Top 25 most expensive Premier League transfers of all-time, according to today’s money
The January transfer window is not too far around the corner so we’re seeing plenty of rumours and speculation about possible moves.Already there are murmurings about Real Madrid plotting a 90million Premier League raid with Manchester United star Marcus Rashford and Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen their targets.
21These days, 90million seems cheap for stars of such quality, which speaks volumes about how the prices of footballers has changed over the years.In the 1992/93 season it was rare to see transfers above 2million with the biggest transfer Alan Shearer’s 3million move from Southampton to Blackburn Rovers.Even the 26.2million Chelsea paid for the recently retired Didier Drogba looks astonishing now but thanks to TotallyMoney.com’s transfer indexwe now know this deal is actually the equivalent of the Blues paying115.7million today.The credit report specialists took the average transfer values of players since the English Premier League began in 1992, and compared the increase in transfer costs over time.From this, they calculated a football player inflation to work out how much footballers would cost if they were bought today.And using this you can find what the top 25 most expensive Premier League players of all-time would be below…
