Sporting closed the summer transfer window with heavyweight figures on a global scale. The Lions brought in €200.85 million from sales, a figure that places the club 7th among the teams that made the most money from sales during the most recent window.

A large part of Sporting’s revenue came from the departures of Morten Hjulmand and Ousmane Diomande, both sold for €40 million, and Francisco Trincão, who brought in €39.35 million. Added to these deals was Geovany Quenda, in a €50 million transfer announced earlier but only completed in the current financial year, according to Transfermarkt.
