Salzburg paid €4.8m for Damir Redzic. Against the club's own history of paying for forwards, that is the 6th largest such fee on record.
| Player | From | Fee | Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Noah Okafor | Basel | €11.2m | 2019/20 |
| Karim Adeyemi | U'haching U19 | €10.1m | 2018/19 |
| Erling Haaland | Molde FK | €8.0m | 2018/19 |
| Petar Ratkov | FK TSC | €7.0m | 2023/24 |
| Fernando | Shakhtar D. | €6.0m | 2022/23 |
| Sadio Mané | FC Metz | €4.0m | 2012/13 |
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.
