The transfer window closed on June 1 and July 1 .

Real Madrid , Liverpool and Manchester City have spent significant sums of money on multiple players.

It's still a few days before the official start of summer , but we've already learned a lot about all of these teams.

Liverpool signed Rodri Wirtz , Rayan Aït-Nouri and Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan for 55 million .

Manchester City's biggest issue last season was that whenever they lost the ball, they were hopeless.

The quality of those shots -- as measured by expected goals per shot -- was the highest in the league.

Real Madrid signed the best young center back on the market and the best teenage prospect available.

Dean Huijsen was fantastic in his single season with Bournemouth and had a 59.5 million release clause in his contract.

Alexander-Arnold is a ball-progression system unto himself.

Chelsea are building a collection of undervalued players who only accidentally resemble a soccer team.
