Sacked Monaco manager sold incredible £750m worth of talent in four years

Leonardo Jardim was relieved of his duties this morning with the club languishing in 18th in Ligue 1. 

A factor for the club's fall from grace may be linked to the impressive number of players who they have sold. 

The likes of Kylian Mbappe, Bernardo Silva, Benjamin Mendy and Tiemoue Bakayoko all left, with Thomas Lemar and Fabinho also heading for the exit this summer.

James Rodriguez, Falcao and Anthony Martial are some of the higher profile departures over the past 18 months. 

The clus sold James to Real Madrid for £65.5m in 2014/15, with Radamel Falcao also joining Manchester United on loan (£6.84m) the same season. 

Emmanuel Riviere was sold to Newcastle United for £5.69, with Martial joining Manchester United for £54m the season after. 

During the 2015/16 season the club's selling culture continued. Geoffrey Kondogbia (£32.4m) and Yannick Carrasco (£22.28m) left for Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid respectively.

The club also sad farewell to Benjamin Mendy (£52m) and Bernardo Silva (£43m) who left for Manchester City. 

In 2018/19 Thomas Lemar's (£52m) Atletico Madrid swap and Fabinho's (£44m) Liverpool transfer helped earn an enormous profit for the club. 

Above all, Kylan Mbappe's transfer stands out. 

PSG paid a hefty £166m for his sevices, however he has already been paying that transfer fee back with vital goals.
