1. Neymar (Barca->PSG)

Neymar became the most expensive football player in history after moving from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017.

The Brazilian finished a fantastic four-year stint with Barca by departing Camp Nou for PSG in a €222 million (£200 million) deal.

The first time the world record for football transfers was claimed by a French club was with Neymar.

2. Kylian Mbappé (Monaco->PSG)

Kylian Mbappe, who signed a loan-to-buy contract with PSG in 2017 for €180 million after bonuses, is the most expensive teenager in history at the time of his transfer.

One of the most well-known players in the game, the Frenchman has previously won the World Cup and the Golden Boot.

3. Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool->Barca)

Philippe Coutinho moved to Barcelona from Liverpool in January 2018 in quest of accolades and success, and he succeeded by winning back-to-back league championships.

According to reports, Barca initially gave Liverpool €120 million, plus €40 million in add-on payments.

4. João Félix (Benfica->Atletico Madrid)

Joao Felix, one of the most intriguing talents in the world, signed with Atletico Madrid in 2019 despite being pursued by nearly all of Europe’s top teams in the months before to the deal’s completion.

After Felix made an identity for himself at Benfica, Atletico chose to fulfill his entire €126 million release clause.

5. Enzo Fernández (Benfica->Chelsea)

When Enzo Fernandez joined the Blues in January 2023 for €121m, he became one of the many faces of Chelsea’s transformation.

After some preliminary negotiations, Chelsea returned at the end of January to push the deal through. The midfielder’s price at former club Benfica had already risen due to his recent World Cup victory with Argentina in Qatar.

For Fernandez’s potential, they paid higher than they should have, so he still has a lot of selling to do.
