Estimated total
−€31.1m in · +€19.1m out · net −€12.1mWindows are inferred from the transfer date (summer Jun–Sep, winter Jan–Feb) — the feed doesn’t label them, and leagues on other calendars will land outside those months. Loans, frees and undisclosed fees count as moves but contribute €0, and totals include provider estimates. A window marked partial opened before this 365-day view starts, so its total covers only the part that falls inside it.
