Neymar — Barcelona to PSG (2017) — €222 million

€222M. Still the world record. Triggered global inflation. Never won UCL at PSG. Single wire transfer.

Neymar's €222 million transfer from Barcelona to PSG in August 2017 remains the most expensive in football history, costing nearly double the previous record of €105 million set by Paul Pogba. PSG activated his release clause with a single wire transfer within 24 hours—a feat that triggered a market-wide inflation of transfer fees across Europe. Although Neymar scored 118 goals in 173 games, he never delivered the Champions League that justified the fee, leaving for Al Hilal in 2023 for €90 million.
