#3 Paul Pogba becoming the most expensive player in the world
On 8 August 2016, French superstar midfielder Paul Pogba returned to his former club Manchester United, on a five-year contract for an all-time record for the highest ever transfer fee at €105 million (£89.3 million) plus bonuses of €5 million, surpassing the former record holder Gareth Bale.
Bale commanded a transfer fee of £85.3 million (€100 million) when he moved to Real Madrid from Spurs in 2013. However, looking at the sudden rise in player values, Pogba might not remain the most expensive player ever by the next World Cup.
