With his 75 million move to Manchester City, Omar Marmoush is the most expensive winter departure in Bundesliga history and sets a record at Eintracht Frankfurt.
The SGE’s income rises to at least 78.5 million euros and dwarfs BVB in the historic winter rankings. Dortmund pocketed €74.5 million in January 2018, primarily with the sales of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marc Bartra to Arsenal for €63.8 million and to Real Betis for €10.5 million, respectively. In addition to Marmoush, Frankfurt also sold Jens Petter Hauge to Bodø/Glimt for 3.5 million euros and Faride Alidou to Kaiserslautern for an unknown sum.
Frankfurt’s revenue for the entire season reaches 125 million euros – the sixth highest figure in Bundesliga history. The SGE’s record comes from the previous season, when Randal Kolo Muani moved to Paris Saint-Germain for 95 million euros. At that time, Frankfurt generated 149 million euros; Bundesliga clubs only made more money from sales three times. BVB took first place with 271 million euros in the 2017/18 season.
Marmoush replaces Christian Pulisic, who was the Bundesliga’s most expensive winter departure with his €64 million move to Chelsea in January 2019. In the global ranking, Marmoush takes fifth place, the leader is Philippe Coutinho with his 135 million transfer from Liverpool FC to FC Barcelona in January 2018. Thanks to Coutinho, Liverpool holds the record for the highest income in one winter. – 137 million euros.
