MONACO

The Monaco and OL academies are very profitable!

Across Europe, training has taken an increasingly important place within clubs and some have even built part of their reputation above such as Ajax Amsterdam or FC Barcelona. These young trained players are also an opportunity to develop a source of income since the training costs quickly seem derisory after a transfer costing several million euros. The International Center for Sports Studies (CIES), which is based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, has just delivered its latest report and it concerns the sums collected for the transfers of players trained since the summer of 2015. France is particularly well placed.

Indeed, the palm of the academy having obtained the most money thanks to the sale of its players trained at the club is AS Monaco. The principality club has gleaned 246 million euros over the past 7 years. The flagship transfer is of course that of Kylian Mbappé to Paris Saint-Germain against 180 million euros, but we can also think of the transfers of Layvin Kurzawa (PSG, 25 M€) and Yannick Carrasco (Atlético, 15 M€). Renowned as a club that knows how to sell well and knows how to train well, AS Monaco is just ahead of Real Madrid. La Fabrica des Merengues is an immense source of talent and Alvaro Morata (Juventus €20m and Chelsea €66m) is the one who brought in the most money for the Merengues.

The Rhone club has obtained 228 million euros over the last seven years thanks to the sale of its players trained at the club. Behind, the top 10 is made up of other prestigious academies with Ajax Amsterdam, Benfica, Atalanta and Schalke 04.

Stade Rennais is the third French team in the ranking and comes in thirteenth place.
