Chinese Super League clubs spent a record amount on players during the 2017 winter transfer window, splashing out a total of £331 million (approximately Rp 5.4 trillion). The most expensive transfer was Chelsea forward Oscar's move to Shanghai SIPG for £51 million.
The CSL's spending dwarfed that of Europe's top leagues. The English Premier League came in second with £215 million (approximately Rp 3.5 trillion) spent, while La Liga in Spain spent only around 10 percent of the Premier League's total.
