Manchester United, Barcelona and Newcastle United are among the clubs who have broken the world transfer record – but can you name the last 20 clubs to break it?
The last transfer record was back in 2017 when a certain Brazilian transferred 222 million euros from Barcelona to PSG.
The deal was controversial and much criticized by football’s old guard, but PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi defended the deal.
“Since day one, we have had a good relationship with UEFA and Financial Fair Play. Anyone thinking about FFP, I say go and have a coffee, we’re good,” he said after the deal was done.
“The only thing we care about is that we have worked very transparently with UEFA, otherwise people can say what they want.
“Today, it may seem expensive, but in two years it may not be. We will be making money together for years to come as this is a two-brand project. For me it’s a fantastic transfer. Regarding financial fair play, we have always been transparent.”
For a long time it looked like it might never be surpassed, but with the rise of the Saudi Pro League and rumors of an impending world-record bid for Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah – who knows?
