Aston Villa have earned the most money from sales of any club in world football during the 2024 summer transfer window.

The Premier League side have been the beneficiaries of two of the biggest deals so far this summer, with Douglas Luiz joining Juventus for €51.5 million along with Moussa Diaby's €60m transfer to Al-Ittihad.

Omari Kellyman's move to Chelsea (€22.5m), Everton's purchase of Tim Iroegbunam (€10.7m) and the sales of Morgan Sanson (€4m) and Viljami Sinisalo (€1.2m) mean that Villa have raised €127.4m from sales so far this summer – more than any other club in the world.
