Ipswich Town have joined the ranks of the biggest-spending promoted clubs in Premier League history after splashing more than €178 million on new players ahead of the 2026/27 season.

🇳🇬 Here's What Happened

The Tractor Boys, who are back in the top flight after another promotion, have adopted a more ambitious transfer strategy under new manager Gary O’Neil as they look to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.

However, history shows that spending heavily does not always guarantee Premier League survival.

Here are the 10 biggest-spending promoted teams, according to Transfermarkt on Wednesday

📌 Key Details

Burnley spent €110.5m on 10 players during the summer of 2023 as they prepared for life back in the Premier League.

James Trafford was arguably the most significant signing, although Burnley struggled throughout the campaign and finished 19th, eight points from safety.

The Clarets were relegated straight back to the Championship.

Fulham were among the Premier League’s biggest spenders in the summer of 2018, bringing in 18 players.

Aleksandar Mitrovic was one of the key arrivals, but the spending failed to translate into results.

Fulham won just seven league games and finished 19th, 10 points from safety.
