But who are the most expensive sales, where are the players going and what became of them? An overview.

16TH PLACE – KEVIN KAMPL for 12 million euros to Dortmund: Kampl made the bend in 2015, but did not support himself at BVB. Quick change to Leverkusen, now back in the Red Bull cosmos. Just stop in Leipzig.

16TH PLACE – HANNES WOLF for 12 million euros to Leipzig: Exemplary Red Bull player: Via the youth and Liefering to Salzburg, then to Leipzig. There, however, without a chance, the move to Gladbach in summer 2020.

14TH PLACE – STEFAN LAINER for 12.5 million euros to Mönchengladbach: Salzburg also pulled itself up the endurance runner on the right-hand side. Like Wolf landed in Gladbach, but a regular player there.

PLACE 13 – DIADIE SAMASSEKOU for 14 million euros to Hoffenheim: difficult start in Hoffenheim, but currently set. But Samassekou has not really developed any further.

PLACE 12 – JONATHAN SORIANO for 15 million euros to BJ Guoan: Was the goal setter in Salzburg and just wanted to earn some real money in his old days. Career ended in the meantime.

PLACE 12 – XAVER SCHLAGER for 15 million euros to Wolfsburg: Another one from the talent factory. Great development in Wolfsburg, but stopped by two serious injuries.

10TH PLACE – MUNAS DABBUR for 17 million euros to FC Sevilla: wanted to go to Sevilla – and ran away again after six months. Things are going better in Hoffenheim, but not perfectly.

9TH PLACE – DAYOT UPAMECANO for 18.5 million euros to Leipzig: Upamecano’s career plan (so far) worked perfectly. May now play for Bayern and France’s national team.

7TH PLACE – DUJE CALETA-WAGEN for 19 million euros to Marseille: The Croat surprisingly chose OM, where he is now a regular in the defense, but there was more to it …

PLACE 7 – AMADOU HAIDARA for 19 million euros to RB Leipzig: The transfer from Samassekou: From Mali via Liefering to Salzburg. Haidara remains in the RB circle, but is only a role player in Leipzig.

6TH PLACE – ERLING HAALAND for 20 million to Dortmund: Afterwards, 20 million euros appear ridiculous. Haaland is one of the best in the world and maybe one day will be the very best.

5TH PLACE – DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI for 22 million to RB Leipzig: Surprise, another transfer to Leipzig! Other clubs also wanted the Hungarians perspective, but Leipzig probably offered the best …

PLACE 4 – SADIO MANE for FC Southampton for 23 million: Was already conspicuous in Salzburg, but the breakthrough only came in England. A world class player in Liverpool for years.

PLACE 3 – ENOCK MWEPU for 25 million to Brighton & Hove: Only a few people should know the midfielder. Slowly arriving in the Premier League. Fun fact: came to Salzburg for free.

PLACE 2 – NABY KEITA for 29 million to Leipzig: Should already go to England in 2016, preferred to do a lap of honor in Leipzig and then went to Liverpool. It is now an important factor there.

PLACE 1 – PATSON DAKA for 30 million to Leicester City: Most expensive transfer in the Austrian Bundesliga. After 46 scorer points for Salzburg, almost a bargain for Leicester.
