The summer transfer window is now closed, and the squads are finalised for the most part. Only the free agent market is open for a little while, but the big money moves are now done for the year. 

In this article, we’ll be taking a look at the line-up of the most expensive XI of players to have changed clubs this summer. 

## Most expensive XI of players signed in the summer of 2022

### GK: Gavin Bazunu, €14m

**Manchester City to Southampton **

The former Man City keeper has had a sharp start to life at his new club, and is emerging as one of the best new goalkeepers in the top flight. 

### CB: Wesley Fofana, €80m

> Exclusive: Wesley Fofana has completed the main part of his Chelsea medical today. He will join Chelsea for £75m including add ons signing a 6 year contract. An official announcement is expected soon.

**Leicester City to Chelsea **

The Frenchman signed a new contract with Leicester only a while ago. But, pushed the club to deal with [Chelsea](https://technosports.co.in/2022/09/03/chelsea-break-summer-spending-record/) and sell him to them for a record fee, which is among the most expensive player fees for a young centre-back.

### CB: Matthijs de Ligt, €67m

**Juventus to Bayern Munich **

De Ligt has moved to the German giants as the replacement for Niklas Sule. He has been replaced by Gleison Bremer in the Juventus squad. 

### CB: Marc Cucurella, €80m

**Brighton to Chelsea **

After Manchester City refused to overpay for Marc Cucurella, Chelsea came in and signed Cucurella, making him the most expensive player at left-back. 

### RM: Antony, €100m 

> Antony to Manchester United, here we go! Agreement in principle with Ajax, €100m fee. Contract until June 2027 with option until 2028. To be signed tomorrow. 🚨🔴🇧🇷 [#MUFC](https://twitter.com/hashtag/MUFC?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)

**Ajax to Manchester United **

The Antony transfer saga dragged on for a while, and Manchester United’s fourth bid worth €100 million was eventually accepted. The Brazilian is now officially a Manchester United player, as he wanted all along. Antony is at the top of the list of the most expensive players this summer. 

### CM: Casemiro, €70m

**Real Madrid to Manchester United **

It still feels surreal that Casemiro isn’t at Real Madrid anymore. The midfielder has reunited with former teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane at Old Trafford, moving from Los Blancos. 

### CM: Aurélien Tchouameni, €80m

**AS Monaco to Real Madrid **

Madrid signed Casemiro’s replacement early on in the window. They paid Monaco €80 million for Tchouameni, making him La Liga’s most expensive player this summer. 

### LM: Raphinha, €58m

**Leeds United to Barcelona **

After a dramatic transfer saga involving Chelsea and Barcelona, the winger chose to join the Blaugranas and has now scored his first official goal for them too. 

### FW: Darwin Núñez, €75m

**SL Benfica to Liverpool **

Early in the window, Liverpool identified Nunez as a valuable addition to their front line. He is now tasked with replacing Sadio Mane in the line-up. 

### FW: Alexander Isak, €70m

**Real Sociedad to Newcastle United **

Newcastle United have signed their most expensive player this transfer window in Alexander Isak. The Swiss striker is now the [record signing for the Magpies](https://twitter.com/NUFC360/status/1562469772188479490?s=20&t=L9igXAfA0pNVCHhu2ualXQ) under their new ownership. 

### FW: Erling Haaland, €60m

**Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City **

Considering the kind of quality Haaland has shown, and is showing right now, €60 million is a bargain for the Norwegian. He is already on his way to an iconic Premier League career.
