#3 Ousmane Dembele | €135 million
Barcelona have not spent their money wisely in recent years, and the €135 million they spent to sign Ousmane Dembele from Borussia Dortmund in 2017 has to go down as another poor deal.
In Barcelona's defence, Dembele was one of the best young players in world football when they decided to sign him to replace Neymar. The France international had enjoyed two excellent seasons with Rennes and then Borussia Dortmund, and was seen as an ideal long-term acquisition.
However, the plan has not worked. Injuries and lack of form have hindered Dembele's progress in Spain, and the 24-year old's impact has been limited since his arrival. In 118 appearances in all competitions, Dembele has scored 30 goals and provided 21 assists.
#2 Kylian Mbappe | €145 million
One of the best players in world football, Kylian Mbappe has achieved a lot in football at a very young age.
A prodigious talent, Mbappe enjoyed a stunning 2016-17 campaign with AS Monaco. The teenager helped them win the Ligue 1 title while plundering 15 goals and 8 assists in only 17 league appearances, to go with 6 goals in 6 Champions League outings.
Paris Saint-Germain moved quickly to sign Mbappe, initially on a loan deal, with the club signing him permanently the next year for €145 million.
The France international has made 171 appearances in all competitions for the club, scoring 132 goals and providing 61 assists. However, he could soon leave Paris Saint-Germain. Real Madrid are circling the 22-year old, and reports have suggested that Mbappe could move to Spain soon.
#1 Neymar | €222 million
The transfer that transformed the world of football. Paris Saint-Germain paid Barcelona €222 million to sign Neymar in 2017, completely changing the landscape of football.
One of the biggest names in the world of sports, Neymar is one of the best footballers of his generation. At Barcelona he formed a lethal attacking trident with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, and few would have thought that he would leave the club for the fee that he did.
Paris Saint-Germain triggered Neymar's release clause, much to Barcelona's shock. Neymar moved to France, and has made 116 appearances in all competitions, scoring 87 goals and providing 52 assists. He helped Paris Saint-Germain reach the final of the UEFA Champions League in 2020.
