Diouf takes only sixth place: from Okafor to Embolo: these are FCB’s top transfers

Andy Diouf’s deal with Lens is set. That really makes FC Basel’s ailing box office ring. “Dilly Ding Dilly Dong”, to use the words of coaching legend Claudio Ranieri. The French transfer no less than 15 million to the Rheinknie. Those responsible are satisfied.

Diouf thus joins Bebbi’s historic top transfers. He left well-known players such as Mohamed Elneny (12.5 million euros), Xherdan Shaqiri (11.8 million euros), Albian Ajeti (11.3 million euros) and Noah Okafor (11.2 million euros) behind. It’s still not enough for the top positions. Diouf took 6th place with 15 million euros.

Top value is 26.5 million

Arthur Cabral, who moved from Basel to Florence for 15.5 million euros in the winter of 2022, is in 5th place. About ten years ago, Mohamed Salah brought in a million more for the residents of Basel. The third place goes to the Norwegian Mohamed Elyounoussi, who was transferred to Southampton for 18 million euros. Manuel Akanji reached second place with his transfer to BVB and a transfer fee of 21.5 million euros.

Breel Embolo is the undisputed number one. Schalke 04 paid the then 19-year-old 26.50 million euros in the summer of 2016. It is quite possible that the top ten transfers in Basel’s history will be given a new look in the coming weeks. After his excellent season, Zeki Amdouni should bring in more than 15 million francs. That too will put a smile on the face of the FCB bosses.
