šŸ’° Rice and who? Ranking every Premier League club's record sale

Declan Rice is now the biggest sale in West Ham history, but how does he stack up against the record departure at every other Premier League club?


Luton Town

James Justin to Leicester City (Ā£8m)

Lutonā€™s incredible rise through the pyramid has not been fuelled by a big sale or two, with a modest Ā£8m for James Justin still the biggest fee the club has ever taken for a player. That will surely change soon.


Nottingham Forest

Britt Assombalonga to Middlesbrough (Ā£15m)

You have to go back to 2017 for Forestā€™s biggest sale, with goal-getter Britt Assombalonga heading to Championship rivals Middlesbrough but he couldnā€™t fire them to promotion in his four seasons at the club.


Sheffield United

Aaron Ramsdale to Arsenal (Ā£24m)

Just two years ago, the Arsenal number one signed for the Gunners after a second Premier League relegation in as many seasons.


Burnley

Chris Wood to Newcastle (Ā£25m)

Bought in January 2022, Wood was moved on again 12 months later initially on loan but Newcastle ultimately recouped Ā£15m as he joined Nottingham Forest permanently.


Fulham

Ryan Sessegnon to Tottenham (Ā£25m)

Josh Onomah also joined Fulham from Spurs in the deal that saw Sessegnon cross London after the Cottagers were relegated from the top flight.


Brentford

Ollie Watkins to Aston Villa (Ā£28m)

This deal was worth up to Ā£33m including add-ons. Considering Watkins has now played and scored for England, has 40 Premier League goals to his name and Villa are in Europe ā€¦Ā  itā€™s safe to assume a lot (if not all) of those bonuses have been paid.


Newcastle United

Andy Carroll to Liverpool (Ā£35m)

Newcastleā€™s biggest sale looks like a masterstroke but hasnā€™t been topped since January 2011, with just two other sales (Moussa Sissoko and Ayoze PĆ©rez) reaching the Ā£30m mark since then.


Arsenal

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to Liverpool (Ā£40m)

Now a free agent, the midfielder played his last Arsenal game at Anfield days before it became his new home.


Bournemouth

Nathan AkĆ© to Manchester City (Ā£41m)

Previously of Chelsea, Bournemouth made a huge profit as they sold AkƩ to the Premier League champions in 2020.


Wolves

RĆŗben Neves to Al-Hilal (Ā£47m)

Wolves have seen their record sale set this summer, with RĆŗben Neves making his switch to Saudi Arabia.


Manchester City

Raheem Sterling to Chelsea (Ā£47.5m)

Last summer, Sterling moved back to London as he joined Chelsea but he scored just nine goals in his first season with the club.


Crystal Palace

Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Manchester United (Ā£50m)

You may not expect to see a right-back on this list but, the first Ā£50m player on this list, Wan-Bissaka was a huge sale for Palace.


Brighton

Marc Cucurella to Chelsea (Ā£63m)

Another full-back! Cucurella moved to Chelsea in a deal worth Ā£56m rising to Ā£63m last summer.


Everton

Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United (Ā£75m)

A huge deal saw Lukaku move to Old Trafford and heā€™s since made two more, joining Inter (Ā£70m) and then Chelsea (Ā£97.5m) for huge sums.


Manchester United

Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid (Ā£80m)

A then-world record fee, Cristiano Ronaldoā€™s move to Real Madrid in 2009 remains the biggest sale in Manchester Unitedā€™s history.


Tottenham

Gareth Bale to Real Madrid (Ā£85.3m)

And Real Madrid pipped the Ronaldo fee (and set a new world record) when they signed Gareth Bale from Tottenham in 2013.


Aston Villa

Jack Grealish to Manchester City (Ā£100m)

The first Ā£100m signing in the history of English football, Grealishā€™s move to City two years ago will be in the record books forever.


West Ham

Declan Rice to Arsenal (Ā£105m)

A deal set to eventually eclipse the Grealish one, Arsenal will pay Ā£100m up front and a further Ā£5m in bonuses for the West Ham captain.


Chelsea

Eden Hazard to Real Madrid (Ā£105m)

Real Madrid are here again. They paid an initial Ā£88m for Hazard and a further Ā£15m after winning the Champions League.

The deal ultimately could have risen as high as Ā£150m but itā€™s unclear how many of the add-ons were achieved.


Liverpool

Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona (Ā£142m)

Though his time at Barcelona was not as fruitful as the club would have hoped, the entire Ā£36m in add-ons were achieved during Coutinhoā€™s time at Barcelona due to appearances and progression in the Champions League, making him the most expensive sale ever made by a Premier League club.
