The world's most expensive football transfer of all time too place today, at 222 million euros or just short of 200 million pounds at today's exchange rate, after PSG, owned by Qararis, activated Neymar's release clause from Barcelona . These release clauses were not meant to be activated!
They have always been fantasy figures, at least until today. The record more than doubled the previous one, the 89 million pounds or 105 million euros that was spent on Paul Pogba by Manchester United to prise him away from Juventus.
