Noni Madueke was their most expensive departure, joining Arsenal for €56m, while the Blues also sold the likes of Joao Felix, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Renato Veiga and Carney Chukwuemeka, among many, many others.

Bournemouth are in second place after being picked apart following their impressive 2024-25 campaign under Andoni Iraola. Ilya Zabarnyi, Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez and Dango Ouatarra all left for over €40m, with the club earning a total of €238.4m through sales this summer.

Bayer Leverkusen are third after a devastating window that saw them not only lose head coach Xabi Alonso but also a host of key players like Florian Wirtz, Granit Xhaka, Jeremie Frimpong and Piero Hincapie. Eight players departed for a fee, adding up to a total of €229.5m.

Liverpool boast the fourth-highest income through sales this summer, largely thanks to the exits of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich, Darwin Nunez to Al-Hilal and Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen. In total, Arne Slot’s side have earned €219.5m via player sales this summer.

In fifth place is Newcastle due to the Premier League record transfer of Alexander Isak to Liverpool for €145m. Lloyd Kelly and Sean Longstaff also brought in funds for a total of €176m.

AC Milan are sixth after racking up an income of €169.3m due to eight permanent sales, including Tijjani Reijnders, Malick Thiaw and Theo Hernandez.

RB Leipzig made €160.1m from high-profile departures such as Benjamin Sesko and Xavi Simons. Brentford just about beat Brighton to eighth place, having made €155.3m compared to the Seagulls' €155m.

Wolves complete the top 10 after losing Matheus Cunha, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Fabio Silva and Goncalo Guedes for €137.5m.
