Some clubs, regardless of their fame and reputation, live by selling players. They bring in an anonymous talent who explodes and immediately try to sell him.
Although they were overshadowed by far more famous ones, the three transfers made by Sporting from Lisbon brought wealth to this club.
Sporting is certainly one of the more valued European clubs, but on the football map it is not so powerful and rich, so it is forced to “survive” by selling players.
The Lions previously signed Nuna Mendes, Joao Palhinho and Mateus Nunes for less than a million euros. This summer they earned an impressive figure.
Namely, the multiple champion of Portugal sold Mendes, Palhinho and Nunes for more than 100 million euros, for which they certainly deserve praise.
Mendes went to PSG for €38 million, while Palhinha and Nunes left for the Isles and became their clubs’ most expensive signings this summer.
Palhinha, who plays as a defensive midfielder, went to Fulham for 20 million, while Nunes to Wolverhampton for 45 million.
By the way, the 23-year-old midfielder became the most expensive player in the history of the popular Vukov, and now the expectations from him are huge.
Porto and Benfica, which, like Sporting, make great money every summer, have long been witnesses to the fact that Portuguese clubs earn more than good money from the sale of football players.
Thus, only in 2020, Porto and Benfica “robbed” Liverpool because they earned more than 120 million dollars from the transfers of Luis Diaz (47 million) and Darwin Nunez (75 million).
