The transfer window was animated this summer and Ligue 1 is no exception. If as often Paris Saint-Germain has shown its financial capacities, Strasbourg and Olympique de Marseille have not been outdone as well as the ambitious promoted of Paris FC. During this 2025 summer transfer window, the most expensive recruit in Ligue 1 is the Ukrainian defender Heya Zabarniy. The latter arrived at PSG from Bournemouth for 63 million euros. He is ahead of his teammate Lucas Chevalier who arrived from Lille to Paris Saint-Germain against a check for 40 million euros (excluding bonuses).
It is the Brazilian winger Igor Peaceão who completes the podium with a transfer of 30 million euros excluding Bonus from Feyenoord to Olympique de Marseille. His new teammate Nayef Aguerd follows with an amount of 23 million euros for his arrival from West Ham. Strasbourg places four players with the arrivals of Julio Enciso (5th), Joaquin Panichelli (7th), Lucas Høgsberg (8th) and Mathis Amougou (9th). Promoted, Paris FC recruited Otavio (6th) to FC Porto against 17 million euros, a sacred sum. Finally, Jonathan Rowe loaned last season at Olympique de Marseille was bought against 14.5 million euros but was sold in Bologna for 17 million euros.
