Left winger: Neymar (PSG) - £162 million
The record-breaking transfer of Neymar from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain was the key reason that occasioned an unprecedented inflation in the transfer market.
Having joined the Parisian club, the 26-year-old notched up 28 goals in 30 appearances in his first season, which was substantially curtailed by an unfortunate metatarsal injury.
With a penchant for showcasing flamboyant skills and always being the standout in his side, the Brazil international is touted to be the next big thing in football following Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Nevertheless, that seems far from happening as things stand.
