Sevilla most expensive player sales - How LaLiga side made almost €1 billion in outgoing transfers

Sergio Ramos graduated from Sevilla's academy alongside stars like Jesus Navas and the late Antonio Puerta.

After making his debut for them in February 2004, Ramos went on to feature for 39 games for Sevilla in the 2004-05 season.

In the summer of 2005, Real Madrid came calling, paying €27 million (£24.30 million) for Ramos, the record transfer fee for a Spanish defender at that time.

Ramos would go on to become one of Real Madrid's greatest legends, winning every trophy there is to win at club level.

Poland star Grzegorz Krychowiak joined Sevilla from Reims in France for €5.50 million (£4.95 million) in 2014.

Krychowiak became the fifth Polish player to win the Europa League in 2015 when Sevilla beat Dnipro in the final, in which he scored a goal in a 3-2 win.

He repeated the same feat in 2016 when he helped Sevilla beat Liverpool 3-1 to win the Europa League for a third time in a row.

PSG came calling in the summer of 2016, signing him for a premium €27.50m (£24.75m) fee.

Krychowiak moved on loan to West Bromwich Albion after just one season with PSG. This was followed by another loan move to Lokomotiv Moscow, before Krasnodar signed him for €4m (£3.60m) in August 2021.

He was then loaned to AEK Athens in March 2022 before making another loan move to Al-Shabab in the summer of 2022.

After three seasons with Sevilla since arriving for €15 million (£13.50 million) from Nantes, Brazilian centre-back Diego Carlos was sold to Premier League club Aston Villa in the summer of 2022.

The Villains paid a premium €31m (£27.90m) fee for the defender and Steven Gerrard named him as one of the two vice-captains at the club alongside Emiliano Martinez.

In August, he made his debut in the Premier League in a 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth.

In his second game, Carlos ruptured his achilles tendon and has since then undergone surgery.

Kevin Gameiro was revelation at Lorient, scoring 50 goals in 108 appearances in three seasons.

In 2011, PSG came calling, signing him for €11m (£9.90m).
The Frenchman featured for two seasons at the Parisian club, scoring 19 goals in 59 appearances before Sevilla came calling in 2013, signing him for just €7.50m (£6.75m).

Gameiro won the Europa League in the 2013-14 season, coming off the bench in extra-time and scoring the trophy-winning penalty in a 4-2 shootout win for Sevilla against Benfica.

He then went on to score against Liverpool in the 2015-16 Europa League final in a game that Sevilla won 3-1 to become the first team to win the Europa League three times in a row.

Atletico Madrid came calling in the summer of 2016, signing him for €32m (£28.80m).

After moving to Europe and joining Club Brugge in January 2012 from Junior FC in Colombia for €1.50 million (£1.35 million), Carlos Bacca said that he had fulfilled his dream to play in Europe.

This was just the beginning of his rise in European football as over the next year-and-a-half, Bacca caught Europe by surprise, scoring 28 goals in just 45 appearances for Brugge.

Sevilla were the masters of scouting such players and signed him in July 2013 for just €10m (£9m).

Bacca helped Sevilla to win the Europa League in his first season at the club. The Colombia striker went on to make 72 appearances for Sevilla, scoring 34 goals.

His performances saw Milan paying a premium €33.30m (£29.97m) for his signature in the summer of 2015.

Bacca later moved to Villarreal and Granada before returning back to his hometown club Junior FC in the summer of 2022.

Dani Alves, along with his then Sevilla teammate Seydou Keita, moved to Barcelona in the summer of 2008.

After signing him for just €550,000 (£495,000) from Brazilian club EC Bahia in January 2003, Sevilla played a crucial role in Alves' development at the club.

A move to Chelsea almost happened in 2007, but Alves couldn't join them as Sevilla rejected all of the Blues' advances. This coupled with the death of his teammate Antonio Puerta led to Alves staying on at Sevilla.

In the summer of 2008, Barcelona came calling and Sevilla earned a hefty €35.50m (£31.95m) for the defender.

Vitolo joined Sevilla from Las Palmas in the summer of 2013 for €3.20 million (£2.88 million).

In his first season with the club, Vitolo played 45 games in all competitions, scoring eight goals, including four in 16 games as Sevilla chased Europa League glory.

In March 2015, the Spanish striker scored the fastest-ever goal in Europa League history, after netting just 13 seconds to help Sevilla beat Villarreal 3-1.

This record of his was surpassed in September 2016 when Jan Sykora from FC Slovan Liberec scoring after just 10.69 seconds against Qarabag.

In May later that season, Vitolo assisted Carlos Bacca's winning goal against FC Dnipro in the Europa League final.

In the summer of 2017, Atletico Madrid came calling, signing him for a then club record €35.60m (£32.04m).

In 2021, he moved on loan to Getafe before being loaned to Las Palmas in the second tier of Spanish football in 2022.

Sevilla signed Clement Lenglet for €5.40 million (£4.86 million) in January 2017 from Nancy in France. The French defender had helped Nancy gain promotion to Ligue 1 after a three-year absence.

Lenglet featured for 17 league games for Sevilla in the second half of the 2016-17 season and was one of their best performers.

The 2017-18 season saw the best of the French defender including an incredible performance against Manchester United in the Champions League round-of-16.

Later that summer, Barcelona came calling, agreeing to pay Sevilla a premium fee of €35.90m (£32.31m) in the summer of 2018.

After winning La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup in his first season at the club, Lenglet also won the Spanish Cup in 2021.

In the summer of 2022, Barcelona sent him to Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur on loan.

Sevilla made Wissam Ben Yedder their most expensive transfer sale in history when they sold him for €40 million (£36 million) to Monaco in 2019.

In his three year spell at Sevilla, Ben Yedder's biggest individual moment came against Manchester United in the Champions League when he scored two goals at Old Trafford in the second leg of their round-of-16 clash in March 2018 to help Sevilla reach the quarter-final for the first time since 1958 and for the first time in the Champions League era.

In August 2019, Monaco came calling, activating Ben Yedder's €40m release clause. The striker has since gone on to make over a century of appearances for the French club.

After intense speculation linking him initially to Chelsea and then to Barcelona, Jules Kounde left Sevilla to join the Catalan giants in the summer of 2022 for €50 million (£45 million).

Sevilla initially signed Kounde from Bordeaux in 2019 for €35m (£31.50m).

The French centre-back made above 90 appearances for Sevilla in his three-season spell at the club with his performances also impressing the national team coach Didier Deschamps who selected Kounde as part of the squad at the Euro 2020.

Kounde also started in France's win against Spain in the 2021 Uefa Nations League final.
