The biggest sellers in Europe this summer

10) Manchester United – £86.8m
Erik ten Hag has “mixed” feelings about Man Utd selling Scott McTominay, but this £25m deadline day deal sees the Premier League giants enter the top ten at the 11th hour.

 

9) Juventus – £87.2m
They have found Premier League clubs to be very willing buyers, with Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Liverpool all taking unwanted players off their hands, though the biggest sum came from Roma for Matias Soule.

 

8) Benfica – £90m
Joao Neves is the biggest sale made by the selling experts this summer. They also got money for David Neres, Morato and Paulo Bernardo.

7) Wolves – £90.5m
Gary O’Neil’s side cashed in on Pedro Neto, who joins Max Kilman in leaving Wolves this summer.

 

6) Atalanta – £96.8m
Teun Koopmeiners joining Juventus makes up the bulk of that total; they replaced him with Charles De Ketelaere for less than half the price.

5) Rennes – £114m
The second club to get past the £100m sales mark after the accepted a huge wodge of cash from PSG for teenager Desire Doue.

 

4) Manchester City – £118.75m
Julian Alvarez propelled the Premier League champions after the World Cup winner joined Atletico Madrid for an initial £64m.

 

3) Aston Villa – £122.1m
Only Chelsea have spent more in the summer transfer window but Villa’s PSR concerns have made sales necessary, with Douglas Luiz making up the bulk of their windfall before they also got their money back on Moussa Diaby as he headed to Saudi Arabia.

 

2) Leeds United – £137.2m
Leeds’ desperation to raise funds has seen them sanction the ‘heartbreaking’ sale of teenager Archie Gray, who joined Tottenham for around £40m. They landed the same amount for the similarly reluctant sale of Georginio Rutter, who joins Crysencio Summerville, Luis Sinisterra, Marc Roca, Charlie Cresswell, Diego Llorente and Glen Kamara as permanent Elland Road departees.

 

1) Chelsea – £147.4m
The biggest sellers of the 2023 summer transfer window have successfully defended their crown. Chelsea have made pure profit on Lewis Hall, Omari Hutchinson, Ian Maatsen, Diego Moreira, and Conor Gallagher. And banking £25.5m for Romelu Lukaku has to go down as a win of sorts.
