Recruited by PSG for € 222M in the summer of 2017, Neymar remains to this day the biggest transfer in football history . And this record is likely to last a long time yet…

Traumatized by the famous comeback suffered in the round of 16 second leg of the Champions League in Barcelona in 2017 and during which Neymar had been brilliant with the Catalan club, PSG had decided to launch a legendary counterattack a few months later on the transfer market! Indeed, Qatar had decided to exercise the option to buy Neymar from Barça , set at 222M €, to recruit the Brazilian star to PSG . A transfer which remains, to this day, the most expensive in history, but who will be able to beat this record?

The transfer of Neymar unbeatable?

Several profiles such as Kylian Mbapp é and Erling Haaland , very courted on the transfer market, act as strong contenders to bring down this record of Neymar . But the French striker of PSG is coming to the end of his contract and should go free next summer, while Haaland would have a clause that can be activated in the summer of 2022 and which could allow him to be transferred for only 75M €. Clearly, the purchase price of Neymar is still far from being beaten.
