Affectionately nicknamed ‘The Computer’ for his ability to read the game, Mwepu became quite the fan favourite during his four seasons at RB Salzburg. Therefore, at first glance, Mwepu is the quintessential RB Salzburg departure. The sale goes hand in hand with the club’s lucrative transfer policy: buy young players, develop talent, and sell for millions. Headhunted before they knew it, Haaland and Upamecano managed just 33 appearances in total for the Austrian side before moving on to wealthier pastures. Likewise, RB Salzburg only kept hold of Mane and Keita for two full seasons before their respective departures to Southampton and RB Leipzig.
