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 £89 million. It's a bit embarrassing for United because Pogba left the club for £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 £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 £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 £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 £43 million, although an investigation later found that the club had actually paid closer to £70 million. The club said the difference had been down to a mistake.
