If you're a Newcastle United fan, it will be a pleasure to play on the back of the remarkable takeover at St James' Park.
FM22, which will be released on November 9, 2021, has already created great excitement, and finding out which teams will have the most money and budget has always been intriguing.
For now, the official budgets have not been announced, but we can make predictions based on FM21.
The following are our predictions, and we will update them with the official figures once the budgets are announced.
The Top 10 Teams With the Biggest Transfer Budgets in Football Manager 2022
Newcastle United

It wouldn't be wrong to say Newcastle United will be FM 22's most enjoyable team with a big budget...
The takeover has only just begun, and a huge fortune to spend in the game could be yours. What does it feel like to open the taps of this rich club that has been reluctant to make big signings for years?
Still, a lot of improvement is needed, so remember to spend your money wisely...
Manchester City
Man City spent the summer chasing Harry Kane in addition to Jack Grealish. Considering they signed Grealish and failed to land Kane, we can comfortably say there are still signings to be made for the Etihad Stadium.
Taking over City is really a bit like cheating, but if you're a fan, you will have plenty of money to throw around.
Bayern Munich
Bayern have always had a solid budget and probably will this year too. They started FM21 with over £50 million.
That's not a bad figure at all, since you already have a group of first-class players to work with.
PSG
Although they made many signings in the summer and brought in names like Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos and Achraf Hakimi, most of those deals were done on free transfers.
As a result, it seems possible you could add another Galactico to your team. Is there still a need?
Manchester United
United have always had big budgets, both in Football Manager and in real life, and probably will this season too.
We think that despite big spending in the summer, they still hold a large budget.
After Ronaldo and Varane, who could be bought to replace them?
Ajax
Since we don't see Ajax as a really big spender, something unexpected happened this time, but they started FM21 with more than £40 million to spend.
There are few better places than this if you want to set up a system or continue an existing one. With talented and experienced players added among the young ones, you could even achieve success in Europe in the short term.
Real Madrid
We are not very sure this will be real, because La Liga teams are in a difficult position due to financial fair play rules, but if there is one team that will overcome this difficulty, it is definitely Real Madrid.
After all, they made a big bid for Kylian Mbappe in the summer, so it is likely to be reflected in the transfer budgets.
Chelsea
Chelsea are backed by Roman Abramovich, so they are always among the teams that can reach high budgets.
They spent a lot to back Thomas Tuchel in the summer, but we still expect them to be one of the richest clubs in the game.
Dinamo Moscow
Like Ajax, Dinamo Moscow may sound surprising, but the team also had a sufficient budget in FM21, which you could even call very, very good compared with the rest of Russia's teams.
That is a budget of more than £22 million, and they have a very important bank behind them.
In terms of challenge, Dinamo could be a fun choice, especially with the budget you need to start with and the many signings you will make.
Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund, who have just sold Jadon Sancho to Manchester United, are very likely to start FM22 with a good budget.
They earned more than £90 million in transfer fees in the summer and spent only £45 million. That could mean you can spend the rest and even keep Erling Haaland.
