Saudi Arabian clubs dominate the top of the list primarily due to the backing of the Public Investment Fund (PIF). Surprising to some, included are teams like Brighton—a demonstration of how Football Manager evaluates transfer budgets based on various elements, from collected transfer fees to spending on incoming players.

Brighton’s strategy of acquiring undervalued talent and selling high underpins their substantial transfer budget. Conversely, clubs like Brentford, though not as established, benefited from sales of key players like Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, allowing for some significant spending power.

The Premier League is well-represented in this list, but you might be astonished to see Brazilian teams like BOT (Botafogo) and FLA (Flamengo) making the cut. Their impressive financial positions stem from successful recent campaigns and participation earnings from the FIFA Club World Cup.
