Several days have already passed in 2024 and, looking at the football field, this means that the clubs that wish to do so have the freedom to maneuver in the market looking for reinforcements for the second part of the season.
During the last five years, Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City have been, par excellence, the colossi that have invested the most money in signings.whether in the winter or summer window, but the FC Barcelona He continues to be at the top of a particular ranking that also plays against the culés due to the poor performance offered by this player: The Catalan team, during the time of Josep María Bartomeu as president, closed the most expensive signing in history in January with Philippe Coutinho.
Let us remember that the Brazilian star, after a splendid stage in the Liverpoolcaused a disbursement of 135 million euros by FC Barcelona to finalize his arrival in Barcelona in 2017, but Only in his first campaign did the Rio playmaker live up to the expectations placed on him, already outlined.
The lack of continuity due to his countless injuries and the arrival of new renowned footballers to the club ended up ruining Coutinho’s chances of offering a top version as he did previously at Anfield and Barça did not take long to react, although assuming huge financial losses with this forced sale.
In this case, Coutinho continues to hold the privilege of being the most expensive signing in a winter period, but at Don Balón, taking advantage of the current discussions, we want to complete the top-10 that follows the Brazilian in this classification: After the current Al-Duhail player we find Enzo Fernández, who headed to Chelsea in exchange for 127M; Van Dijk to Liverpool for 85M; Dusan Vlahovic to Juventus for 81M; Mykhaylo Mudryk to Chelsea for 70M, Aymeric Laporte to Manchester City for 65M; Christian Pulisic to Chelsea, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Arsenal and Bruno Fernandes to Manchester United for 63M; and, finally, Oscar to Shanghai Port for 60M.
