Atlanta has not only achieved great success on and off the pitch, but it has also become the "king of transactions" in the transfer market. According to data from the authoritative football statistics agency "CIES Football Observatory," this "magical team" of Serie A has made a staggering 236 million euros through the buying low and selling high of players in the transfer market over the past decade. This has not only given Atlanta a strong financial foundation for development, but its competitive results have also been on the rise, achieving fame and fortune on the Serie A stage.
Traditionally known for its excellent youth training players, Atlanta has cultivated many new star players, which are then sold at high prices to major clubs. In recent years, the most representative work is undoubtedly the sale of youth training player Diao to Manchester United for 40 million euros. In addition, Atlanta's scouting team has a keen eye and often finds "dark horses" in other leagues, including the acquisition of forward Hui Lun from Graz for 17 million euros in the summer of 2022. Just one year later, this Danish forward was sold to Manchester United for 72 million euros, becoming the most successful player transfer transaction in Atlanta's history.
This season, Atlanta sold midfielder Tern Kupmenas (Teun Koopmeiners) to Juventus for a transfer fee of 54.7 million euros, four times higher than the purchase price three years ago. There are also many key players within the team who have caught the attention of major clubs, with midfielder Edison Santos (Ederson Jose dos Santos Lourenco) being the most sought after. It is rumored that Premier League giants such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea are all interested in this 25-year-old Brazilian international. Atlanta bought Santos two and a half years ago for 13 million euros, and it is estimated that his current transfer value has risen to 50 million euros. The Atlanta management has been operating wisely for many years, and their current achievements are by no means accidental.
