Neymar Breaks Zidane’s Historic Transfer Record with Longest Reign as Most Expensive Player

Neymar Jr's officially set new world record in football history becoming the player who's held the "most expensive transfer" title for the longest period ever surpassing French icon Zinedine Zidane.

A Record Breaking Move That Shook the World

Back in summer 2017 Paris Saint Germain stunned the football world by activating Neymar's 222 million euro release clause from Barcelona making him the most expensive player in history.

This fee nearly doubled the previous record set by Paul Pogba’s 105 million euro move to Man United in 2016.

New Milestone Achieved

Now almost 8 year later, Neymar's broken Zidane's long standing record for the longest time spent as the world’s most expensive footballer.

This was confirmed by Transfermarkt marking another unique milestone for the Brazilian who recently returned to Brazilian football from the Saudi league.

Until then Neymar not only holds the most expensive transfer in history but also the longest reign atop the financial throne of football.
