The 2025 summer market shattered records especially in England while continental clubs followed widely differing strategies. The Premier League blew past the £3 billion mark, with top teams making marquee signings, whereas La Liga’s giants (hampered by Financial Fair Play) invested selectively. Serie A saw several heavy hitters raid markets (AC Milan, Juventus, Napoli) but also cash in on stars, leaving many clubs in net profit. In Germany, Bayern Munich made one blockbuster move (Luis Díaz), and most Bundesliga teams spent conservatively. Ligue 1 again served as a feeder league: aside from PSG, most French clubs focused on selling talent and balancing the books.

Syrian government airstrikes on the rebel-held northwest killed four civilians, two of them children, on Saturday, a war monitor said, as a two-month flare-up showed no let-up.
The Idlib region of some three million people is supposed to be protected by a September buffer zone deal, but the jihadist-run enclave has come under mounting bombardment by the government and its ally Russia since late April.
The two children were killed in a garage on the edge of the town of Maaret al-Numan, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The other two civilians were killed in strikes on the Idlib province villages of Kansafra and Khan al-Subul, the Britain-based monitor said.
The September deal signed by Russia and rebel backer Turkey was supposed to set up a buffer zone around the Idlib region, but it was never fully implemented as the jihadists refused to pull back from the front lines.
Hostilities deepened In January when Hayat Tahrir al-Sham — an alliance led by Syria’s former Al-Qaeda affiliate — took over administrative control of the region.
Since late April, more than 460 civilians have been killed in government or Russian bombardment, according to the Observatory.
The violence has forced around 330,000 people to flee their homes and hit 23 health centres, the United Nations says.
The war in Syria has killed more than 370,000 people and displaced millions since it erupted in 2011 with the brutal repression of protests against President Bashar al-Assad.
