With the most recent sale of Pacific’s Emil Gazdov to CF Montréal, where does his transfer rank in terms of the Canadian Premier League’s highest outbound transfer fees?

Note: All of these numbers are approximates. All fees are in Euros.

1. Kwasi Poku (Forge FC to RWD Molenbeek) €500k
Poku’s rise at his new striker position got him interest from clubs across Europe and North America, eventually landing him a transfer in Belgium for a league-record fee.

2. Grady McDonnell (Vancouver FC to Club Brugge) €350k
McDonnell made the move to Club NXT–the reserve side of Belgian giants Club Brugge–in what’s currently the 2nd-highest transfer fee in CPL history.

3. Goteh Ntignee (Cavalry FC to FC Annecy) €250k
Ntignee’s performances with Pacific earned him a move to France’s 2nd division.

4. Tristan Borges (Forge FC to OH Leuven) €218k
Borges’ phenomenal 2019 season–which saw him win three individual awards, a league record to this day–got him a transfer to OH Leuven, also of the Belgian 2nd division.

5. Emil Gazdov (Pacific FC to CF Montréal) €200k
The most recent transfer: Gazdov’s Golden Glove-winning season generated interest across the three Canadian MLS sides, with Montréal landing a deal.
