# player Season Nat. New club Fee
1
Neymar Neymar
Left Winger
17/18 Brazil Paris Saint-Germain £199.80m
59 goals In 80 games in the league
90 goals in 130 all games
Ligue 1: 2017–18,[360] 2018–19,[361] 2019–20
Coupe de France: 2017–18,[362] 2019–20,[151] 2020–21[363]
Coupe de la Ligue: 2017–18,[364] 2019–20[152]
Trophée des Champions: 2018,[365] 2020[366]
Par? Undoubtedly brought in to win a Champions League, which hasn't happened. Commercially I'm sure he has been a hit and a huge profile raiser for PSG. But for almost £200m he hasn't been pulling up Messi or Ronaldo stats.

Kylian Mbappé Kylian Mbappé
Centre-Forward
18/19 France Paris Saint-Germain £130.50m
88 goals in 99 in the league
130 in 154 total
Easy hit. Bargain given age and easily worth more than they brought him for by some margin.

Ousmane Dembélé Ousmane Dembélé
Right Winger
17/18 France
Mauritania FC Barcelona £126.00m
Big Fail Miss

Philippe Coutinho Philippe Coutinho

Portugal FC Barcelona £121.50m
Big Fail Miss
5
João Félix João Félix
Second Striker
19/20 Portugal Atlético de Madrid £114.48m
Major fail. 15 goals in 70 league, 22 in 94 total
Still young, but those stats are no better than you'd expect from some random youth team promoted striker.
6
Antoine Griezmann Antoine Griezmann
Second Striker
19/20 France FC Barcelona £108.00m
Fail. 22 league goals in 74, 35 in 102 total
Soon to turn 31. Simply not a world beater that the price tag dictated and basically caused Barca to be too broke to keep Messi.
7
Jack Grealish Jack Grealish
Left Winger
21/22 England
Ireland Manchester City £105.75m
Too soon. Par at best so far.
8
Cristiano Ronaldo Cristiano Ronaldo
Centre-Forward
18/19 Portugal Juventus FC £105.30m
Hit for the stats and records and trophies and commercial hit for sure. But very costly for his time.

Centre-Forward
09/10 Portugal Real Madrid £84.60m

14
Gonzalo Higuaín Gonzalo Higuaín
Centre-Forward
16/17 Argentina
France Juventus FC £81.00m
Fair hit 48 goals in 105 league, 66 in 149 total
Got good loan fees for him too.
15
Neymar Neymar

Hit given success and massive profit
16
Harry Maguire Harry Maguire
Centre-Back
19/20 England Manchester United £78.30m

He did improve things, but has never justified the price tag. That was a funny year for defenders, bad time to be in the market.

Interesting split here. Spending massively can be a real gamble, but you get it right it can be a game changer for the right players.
