Barcelona Make Ousmane Dembele Second-Most Expensive Footballer Ever

Barcelona welcomed a new team member, but this time from Borussia Dortmund. The new team member is Ousmane Dembélé, and the French player’s move has been considered as one of the most expensive international signings to ever happen in Camp Nou, and what’s more; he is enlisted as the “second” most high-priced transfer in Football’s history.

It is reported that Barcelona purchased Démbélé for a fancy 105 Million Euros, with an additional 40 Million as “add-ons” for his course during the five years of his contract. It is also said that his worth will advance to 130 Million Euros is the short span of a year depending on his performance.

Démbélé dethroned neymar’s record upon joining Barca, since he costed a bulky 88.2 Million Euros as he moved from Santos. Luis Suarez ranked the third position, since the Uruguay forward moved from Liverpool for 81.7 Million Euros. Paulinho ranked the fourth place, for he arrived from Guangzhou Everhrande in return of 40 Million Euros.

In the fiscal ladder, Dembélé is the second expensive player in Football history, following on a row Neymar’s premium deal of 222 Million Euros. He decentered Pogba , who joined Manchester United for the same amount. Yet, the add-ons made his deal far more valuable than any of his French teams.

Neymar’s move broke the record and it is due to the inflated prices over the period of summer. Among the top ten most expensive transfers are: Romelu Lukaku and Alvaro Morata, who join neymar and dembélé following their move from Everton to Manchester and Real Madrid to Chelsea.
