About this converter
Football Manager builds its transfer market from real world fees, and the real records still start with Neymar. Paris Saint-Germain paid Barcelona 222 million euros in 2017, and no deal has passed it since. This table ranks 14 record fees in euros on one scale, from Gareth Bale at 100.8 million to Neymar at 222 million. English reporting in pounds and continental reporting in euros drift with exchange rates, so every row below carries both the euro figure and the pound figure from BBC or Sky.
How to use it
Pick two transfers and a currency in the top row, for example Neymar and Pogba with euros. The three boxes below stay linked, so editing any number updates the other two. One box holds counts of the first fee, one holds counts of the second, one holds the total in the chosen currency. Try 1 Neymar against Bales to see how many 2013 records fit inside the 2017 one.
Add-ons split the lists, so this table follows the BBC method of initial fees where possible. Coutinho reads 120 million plus 40 in add-ons, Dembele 105 plus 40, Bellingham 103 plus add-ons to 133.9. Pound and dollar outputs use flat illustrative rates of 1.17 euros to the pound and 1.08 dollars to the euro, so non euro results are estimates. In game FM fees differ because each save generates its own market.
FAQ
What is the most expensive transfer ever?
Neymar from Barcelona to PSG for 222 million euros in 2017, about £200 million at the time.
What is the British transfer record?
Moises Caicedo to Chelsea in 2023, £100 million up front and up to £115 million with add-ons, which passed Enzo Fernandez at £106.8 million.
Why do euro and pound figures disagree?
Fees are agreed in one currency and converted at the rate of the day. This page converts pounds at a flat 1.17 rate, so euro outputs near the fee date are close but not exact.
Are these the fees in Football Manager?
No. FM sets its own in game values each save. This table tracks the real world record fees that the game models.
