Manchester United by far outspent all other clubs this summer. United's net total does not even include their biggest arrival, Radamel Falcao, who signed a one year loan deal from AS Monaco on the transfer deadline day.

Arsenal spent big this season for a change, while Barcelona FC had to, considering that they will not be able to sign any new players until the January 2016 transfer window, due to an upcoming FIFA transfer ban.

It is interesting that Juventus, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have all managed to keep their books, more or less, in balance this transfer season. The clubs must be taking the UEFA Financial Fair Play rules a bit more seriously these days.
