  • Record Breakers the RISE, RISE and RISE of the WORLD RECORD TRANSFER FEE in FOOTBALL
    Record breakers THE RISE, RISE AND RISE OF THE WORLD RECORD TRANSFER FEE IN FOOTBALL With the summer 2016 football transfer window now closed, pundits are taking stock of a frenzy of deals headlined by Paul Pogba’s record-breaking move to Manchester United. But economists are taking note too. In a summer which saw English Premier League clubs collectively spend more than £1 billion on transfers for the first time, Pogba’s £89 million (€105 million) price tag makes him the world’s most expensive transfer to date – at least by some measures. In this bulletin we explore the seemingly unstoppable rise in the world record transfer fee over time. And – in light of the increasing globalisation of football, new money from billionaire owners and lucrative deals for TV rights – we ask just how much higher fees might rise in the future. POGBA – THE FIRST €100 MILLION MAN Giuseppe Savoldi became the first player to be transferred for more than £1 million when he was bought by Napoli from Bologna in the Italian league back in 1975. Fast forward 41 years to 2016, and Paul Pogba’s transfer from Juventus to Manchester United makes him the latest player to hold the title of the world’s most expensive player in a deal estimated to be worth at least £89 million (€105 million). Ironically, Juventus had originally bought Pogba from Manchester United just four years previously in a deal worth just £1.5 million. Figure 1. The elite club of world transfers Source: Frontier analysis of BBC data August 2016 August 2016 frontier economics Figure 1 above shows every world record transfer from Savoldi to Pogba.

Benzema is always an option as the team progresses to attacking the goal. Ramos again showed nerves of steel to chip the ball into the net from the spot after a VAR review for a handball by defender Marc Bartra, who appeared to have been pushed by visiting forward Borja Mayoral. The Morocco striker also scored a treble two weeks ago. It is understood that with Benzema playing, he is the first line of attack amongst the BBC trio. The two goals made him the top French scorer in La Liga history surpassing Zidane.
