Spend Room · Estimate
From published accountsRoughly how much each club can still spend on fees before a Premier League fine, most first. Tap a club for the plain-English why. Confirmed deals are already counted in.
Arsenal can add roughly ~£225–300m of transfer fees this window before risking a Premier League fine, on five-year deals. A fee is spread over five years, so the budget is bigger than one season's room (about £85–125m a year). Wages still count in full, so a marquee signing may need a sale too.

Spend room estimates annual accounting cost, not cash spend. Public estimates may differ from club and league submissions. A public-source estimate with a confidence band, never an official club or league figure.
Premier League squad-cost ratio (SCR) from 2026/27: green at 85% of football revenue plus net player-sale result, red at 115%. “Room to buy” is this domestic 85% line. UEFA 70% is a separate, stricter overlay for European clubs: over it is a squad-cost contribution / fine, not a transfer ban, so it sets the band but not the room. Squad cost counts wages, agent fees and transfer amortisation. Net cash spend is not regulatory room.
Room to buy is an ANNUAL figure. A fee is amortised over five years, so a club can pay a bigger fee than its annual room (only fee/5 lands each year) but it commits future years too, and the wage counts in full every year. Each club’s squad cost already carries the amortisation of past windows, so heavy recent buying shows up as less room now.
Reported moves, each one dated and attributed to the transfer feed, treated as news facts. Net spend counts confirmed cash fees only; loans, free transfers, swaps and undisclosed deals are listed but never given a number we cannot source. None of this touches a rating or a forecast.
