1) Mario Gotze – €26 million
This name probably stands out the most in this list. Yes you might say Mario Gotze hasn’t been at the peak of his powers in the last couple of seasons or so, but there is no denying the playmaker’s quality.
It was always going to be difficult for him to earn a spot in a highly talented Bayern Munich team ever since he made the move to Bayern from Dortmund three years ago. But now the World Cup winner is back at his first club.

Gotze at his best can unlock any defence, and has brilliant dribbling ability. As a teenager, he was considered Germany’s answer to Lionel Messi. Any player to be even compared to the Argentine's standards must be special.
United were even linked with Gotze in several windows but never made a move for him. Will they come to regret it?
