ClausesManchesterManchester United Generate Over £20 Million Through Transfer Market Movements and ClausesManchester United have quietly brought in over £20 million in transfer-related income this summer, largely through a mix of termination agreements and sell-on clauses involving former players.
While the club continues to focus on incoming signings under new head coach Rúben Amorim, these financial inflows are helping to support the wider rebuilding effort at Old Trafford.
Here’s a breakdown of the funds raised so far:Jadon Sancho – £5 millionSancho’s impending move to Juventus has reportedly included a negotiated termination clause worth £5 million.
With the winger no longer in Amorim’s plans, this deal not only generates immediate cash but also clears a significant portion of the wage bill.
Marc Jurado Carreras – £7 million (Sell-on clause)The Spanish full-back, who departed United for Real Madrid’s youth setup, recently made a move that triggered a substantial sell-on clause in United’s favor.
The club are said to have earned approximately £7 million from the transfer.Anthony Elanga – £6 million (Sell-on clause)Elanga’s solid performances since joining Nottingham Forest have led to another transfer move, from which United have benefited thanks to a sell-on clause inserted into his original deal.
This clause has brought in an estimated £6 million.
Toby Collyer Oyedele – £2 million (Sell-on clause)The versatile midfielder’s latest switch has activated a sell-on clause as well, reportedly earning United an additional £2 million.
Collectively, these clauses and transfer terms have already added over £20 million to Manchester United’s summer budget.
Although these are not headline-making sales, the club’s financial department is leveraging previously negotiated deals to help support Amorim’s transfer plans, including potential signings like Victor Osimhen, Javi Guerra, and Bryan Mbeumo.
As United look to reshape the squad both in terms of quality and sustainability, these behind-the-scenes financial gains are proving valuable in helping the club remain compliant with Financial Fair Play regulations — while still aiming to be competitive in the market.
More departures and sell-on triggers could follow as the window progresses.
