Trivia thread, the revival

[Evilo]

Both good answers.

Name the biggest mercato sells in the history of those L1 teams (with hints) :

PSG (Liga, 40M)
Lyon Ndombele (Tottenham, 62)
Marseille Batshuayi (Chelsea, 39M)
Rennes Dembele (BVB, 35)
Nice Seri (Fulham, 30M)
Toulouse Diop (West Ham, 25M)
Lens Openda (Leipzig, 43)
Monaco Mbappe (PSG, 180)
Lille Pepe (Arsenal, 80)
Lorient (L1, 22.5M)
Montpellier Mukiele (Leipzig, 16M)
Nantes Blas (Rennes, 15M)
Reims Ekitike (PSG, 28.5M)
Strasbourg Simakan (Leipzig, 15M)
Metz (L1, 17M)

 

[Evilo]

Ok the first one is older 4-5 years I believe.
The second one is from last January.
The third one is well known in the EPL and moved from Metz to a L1 team and one year later to EPL team.

Is the PSG one Guedes? That was a few years ago to Valencia but I didn't think the fee was that big

Lorient's number is weird as I believe they sold two players above that number. But it's from the same source so...

 

[Evilo]

Ok so more hints...
The Lorient guy rejected OM and at least an EPL team to go to another French team. He's a striker. IIRC he went for more than that, while another Lorient winger went to Bournemouth for almost as much.

The Metz guy is a winger. He spent the last few seasons in England. Some big teams were interested last summer. He has just transfered.

 

[Savant]

Based on hints it’s Dango Ouattara and Ismailia Sarr

 

[Evilo]

Ouattara being a winger it's not him.
Ismaila Sarr is correct.

Only the Lorient striker.

 

[gary69]

Wasn't Emiliano Sala transfer higher for Nantes? Or does it count, not sure it was ever paid completely?

At the time. But Blas beat it.

 

[Power Man]

Only the Lorient striker.

If it's not Ouattara the it has to be Moffi

(by elimination, both at 22,5)

Not sure what currency the fee was agreed on, but I assume in Euros. And who knows what currency rates were agreed to use (time of the deal or fluctuating if paid in installements?) This Skysports news mentions the fee being 17M euros, but it probably hasn't been paid in full so far.

"The CAS proceedings only concern the first instalment of the transfer fee in the amount of 6m euro out of the total transfer fee of 17m euro."

There were similar news from BBC. What are/were the French sources reporting about the fee?

They were saying Nantes would get 14M.

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Messi,Mbappe,Haaland, KDB, KK,Rashford,Kane without thinking about it too much and in no order I imagine these guys are on there?

I feel stupid but I’m blanking on KK…?

 

[Evilo]

Kvara is who he meant

Bruno F, Odegaard, Cherki, Neymar (though he only played part of the season but he was soooo amazing during it)

 

[Evilo]

Tripper is somewhere I believe.
In L1, Bourrigeaud and Cabella create a lot as well.

After all that just two names lol... wonder where the best player in the world is. Wait he's second on that list.

Anyway Bruno is one I should've put on the list and thought about.

 

[Savant]

Feels like Saka and/or Salah should be in there

Saka comes in at 8th @Savant

6 is kind of a tough one. Hint, he’s from the Bundesliga.
