Unlike the four other major European leagues (Liga BBVA, Barclays Premier League, Bundesliga and Ligue 1), the club that spent the most in Serie A in the summer of 2014 is not a foreign club coming from the Liga BBVA or the Premier League, the first two championships in the UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) coefficient rankings. AS Roma spent the most on players from other Italian clubs.

The Italian first division was also European Top 5 league that spent the least in the other four European counterparts.
