<p>The transfer window officially closed on Monday night for most top leagues following another intense deadline day. This year's deadline day set a new record, with clubs spending €767 million, surpassing last season's high of €518 million. The stand-out transaction on deadline day was Alexander Isak’s long-awaited transfer to Liverpool, which was finalized for a record English transfer fee of €145 million.</p>
<br>
<p>This summer saw a whirlwind of activity in the transfer market, with clubs collectively investing over €9 billion in new talent, breaking the previous record of €8.86 billion from the 2023/2024 season. While the transfer window has closed for the top five leagues, it remains open in countries like Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Therefore, final figures may still be adjusted, but we have analyzed the clubs that generated the most transfer income this season, utilizing data from Transfermarkt.</p>

<h2>Top Clubs by Transfer Income in the Summer Window</h2>
<br>
<p>Chelsea topped the list, generating over €100 million more than any other club during the summer transfer window. The Blues brought in €332 million through player sales, a figure that may increase as several surplus players are rumored for moves to the Süper Lig or Saudi Pro League. Chelsea currently boasts a positive transfer balance of €4.1 million this summer, with Noni Madueke's €56 million transfer to Arsenal being their most significant sale of the season.</p>
