19 Antony (22) Ajax ? Manchester United 95?M 2022
20 Harry?Maguire (26) Leicester ? Manchester United 94?M 2019
*Fees vary slightly depending on source; I’ve chosen commonly cited figures.
Key takeaways:
The top six transfers are all €126?M or more, with Neymar’s 222?M deal in 2017 still standing as the record.
The list features big-money deals from 2013 to 2023, illustrating how transfer fees have skyrocketed in recent years.
Three players made the list twice: Cristiano Ronaldo appears for both his 2009 and 2018 moves, and others nearing top?20 have been consistently high-value players.
Most of the players were in their early to mid?20s, showing clubs buying top talent early.
