10 most expensive squads in football - 2017

#2 Paris St-Germain

***

FFP and PSG were two major acronyms of the summer transfer window, with Javier Tebas, President of La Liga crying himself hoarse when the Parisians paid Neymar's massive release clause of €222 million, the costliest footballer ever.

All of that outlay by the Qatari-backed club, and they still do not have the most expensively assembled squad in football. Despite that, Paris St-Germain's squad took a massive €850 million to assemble, which includes a rise of €395 million.

PSG have risen up the table of the most expensive squads, and with UEFA circling with aims to bar the Ligue 1 side for blatantly getting aside FFP rules, they will hope that this assembly of stars can pull off a UEFA Champions League win.

Here are the 5 most expensive players in Paris St-Germain's squad:

#1 Neymar - €222 million

#2 Edinson Cavani - €64.5 million

#3 Angel di Maria - €63 million

#4 Thiago Silva, Javier Pastore - €42 million

#5 Lucas Moura - €40 million
