💵 Teach us, boss! German club rakes in R$2.5 billion from sales | OneFootball

Every fan has regretted that their club sold a player for a price lower than they should have, but if there's a group that can't complain about this, it's the Eintracht Frankfurt fans.

After negotiating Hugo Ekitike with Liverpool for 95 million euros, about R$ 615 million, the German team has raised more than R$ 2.5 billion in sales, just with six center forwards.

With a budget below giants like Bayern Munich, Frankfurt bets on young players, with resale potential, especially if they don't have to pay for them.

Kolo Muani and Omar Marmoush, for example, arrived for free, as free agents, and were negotiated for exorbitant figures, with PSG and Manchester City, respectively.

Despite negotiating their highlights, Frankfurt has had solid campaigns in the Bundesliga. Last season, it was third, securing a spot in the next Champions League.

Check out the main deals of Eintracht Frankfurt below:

Luka Jović

The Serbian striker was hired by Eintracht Frankfurt from Benfica, initially on loan, in 2017, for "only" 200,000 euros, and was then acquired definitively, for a similar amount.

He ended up being sold to Real Madrid for 60 million euros, R$ 389 million, in 2019.

Sébastien Haller

The Ivory Coast striker was hired from FC Utrecht, in 2017, for about 7 million euros, and was sold to West Ham, in 2019, for approximately 40 million euros - R$ 324 million.

André Silva

Perhaps, the "worst deal" of Frankfurt on this list. The Portuguese was hired by Eintracht from AC Milan, in September 2019, with undisclosed value, but reports indicate that Milan paid 38 million euros to take him from Porto.

As he was in decline in Italy, Eintracht may have paid a much lower amount. After good seasons in Frankfurt, he ended up being sold to RB Leipzig in 2021, for about 25 million euros (R$ 149 million).

Randal Kolo Muani

The Frenchman arrived at Eintracht Frankfurt, in 2022, at no cost, at the end of his contract with Nantes, and was sold to Paris Saint-Germain, in 2023, for 95 million euros (R$ 616 million).

Omar Marmoush

Another one who arrived for free in Frankfurt, after the end of contract with Wolfsburg, in January 2023.

He gained prominence at Eintracht, and ended up being sold to Manchester City, in January 2025, for a value between 59 to 63 million pounds, depending on bonuses in the contract - about R$ 486 million.

Hugo Ekitiké

The Frenchman was loaned by PSG to Frankfurt in 2024, and ended up being bought for about 30 million euros, at the end of the 23/24 season.

On the rise in the Bundesliga since then, Ekitiké ended up being negotiated in this window with Liverpool for 95 million euros, something around R$ 615 million.
