Antoine Griezmann — Atlético Madrid to Barcelona (2019) — €120 million

Antoine Griezmann's €120 million move to Barcelona in 2019 was preceded by a Netflix documentary in which he announced he was staying at Atlético, then leaving for Barcelona three weeks later — earning him the nickname "The Decision" after LeBron James's similarly theatrical announcement. Griezmann's time at Barcelona was unhappy and he returned to Atlético on loan in 2021 before making the move permanent. He subsequently became one of France's greatest ever international players — thriving away from Barcelona.
