Players who could cost £100million in 2024 and join Jack Grealish, Declan Rice, Moises Caicedo and others in exclusive club
An all-time recоrd оf nearly £5.6 billiоn was spent in the summer, accоrding tо FIFA’s September revelatiоns. English clubs alоne spent £1.5 billiоn оf that.There have been five moves for £100 million or more agreed upon in 2023 alone, with three players leaving who are international stars for England.
In January, Chelsea broke the British record for most expensive transfer ever when they signed World Cup champion Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for £106.8 million.
After that, they paid £115 million to sign Moises Caicedo away from Brighton, shattering the record.
At the same time, Real Madrid might pay as much as £115 million to acquire Jude Bellingham, Bayern Munich could pay more than £100 million to acquire Harry Kane, and Arsenal could pay up to £105 million to recruit Declan Rice.
More mega-money transfers are set to follow when the January transfer window opens in just under six weeks.
Midseason trades often fetch a premium price since teams are reluctant to give up their players for less than top dollar.
Since Mbappe has declined to stay in the French capital beyond 2024, it appears as though he will leave Les Parisiens.
Every indication is that he will be departing on a free transfer, with Real being one of the clubs being considered.
In 2021, Los Blancos received an offer of £189 million to sign him, but they have since denied rumors that they are on the verge of signing him.
In the summer, they can wait for him to be available for free, but in the winter window, they might make a move that PSG has no choice but to accept in order to earn a price.
He would make history if he became the first player to ever trade for nine figures twice, even if the price was as low as £100 million.The Liverpool player Mohamed SalahIn September, the Sаudi Prо Leаgue giаnts аl Ittihаd аllegedly mаde а recоrd-breаking аpprоаch оf £215 milliоn fоr the Liverpооl stаr.
The 31-year-old allegedly had a deal in place to leave Europe for the Middle East, with a yearly salary of £127 million.
Salah, a winger who had previously turned down a £150 million bid, was content to remain at Anfield, and Liverpool were firm in their refusal to sell him.
However, speculation about a potential transfer persists, as Saudi Arabia is reportedly planning to acquire Salah in 2024.
Who knows if Liverpool will be interested in getting their money’s worth out of Salah next summer, as his contract with the club is up in 2025.
