Atletico Madrid officially announced the signing of Argentine striker Alvarez for a base transfer fee of €75 million plus €20 million in floating fees. Given the uncertainty of whether the floating fees will be triggered, for now, it is calculated at €75M. According to the “Transfermarkt”, Alvarez became the third most expensive Argentine player in history. Who are the top ten? Let’s take a look.
The highest transfer fee was paid for Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez who transferred from Benfica to Chelsea in the 2022-23 season for €121 million.
Second on the list is striker Higuain, who moved from Napoli to Juventus in the 2016-17 season for €90 million.
Alvarez ranks third with €75 million. Fourth is winger Di Maria, who moved from Real Madrid to Manchester United in the 2014-15 season for approximately €75 million. His ranking is relatively low because there are floating factors in the “Spider’s” transfer.
Fifth is Di Maria again, who joined Paris Saint-Germain from Manchester United in the 2015-16 season for €63 million. Sixth is Lisandro Martinez, who joined Manchester United from Ajax in the 2022-23 season for €57.4 million.
Seventh to tenth are: Crespo (from Parma to Lazio), €56.8 million in the 2000-2001 season; Romero (from Atalanta to Tottenham Hotspur), €52 million in the 2022-23 season; Icardi (from Inter Milan to Paris Saint-Germain), €50 million in the 2020-21 season; Otamendi (from Valencia to Manchester City), €44.5 million in the 2015-16 season.
In terms of the buyers of the ten deals, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have two each, Chelsea, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Lazio, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester City each have one.
