List of Football Players with the Most Expensive Transfers at the Start of Summer 2023

The 2023 summer football player transfer window opened on June 14th and closes on September 1st, 2023. This extended period allows clubs ample time to strategize their player acquisitions, meaning the record for the most expensive transfer this season could still be broken.

According to *Bola.net*, as of early summer (June 15th, 2023), several players have already officially joined new clubs with high transfer fees.

Young striker Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund is reportedly the most expensive transfer of the summer, at €103 million, approximately Rp1.6 trillion (assuming an exchange rate of Rp16,351 per €).

Bellingham's move from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid is now only a matter of time.

Next is Pedro Porro. This right-back from Sporting Lisbon transferred to Tottenham for €45 million, approximately Rp735.8 billion.

Porro is not new to Tottenham; he joined mid-season in 2022/2023. However, he was initially on loan, before Tottenham decided to make the transfer permanent at the end of the season.

Alexis Mac Allister is third on the list of the most expensive summer 2023 transfers. While rumored to be sought after by many big clubs, he ultimately joined Liverpool.

The transfer of this Brighton midfielder to Liverpool cost €42 million, approximately Rp686.7 billion.
