They have even surpassed the notoriously spendthrift Barcelona. The Catalan giants have 'only' laid out £137.7m in transfer fees this time around, albeit that is on three heavyweights in Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Jules Kounde.
Meanwhile, their spending also trumped that of Paris Saint Germain and Real Madrid - neither of whom are prone to tightening the pursestrings.
