Spending by promoted clubs set to surpass £300m
Once defender Omar Alderete's transfer from Getafe to Sunderland is completed, it will take spending by the three newly promoted clubs to over £300m this summer. Excluding Alderete, the Black Cats have paid out an estimated £122m on 10 players. Burnley have brought in 13 new faces at a cost of approximately £100m, while Leeds United have invested £73.5m on seven signings. There is little doubt that consolidating top-flight status is harder than ever, with the gulf between the Championship and Premier League continuing to widen. In each of the previous two seasons, the three sides that came up went straight back down. As a consequence, clubs are spending ever increasing sums in the hope of remaining competitive, but with no guarantee it will pay off. Southampton, Ipswich Town and Leicester City shelled out a total of £276.5m last summer but together they accumulated just 59 points, the lowest combined figure by newly promoted teams in a 38-game Premier League season.

Getafe agree £10m Sunderland sale
La Liga outfit Getafe have early this week agreed on the sale of a member of the club's defensive ranks to Premier League side Sunderland. The player in question? Omar Alderete. Alderete, for his part, is a 28-year-old Paraguayan international, who has been plying his trade on the books of Getafe since the summer of 2023. Across the time since, the stopper – who chiefly operates in a central role but is also capable of filling in at left-back – managed to establish himself as a leading figure in the Azulones' backline. With such form, though, comes inevitable outside interest. And as alluded to above, this week, as much has culminated in Alderete being lured away from the Estadio Coliseum. As per a report from transfer insider Fabrizio Romano: 'Omar Alderete to Sunderland, here we go! Deal sealed with Getafe for £10m fee. Contract until June 2029. All done.' Conor Laird – GSFN
