Quest’anno in Premier League è stato speso più di un miliardo e mezzo di sterline per l’acquisto di calciatori, mentre sono arrivati in Gran Bretagna 829 milioni di sterline. Un bilancio quindi in negativo di di più di 700 milioni di sterline. Dei numeri abnormi che fanno capire come il campionato inglese sia fra i più ricchi, ed anche uno dei più attraenti per i calciatori. 

Solo tre sono le squadre che hanno chiuso con un bilancio in positivo fra acquisti e cessioni, nessuna di queste supera i 25 milioni di euro. Insomma, non si è badato a spese in questa sessione di mercato, e molti campioni sono arrivati in Premier League. Emblematica, però, la situazione melodrammatica dei campioni in carica del Chelsea, che hanno ceduto Matic (al Manchester United) sostituendolo con Bakayoko del Monaco, e di fatto hanno perso Diego Costa per i vari litigi fra lo spagnolo e l’allenatore, ma hanno avuto terribili difficoltà in entrata, portando sì a Londra Alvaro Morata, ma non riuscendo a dare molta profondità alla squadra. Tanto che, nel deadline day, è arrivato Davide Zappacosta dal Torino, dopo il gran rifiuto di Oxlade Chamberlain, e con Ross Barkley che ha ripensato al suo passaggio dall’Everton al Chelsea proprio mentre faceva le visite mediche, ed è tornato a Liverpool. 

Intelligente il mercato del Tottenham, quasi immobile fino a 2 settimane fa. Gli Spurs hanno ceduto a peso d’oro Walker, per poi acquistare nell’ultima settimana di mercato Aurier (sostituto naturale di quest’ultimo), Sanchez e Foyth per rinforzare e ringiovanire la difesa, e poi Llorente per puntellare l’attacco. Nel frattempo, però, tutti i big della formazione di Pochettino sono rimasti, pronti a dare l’assalto al Trono della Premier. Rivoluzione invece in casa Manchester City, hanno salutato Iheanacho, Bony, Nolito, Fernando, Kolarov, Nasri, Hart, Clichy, Zabaleta e Caballero, e sono arrivati tantissimi giocatori, per una spesa vicina ai 250 milioni di euro: punta di diamante della campagna acquisti, Bernardo Silva, ma ben 158 milioni spesi per tre terzini.

Attivissimi, e spendaccioni, pure Liverpool e Manchester United in Premier League, con la squadra di Klopp che ha deciso di puntare tutto sulla velocità e l’esplosività di Salah e Oxlade Chamberlain, mentre Mourinho ha speso tanto, tantissimo, per Lukaku, ha tenuto a casa Ibrahimovic, ed ha costruito una squadra molto fisica, quasi un’armata, per conquistare la Premier.

L’ennesimo, nuovo, Arsenal di Arsene Wenger, invece, è riuscito a trattenere Alexis Sanchez, rinforzando l’attacco con Alexandre Lacazette, ma sembra aver conservato in maniera intatta i problemi difensivi che l’hanno contraddistinto negli ultimi anni. Una menzione particolare bisogna però farla per il mercato dell’Everton, che, forte  dei tanti soldi arrivati per Lukaku, ha portato a casa Rooney, ma anche Sigurdsson, Keane, Klaasen e Ramirez.
