Red Star paid €3.5m for Loizos Loizou. Against the club's own history of paying for forwards, that is the 3rd largest such fee on record.
| Player | From | Fee | Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cherif Ndiaye | Adana Demirspor | €4.0m | 2023/24 |
| Shavy Babicka | Toulouse | €4.0m | 2025/26 |
| Nemanja Radonjic | Roma | €3.0m | 2017/18 |
| Osman Bukari | KAA Gent | €3.0m | 2022/23 |
| Mateo García | UD Las Palmas | €2.2m | 2019/20 |
| Douglas Owusu | Radnik | €2.2m | 2025/26 |
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.
