The summer transfer window is set to go into overdrive this month as clubs look to get deals over the line before the market closes.
Clubs across the world have continued to splash the cash in a bid to improve their squads and make them more competitive.
Despite the plethora of quality players who have left Europe for the riches of the Saudi Pro League, the Premier League continues to lead the way in terms of money spent.
Seven of the ten most expensive signings this summer have been made by English clubs.
Here is a look at some of the most expensive transfers to date.
Ruben Neves to Al-Hilal
The Portugal international midfielder left Wolverhampton Wanderers for Al-Hilal for £47 million.
Neves spent six seasons with the Midlands outfit, helping them win Premier League promotion in his first season at Molineux.
Christopher Nkunku to Chelsea
The French attacker joined the Blues from RB Leipzig for £52m on a six-year deal, but he picked up a knock during the 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund today and is set to miss the start of the new season.
He ended last term with 23 goals in 36 games for Leipzig and should be worth every penny for Chelsea.
Manuel Ugarte to Paris Saint-Germain
Chelsea pulled out of the race for the Uruguay international midfielder and he ended up joining Paris Saint-Germain for £51m, making Sporting Lisbon smile to the bank in the process.
Moussa Diaby to Aston Villa
Unai Emery sanctioned a £51.9m club-record deal for the PSG academy graduate, and the French attacker has hit the ground running in pre-season since leaving Bayer Leverkusen.
The Spanish manager will hope he replicates that form when the campaign gets underway.
Sandro Tonali to Newcastle United
The Italian midfielder signed a five-year deal with Newcastle United after leaving AC Milan for £55m, and there is a feeling that the club are ready to break the bank for more marquee signings if need be.
Mason Mount to Manchester United
The England international midfielder ended his 18-year association with Chelsea this summer to the shock of many people, with the Red Devils parting with £55m to recruit his services over the next five years, with the option of another 12 months.
Dominik Szoboszlai to Liverpool
The Reds splashed out £60m on the Hungarian midfielder after his impressive season with Leipzig in the Bundesliga last term.
Jurgen Klopp wants to bolster his squad after the disappointing campaign Liverpool had last term, and he will hope the 22-year-old hits the ground running when the new Premier League season kicks off.
Kai Havertz to Arsenal
Arsenal parted with an initial £60m for the Germany international and will pay another £5m in add-ons to Chelsea if he meets some targets.
The former Bayer Leverkusen star has divided opinion since moving to the Premier League for £72m in 2020 and he has a lot to prove at his new club.
Jude Bellingham to Real Madrid
The England international midfielder joined the La Liga giants for an initial £88.5m from Borussia Dortmund just days before he turned 20.
The Bundesliga club will earn another £25m in add-ons if the youngster hits some targets, potentially making him the most expensive English player in history.
Liverpool were keen on Bellingham but had no financial ability to meet his price.
Declan Rice to Arsenal
West Ham United are getting £100m up front for their former captain, with another £5m promised in add-ons.
All eyes will be on Rice with the Gunners, who have spent more than £200m this summer in search of silverware.
