A free kick specialist, an attacking player in the middle of defense. Futuro, present and quality in abundance for the French team.

Rio Ferdinand – 47 millions of euros (From Leeds to Manchester United in 2002). Nada más y nada menos que 47 millions came to pay in his day “Red Devils” for having an experienced defender, good in the ball exit and excellent in the air game.

Thiago Silva – 42 millions of euros (From AC Milan to PSG in 2012) PSG needed a safe defense and threw the house out the window in the Brazilian central. Despite its enormous price, I had many girlfriends. Barcelona also wanted it.

Luke Shaw- 38 millions of euros (Del Southampton al United en 2014). A bullet through the left wing that is learning that with just 18 years he signed for the 'Red Devils'.
