Will a Premier League club break record for transfer sales in one window?

Premier League clubs are usually associated with spending heavily in the transfer market, but this summer several have been making as much noise through their sales.

Aston Villa , Manchester City and Newcastle United have already moved into the all-time top six for transfer income generated in a single window, with Monaco's 360m euros haul from 2018-19 now within reach.

Monaco's record was built around several major departures, most notably Kylian Mbappe's 180m euros move to Paris St-Germain, while Thomas Lemar joined Atletico Madrid for 72m euros and Fabinho moved to Liverpool for 45m euros.

On 26 August, according to Transfermarkt, which lists transfer fees in euros, Villa have brought in 293.1m euros (£251m) from departures this summer, City 278.6m euros and Newcastle 275.5m euros.

Only Monaco, Chelsea 's 321m euros in 2025-26 and Atletico Madrid's 314m euros in 2019-20 currently sit above them.

And with several days of the window still remaining, the record could yet fall.

Villa are currently closest to Monaco with Morgan Rogers' £117m (138m euros) move to Chelsea accounting for a significant chunk of their total. Ezri Konsa, Youri Tielemans and Lucas Digne were also among those to leave.

Their summer trading has also left them with the strongest positive transfer balance in the Premier League.
