Lisandro Martinez has everything agreed to be a new reinforcement of the Manchester United in a figure close to 50 million euros. If the pass is given, the Argentine will become one of the most expensive defenders in history, being one step away from integrating the top 10, of which 7 belong to the two teams from the English city, and with Van Dijk, 8 They are from the Premier League.
The most expensive defender in history is Harry Maguire What happened from Leicester City to Manchester United for 87 million in the 19/20 season. From the main ranking, only De Ligt (the second on the list that cost Juventus 85 million) and Lucas Hernndez (the fifth on the payroll that came to Bayern Mnich for 80 million) were not transactions of the English league. The podium completes it Virgil Van Dijk for which Liverpool spent 84 million in 2018.
Harry Maguire, the most expensive defender in history, unusual
The rest of the operations belong to the two Manchester teams, which have invested a million in the last ten years to strengthen the defensive zone: fifth place belongs to Rubn Dias (Manchester City 68 million), then they come João Cancelo (to Manchester City in 2019 for 65 million), Aymeric Laporte (Manchester City in 2018 for 65 Million), Benjamin Mendy (Manchester City in 2017 57.5 million), John Stones (Manchester City in 2016 by 55.6) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (to Manchester United in 2019 in exchange for 55).
But the list does not end there. Manchester United also signed Raphael Varane (40 million from Real Madrid), Eric Bailly (from Villarreal for 38 million) and Luke Shaw (37.5 million from Southampton in 13/14). While on the opposite side they were not far behind: Kyle Walker (from Tottenham for 52.7 million), Nathan Ak (45 million from Bournemouth) and Otamendi (44.5 million from Valencia) are other defensive transactions that occurred in the last decade.
In short, the Manchester United he invested nothing more and nothing less than 307.5 million euros in defenders alone, and won zero Champions League and zero Premier League.
For his part the Manchester City he spent 453 million euros, which allowed him to be lord and master of the Premier and enjoy his golden age, but they still haven’t achieved the title they most desire, the Champions League.
