#10. Kaka – £56 million
This was the most expensive transfer in history for a month before Cristiano Ronaldo followed Kaka to Madrid. Kaka’s move to Santiago Bernabeu wasn't quite as successful as Ronaldo’s. The Brazilian was in top form before he went to Madrid. He won the Ballon d’Or in 2007. He played at Milan for two seasons before moving to Spain in 2009. Unfortunately for him, his time in Madrid was hounded by a number of injuries which coincided with a loss of form. He did have some remarkable moments in Madrid, particularly during the 2011-12 season but left the club to return to AC Milan in 2013.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic made the massive move from Inter Milan to Barcelona in 2009 in a transfer which also included the exchange for striker Samuel Eto'o to the Italian side. He spent just one season at Camp Nou before going to AC Milan. Ibrahimovic was reported to have had a massive falling out with manager Pep Guardiola, and they didn’t speak for the last few months of his time in Barcelona. Despite that, Ibrahimovic still won five trophies during his time at the club including the 2010 La Liga title.
#8. Angel Di Maria – £59.7 million
Angel Di Maria move from Real Madrid to Manchester United was a British club record transfer. Di Maria was one of an essential part of Real Madrid side which won the coveted La Decima in 2014. The Argentinean switched to a central midfield role and was far more effective, so it was a surprise when he was linked with a move away from the club. Di Maria made the massive transfer to Man United in 2014 and started the season in superb form. Unfortunately for him, he suffered a number of injuries and a loss in form and could barely get into the starting line-up towards the end of his first season for Manchester United. Di Maria left for PSG the next summer after just one season in the Premier League and at an approximated £15 million loss to Manchester United.
#7. James Rodriguez – £63 million
James Rodriguez replaced Angel Di Maria at Real Madrid. The attacking midfielder was the most outstanding player in the 2014 World Cup, scoring one of the all-time great World Cup goals and helping his Colombian side go on an incredible run to the quarter-finals. This led to the midfielder’s move to the Real Marid that summer from Monaco. The £63 million deal raised a few eyebrows, especially acknowledging the form of Angel Di Maria the prior season, but most of those fears were laid to rest during a solid first season in Madrid for James. The Colombian’s has since lost form and has barely played under manager Zinedine Zidane and is being linked with another move away from Madrid.
#6. Neymar – £71.5 million

The final figure was much more than Barcelona first let on, but the result is without a doubt. The Spanish side laid their hands on one of the most outstanding young players in world football. Neymar has no doubt played overwhelming well since joining Barca and was a huge part of their successful 2015 campaign for Luis Enrique’s men. He is one part of the most feared attacking line up on earth and given the Brazilian’s goalscoring record for club and country.
#5. Luis Suarez – £75 million
An important part of FC Barcelona frontline is forward Luis Suarez. Suarez was another controversial transfer, but FC Barcelona still went for the former Liverpool man. Suarez had just enjoyed an incredible season for the English side and was still in top form when he moved to Spain, helping Barcelona to a historic treble in his first season. The Uruguayan stepped up in his second season and won the European Golden Shoe after scoring an incredible 59 goals in 53 matches.
#4.Gonzalo Higuain – £75.3m

#3. Cristiano Ronaldo – £80 million
Cristiano Ronaldo moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2009 after six seasons in England.

Ronaldo has scored over 400 goals for Madrid in all competitions and must go down as an icon of the club.
#2. Gareth Bale – £86 million
