German club makes unbelievable profit from selling players

Eintracht Frankfurt earned up to 265 million euros from the sale of the trio Ekitike, Marmoush and Kolo Muani in just the past two years.

Hugo Ekitike was signed by Frankfurt from Stade Reims in 2022 for a fee of just €12 million.

With Liverpool agreeing to pay a transfer fee of 90 million euros to own Ekitike, Eintracht Frankfurt continues to demonstrate their excellent business ability in the transfer market. They will earn a total of 265 million euros from the sales of three strikers Hugo Ekitike, Omar Marmoush and Randal Kolo Muani in the past two years.

Notably, the German team only spent a total of 16 million euros to recruit this trio, turning them into impressively profitable deals, affirming the club's smart player development and transfer strategy.

Ekitike was signed by Frankfurt from Stade Reims in 2022 for a fee of just €12 million. The young Frenchman quickly established himself, scoring 10 goals in the 2023/24 season and continuing to shine in the 2024/25 season. From the initial investment of €12 million, the German team earned a profit of nearly 7 times.

Kolo Muani was previously signed by Frankfurt from Nantes in 2021 for free, thanks to his contract expiring. After two explosive seasons in the Bundesliga, scoring 23 goals and providing 17 assists in 65 games, the French striker was sold to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023 for €95 million.

In January 2025, Omar Marmoush was sold to Manchester City for €87.7 million. The Egyptian striker joined Frankfurt from VfL Wolfsburg in 2023 for just €4 million. These deals continue to affirm Frankfurt's ability to "buy low, sell high", with a profit of more than 20 times the initial investment.

According to Opta , in the past two years, Frankfurt, not Benfica, Porto or Brazilian clubs, are the ones who have made the most profit from the transfer market.
