Football Transfer Fee Records
Looking at Chelsea’s massive spending in the last three years, it got me thinking about Madrid when they picked up Zidane and Figo for mammoth prices, and United when they brought in Veron and Rio and Rooney for big, big transfer fees.
So I dug up some stats, and as expected, while Chelsea have not broken any all-time records (thank Madrid for that), they have bought their way into the Premiership record books.
Let’s take a look:
Top Five English Premiership Transfers
- Andriy Shevchenko - 30(?) mil pounds - AC Milan to Chelsea
- Rio Ferdinand - 30 mil pounds - Leeds Utd to Manchester United
- Juan Sebastian Veron - 28 mil pounds - Lazio to Manchester United
- Wayne Rooney - 27 mil pounds - Everton to Manchester United
- Michael Essien - 24.5 mil pounds - Lyon to Chelsea
Top Five All-Time Transfers
- Zinedine Zidane - 44 mil pounds - Juventus to Real Madrid
- Luis Figo - 37 mil pounds - Barcelona to Real Madrid
- Hernan Crespo - 35.5 mil pounds - Parma to Lazio
- Gianluigi Buffon - 32.6 mil pounds - Parma to Juventus
- Christian Vieri - 31 mil pounds - Lazio to Inter
With the current slump in transfer market prices, I doubt that anyone would command a 30 mil fee like before. Ronaldinho and Rooney both would, but it’s very, very difficult to see them leaving their clubs.
Who do you think could command such a big transfer fee, regardless of whether they would be let go or not?

(1) As for Chelsea doing fine for the injury season the have had, we just need three players as everyone know that the defense has be breached so Alex will be falling in which will give Terry the chance to get back to 100%, and also a right back will be brought in as teams have broken in through that position Richards (Man City),Miguel Ricardo Costa (FC Porto) leaving the club in defense would be the worst player to wear a blue shirt K Boulahrouz, and as age has caught up with him Geremi will follow as well. The midfield just to let you all know Lampard will not be going anywhere C Makelele will leave us this season as he also has gotten old but he has served us well, the midfield is ok but if JM (Manager) decides to spice it up a bit Ricardo Quaresma (Fc Porto) Deco (Barca) all Portuguese so he has the talk as he is highly rated in Portugal but if not we are fine Ballack ankle injury have been sorted out that why he was so sloopy the season if its the sane he will be sent home no time for set backs. I am out of space see next posting.

Stevie G & Samuel Eto would easily command the 30mm fee.
Rooney is not worth 30mm & I dont know who would pay that for him outside of Newcastle.
Here are most of the players that would demand £30 mil or more:
Ronaldinho, Kaka, C. Ronaldo, Eto’o, Drogba, Messi… that’s it. None of them will leave their clubs this summer.
For a little less you can get the likes of Rooney, David Villa, Torres, Gerrard, Essien…maybe a few more.
The rest are cheaper, but there are plenty of millions to spend even on half-decent players.
What are you talking about? The likes of Steven Gerrard, Rooney, Essien would all command well over the £30 million mark! Rooney and Stevie G are without a doubt up there with the best and would not be sold without a record-breaking fee!
Forza Juventus!… Still holding the record on selling a player for the biggest price..
And alsot the biggest price for a goalkeeper..!!
Lets focus on the winter transfer window.
Riquelme, Diego are sure to move. Chelsea are working desperately after a striker. Their primary targets are David Villa and Eto’o. Ronaldinho is on the verge of moving with Bojan Kirkic and Dos Santos ready to replace him. Than Chelsea will break their bank.
