RB Salzburg, a talent and money factory
Atlético de Madrid face RB Salzburg in the last matchday of the Champions League group stage. The Austrian team has stood out for being a talent factory, signing young players with great potential and then selling them for a good sum of money.
The most significant case is that of Erling Haaland, who was signed by Salzburg at the age of 18 and a year later was sold to Borussia Dortmund for 20 million euros. Other players who also passed through Salzburg are Sadio Mané, Naby Keita and Upamecano, who also ended up at Liverpool. The Austrian team has shown to be a well-oiled machine when it comes to signing and selling players.
