Not that long ago, £50million could buy you an entire starting 11 but now that amount is barely that much in the footballing world. Teams (that I won’t name) spend ridiculous amounts to get the targets they want, some even paying grossly over what the player is actually worth. I count down the top 10 most valuable footballers in the world, this doesn’t take into account actual football transfer fees.
