#7 Manuel Neuer - €30 million
Manuel Neuer joined Bayern Munich in 2011 for €30 million, following excellent seasons at Schalke, where his superb performances were rewarded with the goalkeeper spot for Germany in the 2010 World Cup. Since then, there's been no looking back for him as his game has improved over the years and earned him the reputation of being the best in the world.
He has revolutionised goalkeeping to the next level with his role as a sweeper keeper which he has mastered by his supreme ability to read the game and anticipate it. He's won accolades across the globe due to his performances in recent times like IFFHS Goalkeeper of the year 2013, 2014, 2015, and L'Equipe's player of the year 2014. His performances have made the club offer him an extension till 2021.
