Bayern Munich most expensive player sales - How Bavarians made over €580 million in outgoing transfers

Bayern Munich are not a selling club by default.

In fact, their sporting ambitions and success mean they are more of a buying club.

But that is not to say big players do not leave Bayern for pastures new. While some may have been looking for new challenges, some might be moving for sporting or economical reasons.

In the summer of 2022, they sold Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona for €45 million in what was a high-profile transfer saga.

It must be noted that while they've sold players like Lewandowski and Toni Kroos, a few like David Alaba and Niklas Sule have left on free transfers.

But still, Bayern have raked in over €580 million in transfer sales since the turn of the century.
