Savinho tops Manchester City's most profitable sales list

A report identifies Savinho's transfer to Tottenham as the most expensive sale in Manchester City's history, with the deal valued at up to 87.7 million euros. This figure significantly exceeded his estimated market value of 35 million euros at the time. The ranking compares sale fees to player market values since 2008. Cole Palmer's 47 million euro move to Chelsea in 2023 is second, followed by James Trafford's transfer to Leeds. Other players on the list include Danilo, Nico Gonzalez, and Riyad Mahrez. The report highlights Manchester City's financial acumen in player sales. Douglas Luiz, who never played for the first team, and Brahim Diaz, who featured in only 15 matches, also generated substantial profits. The list is completed by Kelechi Iheanacho and Tijani Reijnders.
