AS Monaco has been one of the most astute clubs in Europe in terms of their transfer dealings.
Buying and home-growing players for little to nothing and then going on to sell them as superstars for huge sums has been a their modus operandi in the past decade.
Monaco has sold an enormous £442.44 million worth of players in the last 8 years.
The list of elite players moved on by the club is truly mind-boggling. Had they not done so, the Ligue 1 outfit would have had the following players in their squad:
Subasic (released in 2020)
Kurzawa (sold to PSG for £22.5m)
Diallo (sold to Mainz for £4.50m
Fabinho (sold to Liverpool for £40.50m)
Carrasco (sold to Athletico Madrid for £13.50m)
James Rodriguez (sold to Real Madrid for £67.50m)
Bernardo Silva (sold to Man City for £45.00m)
Tielemans (sold to Leicester City for £40.50m)
Lemar (sold to Athletico Madrid for £64.80m)
Mbappe (sold to PSG for £130.50m)
Falcao (loaned to Man United and Chelsea for £6.84m and £6.3m respectively)
Now that is a star-studded line-up that any top European club would envy!
