5 players that can break the world transfer record
In 2017, Paris Saint Germain paid a jaw-dropping fee of £200m to make Neymar the most expensive transfer of all time. It is astounding even to think of breaking that gigantic record but, with the current madness going on in the transfer market, that certainly doesn't seem impossible.
As much as it is astonishing, Neymar's record move is equalling worrying for the football world. His transfer has certainly raised the bar for the insane fees paid by clubs for players, regardless their worthy price.
Surely, that madness is set to continue as clubs these days can go to any lengths to get their men.
Hence, it seems highly unlikely that the Brazilian's move will remain at the top spot for a long time. With that in mind, let's have a look at five players who can eventually become break the world transfer record.
#5 Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City)
Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus moved to Manchester City in the summer of 2016 for €30 million. At just 20 and in his first Premier League season, he has slotted in exceptionally well in Guardiola's juggernaut with 15 goals in 26 appearances under his belt.
He has put up a string of impressive performances for the Cityzens, displaying a level of maturity that belies his age. He looks menacing on the attack with his mazy runs and deafening pace, not to mention his silky finishing skills.
Try hard as they might, in no way can City bet on the talented Brazilian staying at the Etihad for a decade or so. With the number of eye-catching acts he is staging on the pitch, he is bound to attract bigger clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona in the coming years.
Needless to say, Gabriel Jesus will definitely be worth the value as he hits his peak by then.
