ZURICH (AP) – A record number of 5,973 international transfers were recorded in men’s soccer’s January trading window, according to the news agency. FIFA report<\/span> It was released on Thursday.<\/p>\n

This means that global transactions between clubs in each country processed by FIFA have increased by 3% compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n

However, total spending was down about 18% from last year’s record to $1.95 billion. According to FIFA, this is still about 20% more than the previous record in January 2023.<\/p>\n

In women’s soccer, clubs spent more than $10 million on international transfers, an 85% increase from the previous year’s record, but the number of international transfers fell 6% to 420.<\/p>\n

England is the top spender<\/h2>\n

British clubs were once again the biggest spenders, spending $363 million in transfer fees, but recovered only $150 million by selling players to clubs in other countries. Italy follows in second place with $283 million, while Brazil, Germany and France also round out the top five.<\/p>\n

French clubs benefited the most, earning $218 million in transfer fees, followed by Italy, Brazil, England and Spain.<\/p>\n

In the United States, each club spent $99 million and received $48 million in transfer fees, according to FIFA research.<\/p>\n

Women’s clubs in the UK also topped the list with more than $5 million in spending, making them the biggest earners.<\/p>\n
