😮Subs boost top clubs: D.Luiz, Zalewski, Raspa, Thiaw bargains🤑 | OneFootball

This transfer window will go down in history as the market of extremely expensive surplus players. In fact, almost all the big clubs have been able to benefit from huge revenues generated by players who were not central to the project, or at least not indispensable.

Sales that have brought in a lot of money (in some cases, a huge amount) to finance an increasingly difficult market given the high costs, but which, through the ancient art of knowing how to sell, has become more accessible.

TARE'S MASTERSTROKES: MILAN'S TREASURE CHEST

Milan is experiencing a transfer window full of high-profile departures (Reijnders and Theo above all), but also true masterstrokes for marginal players. The sale of Thiaw is a Tare masterclass: around 40 million for a defender with potential, yes, but not flawless and not a guaranteed starter.

The 9 million from Emerson Royal is another brilliant move by the former Lazio sporting director, as are the 3.5 million for the fleeting Pellegrino. Okafor is also on his way out, for around 20 million, and the situation regarding Musah is still to be clarified: the utility man could leave for 30 million, but it's yet to be seen who will offer that amount.

DOUGLAS LUIZ UNLOCKS EVERYTHING, MBANGULA CAPITAL GAIN FOR JUVE

Juventus chapter: Douglas Luiz, the very expensive signing from last summer's transfer window, is one step away from England. The Brazilian will be sold for a figure over 30 million euros: much less than what he was bought for, but a "miracle" considering the disastrous season.

Juventus needed cash right away and for this reason, besides figuring out the Vlahovic situation—more for his salary (12 million) than for his transfer fee (the asking price is 20)—Mbangula was allowed to leave for a figure close to 10 million euros.

SURPRISE PROFITABLE DEPARTURES: INTER CASHES IN

Inter's earnings from marginal players have been nothing short of surprising. More than 16 million from Zalewski, redeemed for 6.5 from Roma, but also nearly 10 for Aleksandar Stankovic and 9 for Buchanan.

In an always delicate market situation, Inter has moved tens of millions of euros with players who have practically never played for the Nerazzurri, such as the 5 million earned from Martin Satriano.

NOT JUST OSIMHEN: LOTS OF MONEY FOR NAPOLI

Not just Victor Osimhen for Napoli, sold for 75 million euros in one of the richest sales in their history. Napoli also cashed in with Raspadori, over 20 million euros. Jack, although fundamental last year, was almost never a starter and the sacrifice was justified.

From buy-back deals, 9 million for Natan, 8 for Caprile, and 6 for Gianluca Gaetano. A few more millions, meanwhile, were collected from paid loans around the world such as Cajuste, Lindstrom, Ngonge, Rafa Marin, and Simeone.
