Europe's football clubs have spent almost €2.7 billion ($3.16bn) so far in this transfer window. With the window closing shut on Monday, October 5, we can expect a few last-minute deals as well. Some of the more eye-catching deals has seen Manchester City invest in a new centre-back. Ruben Dias made his debut in <a href="https://www.thenational.ae/sport/football/breathtaking-draw-between-leeds-and-manchester-city-lives-up-to-the-hype-1.1087678">Saturday's 1-1 draw with Leeds United</a> and gave a good account of himself after joining from Benfica for £62 million with Nicolas Otamendi heading in the opposite direction. It took Pep Guardiola's combined spending on defenders past the £400 million mark. Six of City's nine highest transfer fees have now been spent on defenders. Sheffield United signed highly-rated young Liverpool forward Rhian Brewster for £23.5 million while Barcelona acquired American defender Sergino Dest from Ajax for a fee of £19.1 million.
