Top 10 players with highest career transfer fees

6. Cristiano Ronaldo

Former FIFA World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo stands at number six on this list on the back of his then-world record £80 million move to Real Madrid after a successful spell at Manchester United.

With a scoring rate of more than one goal a game, Ronaldo has become a massive success at Madrid, and is unlikely to move elsewhere after signing a contract extension that will keep him at the club till 2018.

Clubs played for - Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid

Combined transfer fees – £98 million

5. Radamel Falcao

Colombian striker Falcao breaks the top five of this list following a big-money move to super-rich AS Monaco this summer.

The striker moved to the Ligue 1 club for over £50 million this summer, and has already started raking in the goals, much like his form for previous club Atletico Madrid.

Clubs played for - Lanceros Boyaca, River Plate, Porto, Atletico Madrid, AS Monaco

Combined transfer fees – £99 million
