Pictures: Paul Pogba and the world's most expensive footballers
- Published
Paul Pogba has become the world's most expensive footballer. Man United has signed him from Juventus for 拢89 million. It's a bit embarrassing for United because Pogba left the club for 拢1.5 million in 2012, but they clearly think he's worth a lot more now.
Coming in at number two is Gareth Bale, the Welsh dragon. In 2013, Real Madrid paid a massive 拢85.3 million to sign him from Tottenham.
Manchester United fans must have been a little disappointed when they sold Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid in 2009. But the 拢80 million they got for him should have made them feel a little better.
Gonzalo Higuain comes into our list at number four after transferring from Napoli to Juventus for 拢75.3 million. He may be fourth in our list but Gonzalo's transfer is the most expensive from one Italian club to another EVER.
When Neymar moved from Santos to Barcelona in 2013, the club said it paid 拢43 million, although an investigation later found that the club had actually paid closer to 拢70 million. The club said the difference had been down to a mistake.
