Despite the recent transfer period seeing Neymar become the world-record signing with a €222 million move to Paris Saint-Germain and Ousmane Dembele make a big-money switch to Barcelona, it is the English top-flight that remains the biggest spender.
FIFA's analysis of the big five countries - England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France - shows clubs reached a new level of spending in the summer, with a total of $3.67 billion (£2.75bn) - a 31.7% increase on last year, though the number of deals only went up by 6.2%.
English sides were responsible for more than a third of that total, splashing out $1.4bn (£1bn) on a total of 526 players, and recouping $477m (£358m) in sales.
La Liga were the next biggest spenders, giving out $639.5m (£480m) in fees, but the $752.3m (£565m) they made in receipts is more than any other country, and is the only country to bring in more money than they spent.
Germany and Italy were the only countries not to surpass their previous record spending figures, $519m (£391m) and $506.8m (£382m) respectively.
