While some clubs stood out for their incredible spending during this summer transfer window, such as Chelsea and Tottenham, others turned a hefty profit by offloading several players.

Leading the pack is Newcastle, who generated €265.5 million in profits by selling as many as 11 players. This massive windfall was largely thanks to the sale of Sandro Tonali to Tottenham (€108M), Bruno Guimarães to Arsenal (€87.5M), and Anthony Gordon to Barça (€70M).

Aston Villa comes in second, boosting their coffers by €233.5 million, including €138 million from the sale of Morgan Rogers to the Blues. Youri Tielemans moved to Manchester United for a €41 million fee, while Donyell Malen made a permanent switch to Roma for €25 million.

In third place is Sporting CP, who raked in €191.35 million by parting ways with several squad members, including Geovany Quenda to Chelsea (€50M), Morten Hjulmand to Atlético Madrid (€40M), Ousmane Diomande to Nottingham Forest (€40M), Francisco Trincao to Al-Ahli (€39.35M), and Alisson Santos (€16.5M).
