#1 Gareth Bale - 86.3m
It's no surprise the top five players on this list play for Real Madrid and with Gareth Bale, the Spanish club, broke yet another milestone completely ridiculing the transfer market.
The mercurial Welshman joined Tottenham Hotspurs from Southampton for €14.7m in the summer of 2007 and sealed his move to La Liga giants Real Madrid on deadline day of the 2013 summer transfer window for a record-beating, eye-popping, mind-blowing €101m.
This was the first time a club had beaten the €100m mark and this was also amongst the first times that a British footballer was worth so much money. Gareth Bale hasn't been the kind of success Cristiano Ronaldo has been at Real Madrid but with age on his side has the chance to potentially be a pivotal player the world will remember.
