One of the 10 most expensive central defenders. Maguire, VVD, De Ligt and Laporte were more expensive, could be a few more.

Maybe. It would make him the third most expensive defensive midfielder of all time, I believe. Its not a position clubs pay a lot for (strangely, perhaps).

Yeah I was shocked to read it. This is what he said (according to the Google Translate version of https://malivox.net/malienw-ne-baw-fai-yves-bissouma-balance-enfin-toutes-ses-verites-sur-magassouba/): “I almost died on my hospital bed. I remember I had to wake up two hours after my shoulder...
