FIFA said in its annual Global Transfer Market report there was an all-time record of 86,158 international transfers completed in 2025.
Women’s football accounted for 2,440 transfers (+6.3%) and total spending of $28.6 million, a year-on-year increase of more than 80%.
The joint transfer total from men and women’s football, professional and amateur, of $13.11 billion represents more than 50% above the spending in 2024 and 35.6% higher than the previous record, set in 2023.
In men’s professional football, clubs from England were once again both the number-one spender and the number-one recipient of transfer fees, with $3.82 billion spent on incoming transfers and $1.77b received for outgoing transfers in 2025.
