The summer transfer market for the 2026-2027 season saw significant movements of Arab players, with Moroccan and Algerian names leading the list of the most expensive deals, while only one Egyptian player appeared among the transfers. Moroccan player Ayoub Boucati topped the list of the most costly Arab transfers after moving from Lille (France) to Manchester City (England) for 95 million euros, the highest amount ever paid for an Arab player's deal in the market. He was followed by Moroccan Ismaël Simuhary, who transferred from Eindhoven to Bayern Munich for 55 million euros, reflecting the increasing value of Moroccan players in Europe. The list also included Algerians such as Giovani Hagem, who moved from Young Boys to Brighton for 13 million euros; Azedin Unahi, who transferred from Girona to Panathinaikos for 11 million euros; Issa Diop, from Fulham to Ipswich Town for 10 million euros; Zakaria Wanis, from Genk to Hamburg for 8 million euros; Yassin Titraoui, from Charleroi to Lens for 8 million euros; and Rachid Belgali, from Hellas Verona to Torino for 7 million euros. The only Egyptian player, Haitham Hassan, moved from Real Oviedo to Celtic for 6 million euros. This marks an important step in his European career and highlights the trend of European clubs signing talented Arab players at high financial values.
