Will a Premier League club break record for transfer sales in one window?
Aston Villa, Man City and Newcastle are closing in on Monaco's record for transfer income generated in a single window.
Premier League clubs have traditionally been known for their heavy spending during the transfer window, but this summer, several teams have also been making significant sales. Aston Villa, Manchester City, and Newcastle United have already surpassed the top six for transfer income generated in a single window, with Monaco's record of 360 million euros from 2018-19 now within reach.
Monaco's record was built around major departures like Kylian Mbappe's 180 million euros move to Paris St-Germain, Thomas Lemar's 72 million euros to Atletico Madrid, and Fabinho's 45 million euros to Liverpool. Aston Villa and Manchester City have generated 293.1 million euros and 278.6 million euros, respectively, this summer, while Newcastle has made 275.5 million euros.
With several days left in the window, the record could yet fall. Aston Villa is currently closest to Monaco, thanks to Morgan Rogers' 138 million euros move to Chelsea. Other notable departures include Ezri Konsa, Youri Tielemans, and Lucas Digne. Villa's summer trading has left them with the strongest positive transfer balance in the Premier League, with 132.6 million euros in profit.
