#3 Hulk (€55.80 million)

Sven Goran-Eriksen pulled off one of the customary massive multi-million dollar moves of the window by signing Zenit St Petersburg's Hulk this window for Shanghai SIPG. The Brazilian winger seems like he's spent a lifetime chasing large money contracts instead of spending time with a club who could provide him with ample opportunities in the UEFA Champions League and Europe's top leagues.

Nonetheless, the fact that the 30-year-old is capable of drawing such huge wages is testament to his hard work and goal-scoring prowess on the field. Hulk was once touted as one of the many incredible stars to come out of Brazil but by playing in Russia and now in China, his time in the spotlight is likely done; there's also the matter of his age.
