In recent years in particular, enormous sums have flowed into the Premier League, but also abroad from the Premier League. Ultimately, various clubs are in the hands of rich investors and they like to invest in players. The example of Newcastle United shows that it is not always the top clubs that attract investors. The following list describes the ten most expensive transfers in Premier League history and goes into the top 5 in more detail.
Top 10-5
Top 10: Romelu Lukaku (for 84.7 million euros to Manchester United, 2017/2018 season)
Top 9: Jadon Sancho (for 85 million euros to Manchester United, season 2021/2022)
Top 8: Harry Maguire (for 87 million euros to Manchester United, 2019/2020 season)
Top 7: Cristiano Ronaldo (for 94 million euros to Real Madrid, 2009/2010 season)
Top 6: Gareth Bale (for 101 million euros to Real Madrid, season 2013/2014)
Top 5: Paul Pogba (for 105 million euros to Manchester United, season 2016/2017)
Top 4: Eden Hazard to Real Madrid (115 million euros, season 19/20)
He was supposed to be Cristiano Ronaldo’s successor at the royal team – the result was certainly not what the fans and those responsible for Eden Hazard expected. But even the Belgian himself shouldn’t be too happy with his move to the Spanish capital. In the Blues, the Belgian established himself as one of the best players in the world. At Real Madrid he doesn’t stand out among wingers Asensio, Rodrygo and Vinícius at the moment. On the contrary: there are always rumors of a change about Hazard. Can he still come out of himself at Blancos and build on old achievements? In any case, so far one has to use the example of Gareth Bale and state that Hazard cannot be satisfied with his change.
Top 3: Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea (115 million euros, season 21/22)
Romelu Lukaku has also fallen short of expectations this season. Often criticized by the media, the Belgium national player was not able to score as often and did not exert the impetus on the Chelsea game as Thomas Tuchel would have liked. Of course, those responsible always remember the sum of 115 million euros that was transferred to Milan. The attacker, who is also 10th in this ranking, can generate transfer fees, which is due to his expensive transfer to Manchester United.
Top 2: Jack Grealish to Manchester City (117.5 million euros, season 21/22)
Aston Villa fans are not in good spirits about this move to Manchester City. More than a proud 117 million euros flowed from Manchester City to Aston Villa, so that Jack Grealish can now swirl as a winger in Pep Guardiola’s ensemble. It looks like the England international now has a good chance of winning his first English championship.
Top 1: Philippe Coutinho (135 million euros, season 17/18)
The Premier League’s most expensive move came in the 17/18 season when an in-form Coutinho, who enchanted everyone at Liverpool FC, left the Reds for Barcelona. However, the Brazilian always looked like a foreign body in the Catalans’ game. His strongest moment when he was under contract at FC Barcelona were his two goals in FC Bayern dress – on loan from Barça – against Barca – to make it 8-2. Lost time for Coutinho and a huge loss for FC Barcelona, which has since sent Coutinho back to Aston Villa in the Premier League.
