It’s no secret that Neymar’s extremely lucrative $258.7 million transfer from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain set records, becoming the most expensive transfer of all time, and by a wide margin: not only is the Brazilian’s transfer the new world record, but it more than doubled the previous high (Paul Pogba’s $123.5 million move to Manchester United last summer).
Such a gigantic fee could very well change the scope of transfer fees, and may lead to more lucrative deals for other world class players in the future. It also got us looking at the past, and at the high-priced world of Latino transfers. From Hernán Crespo’s high-profile move to Lazio at the turn of the millennium, to Kaká’s less-than-stellar move to Real Madrid, and all the way to Neymar’s PSG journey, latinos are all over the top transfers of all time list.
We took a look at the 10 most expensive Latino transfers of all time, and what became of each of the players after their expensive transfers.
