💸 Money Words: Buy vs. Sell

In football, teams do two opposite things with players:

1. BUY (Money goes OUT \rightarrow Player comes IN)

  • Example: "FC Bayern Munich bought Ismael Saibari."

2. SELL (Money comes IN \rightarrow Player goes OUT)

  • Example: "They sold Alexander Nübel."

Quick Tip for A2: Both bought and sold are in the past.

  • Buy \rightarrow Bought
  • Sell \rightarrow Sold
