FCB plays in its own league: These are the record transfers of the Super League clubs

At the age of 19, the striker moved from the Rhine knee to Gelsenkirchen in the summer of 2016. Embolo was considered Switzerland’s greatest talent at the time. The price tag is correspondingly high. Due to some bad luck with injuries, no club will pay that much for the Nati striker. After three years at Schalke, Borussia Mönchengladbach bought him for 11 million euros. Another three years later, in the summer of 2022, he moved to Monaco for 12.5 million euros. He has not played a game this season due to a torn ACL.

Just a few months ago, Rieder replaced Djibril Sow as the most expensive departure in YB history. Rennes transferred a million more for him than Eintracht Frankfurt paid for the Zurich player in the summer of 2019. However, the ex-YB junior has not yet been able to justify the high transfer fee in France. In the first few months he did not progress beyond the role of additional player. He is currently out until the end of February due to a broken metatarsal bone.

At the age of 17, Rodriguez received his first contract with FCZ in early 2010. It is the beginning of a success story. In the winter of 2012 he moved to Wolfsburg. In Germany he is sometimes considered one of the greatest talents in the left back position. Five years later he went to the traditional Italian club Milan for 15 million euros. He has been playing for Torino for over three years now and is captain.

At that time, it was an incredible amount that the Monegasques transferred to Lake Geneva for the Brazilian in the mid-1990s. After his move to Ligue 1, the top scorer in the Super League from 92/93 really took off. In 1997 he became French champion with Monaco. In the same year he moved to Barcelona for 26 million euros, where he became Spanish champion twice. Then it goes back to France – to Lyon – for 19 million euros. He became top scorer twice and champion twice. He then ended his career in Qatar.

The Israeli striker took his first steps in European football with the Hoppers in February 2014 – with great success. Redbull Salzburg soon became aware of him and brought him to Mozart’s city in 2016. A year later he was loaned out again to GC. Then Dabbur leaves. After a season with 37 goals in 48 games, Sevilla bought him for 17 million euros in the summer of 2018 and gave him to Hoffenheim for 12 million euros a few months later. In Germany, Dabbur shows decent playing times. But in Austria he can never come close to the target percentage. Since last summer he has been playing in the United Arab Emirates.

Last summer, Lugano moved his Algerian striker to Belgium. At the wrong time? After all, it is now more than twice as expensive. Because he has made a huge impact at his new club. Across all competitions, he has scored 17 goals in 25 appearances for Royal Union Saint-Gilloise this season. During this transfer period he was already linked to top clubs such as Borussia Dortmund.

The winger is unlikely to be the most expensive Lucerne player in history for a long time. But this title is still his. For Vargas himself, the transfer to Augsburg is still the only one in his career. His name is always in the rumor mill. But so far he has remained loyal to Augsburg. This is also the case in the current transfer period. Serie A club Fiorentina is said to have been very interested. It would have been the next step in his career. But that doesn’t seem to be happening now.

First, the Vaudois loaned Amdouni to Basel with an option to buy. Because the Geneva on the Rhine knee had won the jackpot, the cash register opened in Lausanne and it was sold to Basel. That wasn’t long ago. We’re talking about last summer. Amdouni no longer plays in Basel, but in the Premier League. The newly promoted Burnley cost the national team hope 15 million euros.

The Ghanaian experienced his most successful years in Eastern Switzerland. Amoah became top scorer in the 1999/00 St. Gallen championship season with 25 goals. Two and a half years later he continued in Austria with Sturm Graz. But his career was no longer as successful as at St. Gallen. After a loan to Austria Salzburg, he moved back to Ghana in early 2004. Before he tries again in Austria from January 2007. But six months later he ended his career.

Amdouni is also the most expensive departure in club history at the second club from Lausanne. SLO transferred him to their city rival in 2021 after training. Since then, the neighborhood club has made a name for itself for young, talented players.

FC Basel put 800,000 francs on the table for Manuel Akanji in the summer of 2015, making a record transfer for defender FC Winterthur. Akanji has been released from this title since last week. He was replaced by a Bernese with Ballet. The winger now plays for Serie B club Como. Individual Italian media report a transfer fee of 1.8 million francs. This means that ballet costs about two and a half times as much as Akanji did at the time. He should make his debut at Lake Como this weekend against Ternana.

In the summer of 2009, Yverdon loaned the Ticino native to Xamax in the Super League. And that was when Gavranovic hit the jackpot and the loan was canceled after six months. Because a big club like Schalke 04 is knocking on Lake Neuchâtel and is ready to transfer half a million for the striker. This is how Gavranovic’s international career began in January 2010. Two years later he moved to FCZ on a free transfer, where he stayed for 3.5 years. He went to Rijeka in Croatia for 600,000 euros before moving to the great Dinamo Zagreb and enjoying successful years. Today Gavranovic plays in his home canton with Mendrisio in the first division.
