Liverpool signed three of them alone - Bayer Leverkusen pair Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, and Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike. Benjamin Sesko left RB Leipzig for Manchester United while his old team-mate Xavi Simons could be on the move to Chelsea. And Bayern Munich legend Thomas Muller left the club after 17 years in the first team.
So the Bundesliga - which starts on Friday with Bayern v Leipzig, a game you can watch live on BBC Sport - will need some new stars. Every Friday night this season a Bundesliga match will be streamed on the BBC Sport website and iPlayer - with in-game clips on our social media accounts. BBC Sport looks at which new signings, youngsters or promoted players will hope to make a name for themselves in Germany.
