Liverpool have been revealed as the most profitable selling club in Europe since the turn of the decade, receiving £374 million.

Fenway Sports Group have been regularly criticised for their approach to the transfer market since taking over the Reds in 2010, but they can’t be faulted for demanding value.

 

According to a study by the CIES Football Observatory, no club in Europe’s top five leagues has made more on player sales over the past six years.

 

The £374 million made by Liverpool since 2010 dwarfs that of any of their Premier League rivals, with Tottenham Hotspur the closest with £313 million.

 

Valencia are second, with £366 million, while Juventus are third, with £352 million, with Portuguese sides Benfica (£351 million) and Porto (£324 million) rounding off the top five.

 

Chelsea (£303 million), Southampton (£227 million) and Manchester City (£209 million) are the only other English sides in the top 20:

That seems high

(Not mine the below but seems right)

 

10/11 £80m spent £86m received

11/12 (first year under FSG): £56m spent, £21m received
12/13: £49m spent, £8m received
13/14: £49m spent, £29m received
14/15: £117m spent, £79m received
15/16: £78m spent, £63m received

 

so in total £429m spent and £286m received

They'd have been in charge when we received most of that 10/11 money that January?

It's a double edged sword. More recently we've achieved good fees for players sold from our bloated squad that we had little use for. That side of it is fine.

 

The other side of it, the high fees achieved for world class players we sold, sticks in the throat, as we could have had a team to win the league and stay up there regularly, rather than one or two flashes in the pan.

 

Hopefully Klopp builds something up. Early signs are positive.
