Aston Villa, Manchester City, and Newcastle are now among the top six clubs for transfer income in one window. Villa leads with 293.1m euros (£251m) from player sales this summer, close to Monaco's record of 360m euros from 2018-19. With days left in the window, further departures could see one club set a new all-time high.
