6) Roberto Firmino – Liverpool – ÂŁ29million
The Brazilian playmaker could have found himself higher on the list, but the price-tag pushed him slightly further down the list.
It’s a massive risk signing for Liverpool as Firmino may not adjust to English football and with a price-tag of ÂŁ29million, fans of the club will have high expectations.
A stand-out performer for Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga over the past few years, Firmino was wanted by Manchester United, but it was Liverpool who won the race after coughing up nearly ÂŁ30m.
With the big price-tag on his head, Firmino will want a debut season similar to Alexis Sanchez, who was only a few million more.
