The deal blows the previous record,Paul Pogba's £89million switch to Manchester United,out of the water by more than £100million.
He's also said to be earning more than £500,000-per-week.
Given the size of the deal it's easy to forget how far the record has come since transfer fees became the norm; just 20 years ago the biggest fee ever paid was still below £20million.
Lets look back at the last 10 times the transfer record has been broken(over the past 20 years)
- August 9, 2016 - Paul Pogba (Juventus to Manchester United, £89m)
- September 1, 2013 - Gareth Bale (Tottenham to Real Madrid, £85m)
- July 6, 2009 - Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United to Real Madrid, £80m)
- June 9, 2009 - Kaka (AC Milan to Real Madrid, £56m)
- July 10, 2001 - Zinedine Zidane (Juventus to Real Madrid, £45m)
- July 24, 2000 - Luis Figo (Barcelona to Real Madrid, £37m)
- July 13, 2000 - Hernan Crespo (Parma to Lazio, £36m)
- June 8, 1999 - Christian Vieri (Lazio to Inter Milan, £28m)
- August 27, 1998 - Denilson (Sao Paulo to Real Betis, £22m)
- June 20, 1997 - Ronaldo (Barcelona to Inter Milan, £19.5m)
I believe the next transfer record wouldnt be anything less than £400m.
What do you think?
