By Tom White, PA Sport Data JournalistThe Premier League’s summer spending of £2.36billion demonstrates the “incredible pace of growth” in the league’s wealth, according to finance company Deloitte. Deloitte’s analysis showed the 2023 summer transfer window exceeded the previous record of £1.92bn – set only last summer – by almost £440m. The Saudi Pro League’s replaced them, I think they’re the second highest at the moment with over 850million euros (£728m). “Also it’s another source of funding though – I think almost half of the transfer fees received by Premier League clubs came from the Saudi Pro League. So having that extra funding from Saudi Pro League clubs and other overseas markets is then providing them with additional funds to redistribute to their transfer targets.”Mohamed Salah (right) is the latest target for the Saudi Pro League.
