AS Monaco is a club with a long history. However, the Monegasques are not only known for their football achievements. They also became famous for their ability to work well in the transfer market. Periodically, this club concludes deals that are extremely profitable for itself. Some of them are breaking records.

Bernardo Silva

Silva spent 3 years at Monaco. First, the Monegasques got the midfielder from Benfica and then bought him in the middle of the season for 15.75 million euros. In July 2017, Monaco sold the Portuguese to Manchester City for 50 million. Pep Guardiola drew attention to the player, after which he ended up at the Etihad, where he has been playing for five years. Monegasque Bernard helped not only financially, having spent 147 matches for the club.

However, there are rumours right now that Silva will leave Manchester City for Barcelona. Xavi likes the Portuguese midfielder a lot. If you press the 22Bet login button and go to the transfer odds, Barcelona is the first team where Silva can go to. Though, City have put forward a lot of conditions and the first of them is meeting the required sum for transfer.

Benjamin Mendy

Mendy followed Silva to Manchester City. Moreover, the Frenchman cost City even more than the Portuguese. In the summer of 2016, Monaco bought the defender from Marseille for 13 million euros. A year later, the Monegasques sold him to Manchester City for 57.5 million. This time, Guardiola missed the transfer. Mendy brought the club more problems than good. The Frenchman has not played for almost a year due to problems with the law. Such a downtime, combined with an arrest, can seriously complicate the career development of a once-promising defender.

Anthony Martial

The sale of Martial is a super-successful deal for Monaco. In the summer of 2013, the Monegasques bought a football player from the Lyon youth team for 5 million euros. After 2 years, they sold the player to Manchester United for 60 million. And this despite the fact that in Monaco the striker was not very productive. Next season will be the eighth for the Frenchman in Manchester United, but he has not become the club’s main scorer. Collaboration with Erik ten Hag is the last hope for Martial to play at Old Trafford. Otherwise, his departure from Manchester United will be inevitable. Manchester are already looking for a new striker.

Thomas Lemar

Lemar is another successful deal for Monaco. In the summer of 2015, the Monegasques bought Lemar for 4 million euros. After 3 years, they sold the midfielder to Atletico for 72 million. It cannot be said that everything is going very well for the Frenchman in Madrid. The footballer played well last season, but in previous seasons he had problems with both playing time and performance. In the last campaign, Lemar scored 4 goals and gave 5 assists. These are his best performance figures at Atlético Madrid. At the same time, the midfielder is still far from what he did at Monaco. Nevertheless, Atletico want to extend the contract with the player.

James Rodriguez

James spent only 1 season at Monaco. In the summer of 2013, the Monegasques bought the midfielder from Porto for 45 million euros. A year later, he moved to Real Madrid for 75 million. In his first season, the Colombian scored 13 goals and provided 13 assists for the Blancos. However, he did not sparkle in Real Madrid. With the arrival of Zinedine Zidane, dark times have come for the Colombian in Madrid. Now the midfielder plays for the Qatari Al Rayyan but declares his desire to return to Europe. Let’s see if he can make it happen.

Aurélien Tchouameni

The Tchouameni deal is still fresh for Monaco. The Monegasques bought the midfielder from Bordeaux in January 2020 for 18 million euros. In June this year, Monaco sold the player to Real Madrid for 80 million euros. Another 20 million Monegasques can receive bonuses. Real Madrid have made a big investment for the future. This transfer should justify itself. Tchouameni is considered a promising defensive midfielder who has all the qualities for further development. Under the supervision of Carlo Ancelotti, the young Frenchman should succeed.

Kylian Mbappe

Mbappe’s transfer is the most successful sale in AS Monaco’s history. While still a youngster, Mbappe joined the academy of the Monegasques. There he spent 4 years, after which he moved to PSG, first on loan, and then on a permanent basis. The Parisians bought the young striker in the summer of 2018. The transfer amount was 180 million euros. This is the biggest sale for Monaco and the second most expensive transfer for PSG. PSG paid more only for Neymar – 222 million euros. The French champions often spend large sums on players they don’t like, but they hit the spot with this transfer.
