Transfers between Premier League clubs – The ten most expensive

10. Raheem Sterling (Liverpool to Manchester City, £44million, July 2015)

Finally, indisputably paid off his transfer fee with a starring role in City’s all-conquering 2017/18 Premier League record-breakers. When not spending too much or too little of his own money, he was scoring 18 Premier League goals and 23 in all as City romped to the title. And then he pretty much did it all again with 17 Premier League goals and 25 in all. It was his year.

9. Gylfi Sigurdsson (Swansea to Everton, £45million, August 2017)

This just about looks okay two years down the line, after Marco Silva decided that playing excellent No. 10 Gylfi Sigurdsson as a No. 10 was A Good Idea.

8. John Stones (Everton to Manchester City, £47.5million, August 2016)

Still not quite a Manchester City regular, but he now has two Premier League winner’s medals so he probably thinks he made the right move.

7. Fernando Torres (Liverpool to Chelsea, £50million, January 2011)

Romelu Lukaku left Chelsea in 2014 because he could not dislodge, among others, Fernando Torres at Chelsea. His move to Manchester United initially dislodged Torres from the top of this list. Sweet revenge, we are sure for the big Belgian.

6. Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Crystal Palace to Manchester United, £50m, June 2019)

In summer 2019, Wan-Bissaka signed a five-year contract with fellow Premier League club Manchester United. Crystal Palace would receive an initial fee of £45 million, with another £5 million due in potential bonuses. Upon signing for Manchester United, Wan-Bissaka became the sixth-most expensive defender of all time and the most expensive English player who was uncapped by the national side at the time of transfer.

5. Kyle Walker (Tottenham to Manchester City, £50m, July 2017)

While plenty baulked at the sheer massive size of the fee, a sober analysis revealed a deal that actually suited all parties. City got the best right-back in England, Walker got to go and win trophies, Spurs got a lovely big wad of cash and had a very useful replacement already in place.

The subsequent improvement of Walker’s all-round game under Guardiola, and the increased opportunities afforded to Kieran Trippier at Spurs have meant England were another massive beneficiary of this rarest of deals that worked out splendidly for absolutely everyone. Lovely.

4. Riyad Mahrez (Leicester to Manchester City, £60m, July 2018)

The slow, methodical dismantling of Leicester’s Fairytale Heroes by the Premier League’s big beasts continued into a third summer with Manchester City finally completing a big-money move for Mahrez, who was a solid 6/10 in a season which gave him a second title.

3. Romelu Lukaku (Everton to Manchester United, £75m, July 2017)

You might think that scoring 42 goals in 96 games would make you a success. Think again. He had to leave United to actually be loved.

2. Virgil van Dijk (Southampton to Liverpool, £75m, January 2018)

The biggest transfer fee ever paid for a defender, and it’s clearly a mad amount of cash, but it now looks like a bargain as the Dutchman basically became the best player in the Premier League.

1. Harry Maguire (Leicester City to Manchester United, £80 million, August 2019)

In July 2019, Manchester United made a £70 million bid for Maguire, a year after the club backed down from a deal because the same fee was considered too high. They made an improved bid, believed to be £80 million, which was accepted by Leicester on 2 August. The fee surpasses the £75 million Liverpool paid for Virgil van Dijk in January 2018, making Maguire the world’s most expensive defender.
