2. Porto
Porto have a pretty solid business model; buy cheap from South America and then sell on their shrewd investments at a massive markup several years later.
The 2004 Champions League winners have made hundred of millions over the past decade, selling the likes of Falcao, James Rodriguez, Eliaquim Mangala and even United midfielder Anderson.
1. Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs are unofficially the world’s most prolific sellers – having recouped £236m in transfer fees from clubs in the top five European leagues between 2008 and 2014 – more than anybody else.
The sales of Dimitar Berbatov, Luka Modric and £86m man Gareth Bale make up much of this figure, which will come as no surprise to Tottenham fans who fear that Hugo Lloris or Harry Kane could be next.
