If many years ago we were proud of Igli Taren, Erjon Bogdan or even Lorik Can a little later, now, in today's times, Albanian footballers have created a colony in the most beloved championship for Albanian fans, the Italian Serie A.
The last two transfers of Steven Shpendi and Ylber Ramadani have increased the number of players who play for the red and black colors in the Italian elite, despite the fact that their number is many times higher in the age groups. Striker Shpendi moved from Cezena to Empoli for 2.2 million euros, a significant figure for a 20-year-old playing in Serie C, while Leçe secured the services of midfielder Ramadani from Aberdeen for one million two hundred thousand euros. As we look at these numbers, we can mention that in 2007, Erjon Bogdani was bought by Kievo Verona for three million euros or Lorik Cana who was paid 5.8 million euros by Sanderland of the Premier League. But what are the most expensive transfers of Albanian footballers?
10 transfers - The special thing is that it was not by chance that Empoli believed in Steven Shpendi, since if we go back not too far in time, we will see that the Tuscan club has sold three Albanian players and if we were to create a list, apart from Marash Kumbulla, who holds the record for the highest figure paid for an Albanian footballer (Roma bought him for 26.5 million euros from Verona), Empoli sold Kristjan Asllan to Inter for 14.5 million, Nedim Bajram to Sassuolo for 6 million, who also hold the place second and third, while not forgetting the sale of Elseid Hysaj to Napoli in 2015. The captain of the national team was transferred for 5 million euros at that time.
In fourth place is Lorik Cana, where in 2009, Sanderland paid 5.8 million euros to the French Marseille, where he wore the captain's armband. 80,000 euros less was bought to Etrit Berisha from Atalanta in 2017, when he defended the goal of Lazio. While in this list, Myrto Uzuni also took place. The 28-year-old striker was bought by Granada, who paid 4 million euros last January to Ferencvaros in Hungary.
Next, we continue with Mario Mitaj, who was only 20 years old last summer and paid a full 3 million euros to Lokomotiv Moscow, which received the services of the left defender from AEK. At the same price, Erjon Bogdani was sold in 2007, where after two good seasons with Siena, he was sold to Kievo Verona. The list of ten Albanian players who have been sold for the most money is closed by two names, Ardian Ismajli and Steven Shpendi, who have the same figure, 2.2 million euros. The defender moved from the Croatian championship, where he played for Hajduk Split, to Specia in Italy./Panorama Sport
