In an era when Bangladesh Cricket Match schedules share attention with Europe’s football calendar, Crystal Palace have become a rare example of a club that found a way to chase both money and trophies. For most European sides, survival often means choosing between financial profit and sporting success. Palace, however, have managed to say yes to both. Over the past two years, they sold three of their biggest core players and made close to 100 million euros in net profit, yet during the same period they also won three trophies: the first FA Cup in club history since their founding in 1905, their first Charity Shield, and their first European trophy in the Conference League.
In the summer window of 2024, Palace sold Michael Olise to Bayern Munich for 53 million euros. Before that, they had signed the winger from Reading for only 9.3 million euros, making the deal a major piece of smart business.
Olise then delivered outstanding performances across two seasons at Bayern. Last season, he produced 20 goals and 20 assists in 55 matches. This season, he went even further with 22 goals and 26 assists in 52 appearances, showing the kind of form that belongs in Ballon d’Or conversations.
In the summer window of 2025, Palace sold Eberechi Eze to Arsenal for 69.3 million euros. They had previously brought him in from QPR for 17.8 million euros, another transfer that turned into a huge profit.
At Arsenal, Eze recorded 10 goals and five assists in 51 matches. He also helped the team win the Premier League title and reach the Champions League final, proving that Palace had sold not just a useful player, but a genuine top-level contributor.
During the winter window of 2025, Palace also sold captain and defensive leader Marc Guehi to Manchester City when he had only half a year left on his contract. The transfer fee was 23 million euros, which was almost level with the 23.3 million euros Palace had paid when signing him from Chelsea.
After joining Manchester City, Guehi produced two goals and one assist in 20 matches. He also became part of a team that won the League Cup and the FA Cup, although in practical terms, because he did not move before the League Cup semi-final stage, he was not included in the final squad list and did not receive a winners medal for that competition.
The three players sold by Crystal Palace were all central figures in the team. Their destinations say everything about their level. One became a major player for the German champion, another became important for the Premier League champion, and the third joined one of England’s strongest title-level squads. For fans moving between Bangladesh Cricket Match routines and European football results, Palace’s model looks like a rare case of selling high without falling apart.
Across these three transfers, Crystal Palace collected a total of 145.3 million euros. Considering that the combined cost of signing Olise, Eze, and Guehi was only 50.4 million euros, the club made 94.9 million euros from the trio, which is close to 100 million euros. In football terms, that is not just good accounting; it is hitting the nail on the head.
As BD Cricket Match coverage fills another busy sporting week, Crystal Palace’s story shows how a well-run club can lose stars without losing direction. They sold three pillars, earned a fortune, and still brought home three first-time trophies. For a club that had waited more than a century for major glory, this two-year spell has turned smart trading into history, proving that careful planning can sometimes carry a team further than simply holding on to every famous name.
