Let's take a look at the top ten most expensive transfers in the Premier League:

10. Harry Maguire - Leicester to Man Utd for €87m

Maguire moved to Man Utd in 2019 and became the world's most expensive defender at the time. Despite his high price tag, he has been a regular starter for the team, although his performances have faced criticism at times. He remains a Man Utd player at 32 and has surrendered the captain's armband to Bruno Fernandes.

9. Josko Gvardiol - Leipzig to Man City for €90m

Gvardiol joined Man City in 2023 and is considered one of Europe's top young defenders. The 23-year-old is known for his versatility and effectiveness in build-up play, and he is expected to develop further under Pep Guardiola's system. Gvardiol has been utilised as a centre-half and left-back by Guardiola, although the latter is a fairly new change.

8. Antony - Ajax to Man Utd for €95m

Antony joined Man Utd in 2022 as Erik ten Hag's marquee signing. The Brazilian is a player with flair, neat dribbling, and a creative eye, but he is still adapting to life in England. He has struggled at Old Trafford so far, especially after Ten Hag's departure, and ended last season with Real Betis on loan.

7. Paul Pogba - Juventus to Man Utd for €105m

Pogba rejoined Man Utd in 2016 after spending two years in the Red Devils' youth ranks. His time at Man Utd was marked by both exciting performances and inconsistency, with injuries preventing him from picking up a good amount of momentum. He is now a free agent, following the expiration of his Juventus contract.

6. Romelu Lukaku - Inter to Chelsea for €113.00m

Chelsea signed Lukaku from Everton in 2017 for €85m, but we will limit him to one entry on this list. Lukaku returned to Chelsea in 2021 for a club-record fee at the time, but his second spell at the club was marred by injuries. He now plays for Italian champions Napoli.

5. Moises Caiceido - Brighton to Chelsea for €116m

Chelsea fought off interest from several big clubs to sign the midfielder in January 2023. He is still settling into his new club, but it's clear he has the potential to become one of the best defensive midfielders in the world - if he isn't already.

4. Declan Rice - West Ham to Arsenal for €116.5m

Arsenal's only entry on this list, Rice joined the Gunners from West Ham in 2023. The midfielder is a key figure for Mikel Arteta's side, boasting defensive skills, a keen eye for passes, and being a leader of men. As was the case during his latter years at West Ham, Rice is recognised as one of the best midfielders in the world.

3. Jack Grealish - Aston Villa to Man City for €117m

Grealish is one of England's most talented players, and his big-money move to City in 2021 marked him as such. He is a creative winger, but he has yet to fully justify the whopping transfer fee the Citizens paid Villa for him. Linked with a move away from City in the summer transfer window, Grealish remains a part of Guardiola's squad and is a favourite of the fans.

2. Enzo Fernandez - Benfica to Chelsea for €121m

Chelsea's third entry in this list, the Blues broke the British transfer fee record in 2023 to sign Fernandez. The Argentine is a great passer of the ball and has already been promoted to vice-captain by the Blues. A vital cog in the Chelsea machine, some critics question whether the former Benfica man has yet to justify his massive price tag.

1. Florian Wirtz - Leverkusen to Liverpool for €135m

After a well-reported period of going back and forth on transfer fees, Liverpool agreed to cough up just shy of £120 million to sign the German star. It's a big number to hang over his head, but Wirtz has been a phenomenal player for Bayer Leverkusen and Germany in his short career, and wise money would be on him living up to the hype.
