Granada CF paid €3.6m for Souleymane Faye. Against the club's own history of paying for forwards, that is the 7th largest such fee on record.
| Player | From | Fee | Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Luis Suárez | Watford | €10.0m | 2020/21 |
| Lucas Boyé | Elche CF | €8.7m | 2023/24 |
| Matías Arezo | River Plate | €5.7m | 2021/22 |
| Myrto Uzuni | Ferencváros | €5.1m | 2021/22 |
| Youssef El Arabi | Al-Hilal | €5.0m | 2012/13 |
| Darwin Machís | Udinese | €5.0m | 2019/20 |
A club's own precedent is the only fair yardstick for whether a fee is a departure for it. A number that looks enormous league-wide can be routine for one buyer, and a modest one can be a record for another.
