FC Midtjylland sets Superliga transfer record with major player sales

FC Midtjylland has set a new Superliga record for player sales during the summer transfer window, generating at least 643 million Danish kroner (DKK). With potential bonuses, the total could reach at least 725 million DKK.

Key sales contributing to this record include Dario Osorio, Franculino Djú, and Aral Şimşir, all of whom commanded fees exceeding 100 million DKK. Other notable transactions involved Valdemar Byskov, Lee Han-beom, and Malik Pimpong.

The final major deal involved the sale of 22-year-old striker Franculino Djú to Trabzonspor for approximately 17 million euros. The transfer was completed in a high-pressure race against the UEFA deadline, with contracts exchanged just one hour before the window closed. Franculino reportedly requested the move to Turkey following discussions with former teammate Aral Şimşir.
