Ever since the club’s marvellous success story with the great Eden Hazard from 2007-2012, Lille have emerged as one of Europe’s top selling clubs and a general developer of talent.

This summer was perhaps the greatest example, as Les Dogues recouped over €90m from the sales of Lucas Chevalier, Bafodé Diakité, and Edon Zhegrova.

More generally, in the last decade, no European club has recorded more transfer profit than Lille.

They have made close to €400m in profit in this period, with 49% of that coming from sales to English clubs, including Nicolas Pépé and Leny Yoro.
