Chelsea were finalising the transfer in July.
Lacroix gives Chelsea another experienced option in central defence as the club continues to reshape its squad.
10. Jan Paul van Hecke – £52 Million
Brighton → Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham also spent heavily on defensive reinforcements with the signing of Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton.
The Netherlands international joined Spurs for £52 million and reunited with manager Roberto De Zerbi, having previously worked with him at Brighton.
The deal is another example of Tottenham making significant investments in their defence during the summer.
11. James Trafford – £40 Million
Manchester City → Leeds United
Leeds United completed a club-record deal for goalkeeper James Trafford after agreeing a £40 million fee plus potential add-ons with Manchester City.
Trafford’s move gives Leeds a new first-choice goalkeeping option and represents a major investment in the position.
The goalkeeper’s transfer rounds off this list of the biggest deals currently dominating the 2026/27 window.
Arsenal’s £75m Move Stands Out
For Arsenal fans, Bruno Guimarães is the most important name on this list.
The £75 million investment places the Brazilian comfortably among the biggest transfers of the summer and demonstrates the level of spending required to compete at the top of the Premier League.
Arsenal’s business will also be closely watched for the remainder of the transfer window, particularly if the club continues looking for defensive reinforcements.
The Transfer Window Is Not Finished
The current list should not be considered final.
With the transfer window still open, more major deals could be completed before deadline day. Clubs that have already spent heavily could make further moves, while late negotiations can sometimes produce unexpected record-breaking transfers.
That means the current top 11 could look very different by the time the window closes.
For now, though, Morgan Rogers’ £117 million move to Chelsea sits at the top, followed closely by Elliot Anderson’s £116 million switch to Manchester City.
And with Arsenal’s £75 million signing of Bruno Guimarães also among the biggest deals, the Gunners have a clear presence on the list.
This article will be updated when major confirmed transfers change the current ranking.
