#3 Zinedine Zidane: €77.5 million
The present manager of Real Madrid comes in at number 3 in the list of most expensive transfers. Zidane was signed by Perez in 2001 for a world record fee of 150 billion Italian Lira which came down to €77.5 million. Signing on a four-year contract, Zidane became the latest addition to Perez’s Galactico squad.
Zidane’s time at Real Madrid was more than the infamous Champions League final goal against Bayer Leverkusen at Hampstead Park. He was a rare breed of players standing out in a Galactico team consisting of Luis Figo, David Beckham, Raul, and so on. A rare blend of magnificence mixed with the ability to produce moments of magic is what made Zidane a world class player that he is renowned for today. The mercurial Frenchman is one of Real Madrid's most decorated players (and managers) in their illustrious history.
