#5 Paulo Dybala - €32m
Dybala moved to Italian club Palermo in 2012 and shot to fame after he enjoyed an eventful 2014/15 season where he was involved in the creation of 23 goals, including scoring and assists. The summer of 2015 saw several clubs vying for his signature until Juventus proved to be successful in capturing it.
Drafted in to replace departing fellow-Argentine Carlos Tevez, Dybala proved to be an astute acquisition as he repaid his manager’s faith and proved worthy of an enormous transfer fee. His performances were characterised by an excellent, all-round display all through his debut season.
During the course of this, he helped Juve win the treble of the Scudetto, the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana and also finished as top goalscorer for the club and second overall in the league in 2015/16, behind only Gonzalo Higuain.
The highly-rated forward was not part of the Argentina squad that finished runners-up at the Copa América Centenario but has been included in the preliminary squad for the 2016 Rio Olympics to represent the country.
