Football's 11 Most Expensive Transfers - By Position
2. Centre Attacking Midfield: Neymar - £198 Million
Neymar Jr. is, to date, the most expensive football player of all-time.
Neymar joined Paris Saint Germain for £198 million in 2017 and completely shattered all other transfer records in the process. The Brazilian left Barcelona in hopes of stepping out of Messi's shadow and being the main man, and he has done just that.
He has his critics, to put it mildly, but Neymar's PSG stats speak for themselves: played 20 games and scored 19 goals, and with 13 assists for good measure. He sure as heck hasn't repaid his massive transfer fee yet and, if rumours are to be believed, he won't be at PSG long enough to do so. The jury is still out on this one.
