After a number of signings this summer,
Manchester United now have the most expensive
squad ever in the Premier League. The Red Devils had earlier signed Ander Herrera,
Luke Shaw and Marco Rojo – a combined fee
of £72m. And with the recent purchase of Angel Di Maria for £59.7m, they have spent approximately £132m so far in the transfer window. They had already
spent £37.1m on Juan Mata in January. All these acquisitions mean that United’s squad
now costs £401.2m – much more than their
immediate rivals Manchester City, who have often
been accused in the past of spending a lot of
money to assemble their squad. Manchester City themselves spent close to £368m
to assemble their title winning squad last season.
their current squad is currently worth about
£344m. Chelsea are third after singing La Liga stars Cesc
Fabregas ans Diego Costa this summer and their
current squad cost almost £342m. 5 most expensive squads in the Premier League so far With four days left in the summer transfer window,
it remains to be seen if the order of this list will
change come 23:00 on September 1 – transfer
deadline day. This list does not take into account the player sales.
It only counts the transfer fee paid for all the players in the squad and not net spending. MOST EXPENSIVE SQUAD IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE SO FAR # TEAM SQUAD COST 1 Manchester United £401millon 2 Manchester City £344million 3 Chelsea £341million 4 Liverpool £246million 5 Arsenal £209million
