Since the beginning of the 1990s, transfers in the world of football have become increasingly important economically. Since the arrival of the 'Fenomeno' Ronaldo at Inter in 1997 for 26.5 million today (in today's value), the record for 'most expensive footballer ever' has been broken almost every year.
It was precisely the 'Fenomeno' who had this title in the year of his transfer to Inter, but from then on there were many who could boast of this honour. In recent years then, and especially in this 2023 summer market, we are witnessing something truly sensational.
But which footballers have held the title of 'most expensive footballer in history'? Today we offer you seven of the best, the most famous. A lot of Italy, a league that dominated between the 1990s and the 2000s, but also a lot of stars who are still active.
