Manchester City fans are not impressed by what Amazon Prime Video Sport have posted on social media.
To be precise, Manchester City fans are not happy with the particular graphic they used for the topic in question.
As we all now know, the summer window just gone was the most expensive transfer window in British history.
A combined total of more than £3bn was spent by Premier League clubs on players between 16 June and 1 September 2025.
This was an increase of more than £1bn, with £1.96bn having changed hands in the summer of 2024.
This was something Amazon Prime Video Sport touched upon on social media, but the choice of player did not go down well among City fans.

Manchester City fans not happy with Tijjani Reijnders being used for Premier League big spenders post
Liverpool were by far the biggest spenders in the summer transfer window as they splashed out around £450million on new players.
Indeed, the Reds broke the British transfer record twice, first by signing Florian Wirtz and then by landing Alexander Isak on deadline day.
Either player would have been the logical choice for a graphic relating to the Premier League’s summer spending compared to other leagues – but instead, Tijjani Reijnders was used.
One fan wrote on X: “They always use a City player when talking about Premier League spending…
“Funny thing is, Man City were only 9th in PL spending this summer.”
Another City fan said: “Isak – £125m – British transfer record signing.
“Wirtz – £116m – 2nd British transfer record signing.
“All in this same summer transfer window, all for one club, LIVERPOOL.
“But let’s use a Man City player who cost less than £45m AS THE GRAPHIC HEADLINE.”
The criticism kept coming, with one City fan saying: “Liverpool spent nearly 1/7th of the EPL transfer window but you use a picture of a Man City player who cost less than £50m. Absolute joke.”
Another supporter wrote: “Why have you used the picture of a City player when TWO Liverpool signings cost £100m+ each, breaking the transfer record twice?”
Another fan said: “Liverpool spent about £450m on signing this summer but somehow a City player is the one on the graphics.”
Most expensive Premier League signings this summer
It’s very interesting to see Reijnders, a player who didn’t even make the top 10 in terms of transfer fee, being used to illustrate those stats.
Liverpool made the three most expensive signings this summer, with Isak and Wirtz alongside Hugo Ekitike.
Manchester United then took fourth and fifth spot with Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo, along with seventh spot for Matheus Cunha.
| The 10 most expensive Premier League signings this summer |
| 1) Alexander Isak (Newcastle United to Liverpool)- £125m |
| 2) Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool) – £100m rising to £116m |
| 3) Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt to Liverpool) – £69m rising to £79m with add-ons |
| 4) Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig to Manchester United) – £66.2m rising to £73.4m with add-ons |
| 5) Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford to Manchester United) – £65m rising to £71m with add-ons |
| 6) Nick Woltemade (Stuttgart to Newcastle United) – £64.7m rising to £69m with add-ons |
| 7) Matheus Cunha (Wolves to Manchester United) – £62.5m |
| 8) Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace to Arsenal) – £60m rising to £67.5m with add-ons |
| 9) Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad to Arsenal) – £60m |
| 10) Xavi Simons (Leipzig to Tottenham) – £56.3m |
Arsenal placed twice on the list, while Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur had one player apiece.
City are nowhere to be seen on that list – so Reijnders being used to illustrate the Premier League’s big spending this summer doesn’t really make sense.
