1. Neymar Jr: Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain
Neymar Jr made a sensational switch from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain for an astonishing fee of €222 million in 2017. The Brazilian, on a quest to become the best player in the world, traded the Spanish giants for the French Champions.
The Parisians wanted to negotiate the price for the starlet but Barca cut them no slack. Fed up of the talks, PSG decided to end all negotiations and trigger Neymar's release clause. Barcelona tried everything in their power to convince the player; be it luring in his national teammate Philippe Coutinho or asking Barca players to alter his mind but Neymar just would not budge.
The offer from PSG was quite lucrative as he was offered to become one of the highest-paid players. Moreover, he was assured that the whole team would be built around him.
Despite claims made by senior Barca members including Gerard Pique that the Brazilian would be staying, he left to fulfil his dreams and PSG were successful in their quest. The French champions showed their might off the field as they pulled off one of the craziest transfers of all time.
