Top 5 most expensive players in Barcelona's history

#3 Ousmane Dembele: Dortmund - Barcelona £97m (2017)

Deportivo Alaves v FC Barcelona - La Liga

Following Neymar's world record transfer to PSG in the summer of 2017, Barcelona needed a player to replace the Brazilian and they turned their attention to a certain youngster by the name of Ousmane Dembele, completing his purchase for the sum of £97m.

The French international had starred for one season with Dortmund in the Bundesliga and earned a reputation of being one of the highest-rated young forwards in Europe which was what convinced the Barcelona hierarchy to splash such a huge sum on him.

However a devastating injury suffered early in his debut season ended his campaign before it even started, while fitness issues and disciplinary problems have continued to hamper his development in Spain.

These issues meant that he has not proved his worth to Barcelona after two seasons and despite starring on occasions, there are indications that be could be on his way out of the club.
