Players have three choices when it comes to Game Modes in FM24, but sticking with the Original experience will reflect what we’re looking for here. So, without further ado and with a bit of fluctuation, here are the biggest transfer budgets you can start with in FM24.

ClubFM24 Transfer Budget
Brighton & Hove Albion~ £80M
Liverpool~ £75M
Celta Vigo~ £40M
Manchester City~ £40M
Ajax~ £35M
Brentford~ £35M
Napoli~ £35M
Monaco~ £30M
West Ham~ £30M
Athletic Bilbao~ £25M
PSG~ £25M
Real Madrid~ £25M
Fulham~ £20M
Southampton~ £20M
Tottenham Hotspur~ £20M
AC Milan~ £15M
Atalanta~ £15M
Bayern Munich~ £15M
RB Leipzig~ £15M

Well, well, well, Brighton, welcome to the party. Of course, if it were possible, a handful of Saudi Pro League clubs would top this list. But for the time being, you’ll have to be content with those teams offering your club a lot of money for your players. And did you ever imagine West Ham United would rival PSG or Real Madrid in terms of transfer budgets? Imagine no longer!

Now, transfer budget isn’t the only factor that goes into calculating a team’s financial situation. After all, Brighton is a very well-run team. Therefore, they have a high starting transfer budget. But they also boast a solid overall balance (~£140M).

As for clubs that don’t start with bigger transfer budgets but are still sound financially? Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Zenit, Hoffenheim, and Celtic just to name a handful.

How Game Modes Impact Transfer Budgets in FM24

If you’re looking for the standard FM experience this year, be sure to select Original when choosing your preferred Game Mode. That’s what we based our above table off of. And that’s because the game mode you choose will directly impact your club’s transfer budget.

Real World takes into account transfers that are about to happen, reflecting real-world activity, whereas Your World provides players with an alternate reality of sorts – typically making them a bit richer from the start. In the Original experience, Chelsea began with a transfer budget of £6M. In your world, anecdotally – when their squad remains bloated, and they so far haven’t brought in even more players – it starts at well over £100M. So, if you’re looking for a “rebuild” that gives you plenty of cash to burn, Chelsea may be the club for you.

For now, that’s everything you need to know about the biggest transfer budgets in Football Manager 24. So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to go out there and put this money to the test. And while you’re at it, be sure to check back here for our continued coverage of FM24.
