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

In recent weeks, several Premier League clubs have made headlines not just for their spending, but also for their transfer sales. Aston Villa, Manchester City and Newcastle United have already secured spots in the all-time top six for transfer income generated in a single window. Monaco's 360 million euro haul from 2018-19 is now within reach.

Monaco amassed this record through significant departures, including Kylian Mbappe's 180 million euro move to Paris St-Germain, Thomas Lemar's transfer to Atletico Madrid for 72 million euros and Fabinho's switch to Liverpool for 45 million euros. Aston Villa have brought in 293.1 million euros (£251 million) from departures this summer, Manchester City 278.6 million euros and Newcastle 275.5 million euros.
