According to Deloitte, Premier League clubs' gross spend of £2.36 billion was almost £440 million higher than the previous record (£1.92bn) set last summer, while (with the exception of Spain's LaLiga) gross transfer spend increased in all of Europe's top leagues as well.
Leipzig spent a cool €30m to re-sign Werner in 2022 and his two goals in 14 games this season are a world apart from his first spell when he bagged 95 in 159. The club still made a decent profit after moving him on to Chelsea for €50m in 2020, so it's not all bad. But they wouldn't have expected him to struggle enough for a loan spell.
