Top 10 Player Transfers During the 2024 Summer Transfer Window in Football

September is here, which means that the world’s top football leagues are back. After the exciting EURO 2024 and the Paris Olympics, it’s time to focus on the biggest football competitions. Speaking of the devil, all of them went through the 2024 summer transfer window, and some teams made a lot of expensive signings.

While on the topic of transfers, Nostrabet.com revealed that some clubs have spent a lot more money than others to get new players. Atletico Madrid is a perfect example because the Spanish Club spent the largest amount of all to get Julian Alvarez. “Atletico is just one example because other big clubs also spend a lot. Even though this is not one of the record-breaking transfer windows, we saw some interesting moves, so it’s time to review them”, said Kristiyan from NB.

By the looks of it, the 2024/2025 football season will be more than interesting. We will cover a lot more things in the future, but now it’s important to go through the top 10 transfers that took place in the 2024 summer transfer window.

Julian Alvarez – £64M

If we exclude the transfer of Kylian Mbappe (we will talk more about him later), Julian Alvarez became the most notable signing following the 2024 summer transfer window. After playing for Manchester City for two seasons and winning tons of trophies, he decided to move. As a result, Julian Alvarez is now a part of Atletico Madrid.

 

It goes without saying that this will be a solid addition to Atletico Madrid’s squad. This transfer is also important for La Liga because the competition has another star player after Mbappe’s arrival.

As for Julian Alvarez, the player became very popular after the Qatar 2022 World Cup. In fact, he became the first player in the world to win a treble, as well as the FIFA World Cup. The 24-year-old player was a part of River Plate before joining Manchester City, where he played 67 games.

Dominic Solanke – £55M

The second place for the most expensive transfer after the 2024 summer transfer window goes to Dominic Solanke. The latter moved from Bournemouth to Tottenham Hotspur for a total of £55M.

What’s interesting about Solanke is that he scored 72 goals for his former club before moving to Tottenham. Also, the player was a part of Liverpool’s team when the squad won the Premier League a few years ago.

The striker will have an important role in Tottenham because he will try to fill in Harry Kane’s role. As you probably know, the latter moved to Germany a year ago, and Tottenham has been trying to find a suitable replacement since then.

Leny Yoro – £52M

Among the transfers that definitely surprised many people is Leny Yoro’s move to Manchester United. The Red Devils paid around £52 to Lille to get Yoro’s signature, which means that the player will strengthen United’s defense.

Leny Yoro was linked to many big European football clubs this summer. In fact, people expected him to join Real Madrid, but it seems like Manchester United made a better offer.

Interestingly, Yoro is just 18 years old, and many experts think he is among the best prospects in the world. The English Premier League is definitely a step up for the young star, so it will be interesting to see his future development.

Pedro Neto – £51M

The next intriguing transfer also took place in the English Premier League. Chelsea decided to sign Pedro Neto, the Portuguese forward who spent six seasons with the Wolves. He joined the English team in 2024 and played 111 matches for the club.

Pedro Neto already made his debut for Chelsea, but it was not memorable because his club lost to Manchester City. Fans will keep an eye on the new winger because Chelsea definitely needs a “boost” to achieve better results. As for the transfer amount, The Blues paid around £51M.

Joao Neves – £50M

Following Mbappe’s departure from Paris Saint-Germain, the latter had to find someone to fill in his spot. By the looks of it, Joao Neves will be the name everyone will follow in the 2024/25 season.

The 19-year-old Portuguese player is widely regarded as one of the most promising players right now. In fact, PSG’s president even said that he is Portugal’s most talented player.

Speaking of PSG, the club paid Benfica close to £50 to get Neves’s signature. Fans are eager to see if he will live up to the hype, but one thing is certain – Neves has to step up his game.

Moussa Diaby – £50M

It’s been a while since a big player from Europe moved to Saudi Arabia to play football. A lot of footballers followed Cristiano Ronaldo a few years ago, and the most recent addition to the squad is Moussa Diaby.

People expected Diaby to stay in the English Premier League longer after joining Aston Villa last year. However, the French player decided to move to the Saudi Pro League and join Al-Ittihad.

What’s interesting is that Al-Ittihad did not have to pay more than Aston Villa to get the player’s signature. The club from the EPL paid £51.9M last year, but Diaby did not impress that much, so Villa decided to part ways with him.

Amadou Onana – £50M

Aston Villa made an interesting decision after parting ways with Diaby because the club signed Amadou Onana from Everton. Villa paid £50m for the defensive midfielder, who spent close to 2 years with Everton.

The 23-year-old player from Belgium had a fairly good season in the English Premier League. He played 63 matches for Everton and scored 3 goals. Before that, Onana played for Lille, Hamburger SV, and TSG Hoffenheim II.

Dani Olmo – £47.2M

Barcelona is usually always involved in at least one big transfer, so we’re not surprised to see the team on the list. The Spanish powerhouses signed Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig after paying close to £47.2M.

If you haven’t followed the football world last year, Olmo had a very important role for his team and his country. In fact, a lot of people believe he is among the main reasons for Spain’s success at EURO 2024.

After spending 4 years in Leipzig, the 26-year-old player is now a part of Barcelona. Considering the way he played, fans expect a lot from the team’s new star.

Teun Koopmeiners – £46.1M

It has been a while since Juventus made a big transfer. That’s why fans are excited to see the arrival of Teun Koopmeiners from Atalanta. 

Juve paid around £46.1M for the Dutch player, who decided to move to one of Atalanta’s big rivals. What’s interesting about Koopmeiners is that he was one of the main reasons for the success of his former club during the last campaign. Some even say that the team won the Europa League because of him.

Teun played for his club for four years and took part in 97 games, but now it’s time to see him shine for Juventus.

Michael Olise – £44.6M

Michael Olise is last on the list following his move to Germany. The French superstar played for Crystal Place and had an amazing year. He was even nominated for the best young player of the year award. Needless to say, this caught the attention of many big football clubs, including Bayern Munich.

Before joining the German squad, Olise participated in the Paris Olympics, where he played for France’s national team. The latter finished second, giving Olise the silver medal.

Considering this is Bayern’s most expensive transfer this summer, fans expect a lot from the new player. This is the second big transfer from the English Premier League for Bayern after the club signed Harry Kane last year.

Bonus – Kylian Mbappe’s Transfer To Real Madrid

Even though Real Madrid did not have to pay anything to PSG to sign Kylian Mbappe, there is no arguing this is the biggest transfer of the year so far. One of the best players in the world finally decided to join Los Blancos. There have been rumours about this transfer for more than 2 years now, but it finally took place.

Real Madrid did not pay PSG anything because the player decided to terminate his contact with his former club. Now, Kylian has signed a five-year deal and will be a part of La Liga for years to come.

Shortly after Mbappe’s arrival, Real Madrid won their first trophy. The Spanish club defeated Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup Final. What’s even more impressive is that Mbappe scored his first goal for the club.

Considering that many players believe Mbappe is the best in the world right now, it’s no surprise that fans will follow him closely. Real Madrid has a very dangerous squad for the new season, so it will be interesting to see if it lives up to all expectations.
