The most expensive transfer in the history of football. Top 5

Fans have always been interested in the topic of transfers. Particularly hotly discussed are the amounts involved. We will consider the five most expensive transitions of football players. Transfers 2013 in comparison with them will seem just a trifle. So, let's get started.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo

This Portuguese unique takes the first place in the rating "The most expensive transfer in the history of football." Negotiations lasted eighteen months and ended in 2009. Ronaldo always said that he dreamed of playing in the "Real". And this dream came true. From Manchester, he left, as befits a real star: without scandals, intrigues and investigations. Finally, Cristiano admitted that Ferguson was for him, like his own father. "Real" never regretted the spent 94 million euros, because Ronaldo is still excellent, regularly scoring goals, and advertises his native club on a world scale. The only thing that has not yet been achieved by the leader of the rating "The most expensive transfer in football" is to win in the new team of the Champions League. It seems to us that everything is ahead of him!

2. Zinedine Zidane

73.5 million euros - just an unrealistic sum for a football player, who is about to turn thirty. Only if you do not know that his name is Zidane. Yes, and in 35 Zinedine would be worth this money. At least half the amount. Moving in 2001 from Juventus to Real Madrid, Zidane won the Champions League with him. All the fans remember that amazing goal, scored to them by "Bayer" in the final match. Congratulations to the brilliant Frenchman with the second place in the rating "The most expensive transfer in the history of football"

3. Zlatan Ibrahimović

To be honest, the "Barcelona", having paid in 2009 69.5 million euros for this player, just threw them into the pipe. For a while Zlatan looked as good as in "Inter", but did not succeed in doing something significant. According to Ibrahimovic himself, he was not allowed to play. In the attack was always Messi, but he was unjustly sacrificed. Before leaving, Zlatan called the whole team a bunch of second-graders who did not have their own opinion. Barca coach Pep Guardiola responded more restrainedly: "Ibrahimovic just did not get accustomed to our team"

4. Kaka

Almost five years ago, a transfer of 65 million euros looked very logical. The decision of "Real" was quite adequate, because Kaka was considered the best football player in the world. But, unfortunately, the former player of "Milan" began a series of psychological problems and injuries, because of which the great Brazilian has strongly surrendered in shape. So now he is playing in the "Real" on the substitution and not against returning to his last club. Let's hope that the fourth place in the rating "The most expensive transfer in the history of football" will at least somehow support it. We wish him a speedy restoration of form.

5. Luis Figo

And closes the rating "The most expensive transfer in the history of football" player, who was nicknamed the Portuguese "Judas". Luis was honored to play in the two best Spanish clubs: "Barcelona" and "Real". Transfer from the first club to the second cost 60 million euros. Undoubtedly, for the "royal club" this was a profitable investment. Figo quickly became the team leader and won the Champions League with her. Fans of "Barca" still have not forgiven him the transition to the den of the worst enemy.
