Player. Bought For. Sold For

Jesus. £27m. £46.98m
Zinchenko. £1.7m. £31.50m
Porro. £11m. £7.65m
Itakaru. £630 thousand. £4.5m
Muric. Free. £2.7m
Total £89.33. £143.91
They’re like a dodgy landlord buying dodgy houses, tarting them up, then selling them on. The Matondo deal is another case of them cashing in. But as for home grown talent, unearthing Foden & Palmer stands out.
