#3 Riyad Mahrez – Leicester City to Manchester City €67.8 million
Machester City’s most expensive signing of the transfer window so far, Riyad Mahrez has impressed time and again while playing for Leicester City in the Premier League. Having helped the Foxes to one of the most surprising Premier League titles ever, the Algerian decided to stay with the Midlands club for another two seasons despite being in high demand.
This summer, the skilful attacker finally made his move to Manchester, signing for City on July 10th and becoming the most expensive African player of all time in the process. However, with the attacking talent already at the disposal of the City manager, Pep Guardiola, Mahrez may turn out to be the most expensive backup player in history.
