3. Eliaquim Mangala; Porto to Man City, £32m.
Mangala narrowly tops Otamendi, and the Frenchman’s price-tag arguably makes more sense given that he’s still just 24 and yet to reach the peak of his abilities.
However, he will likely be the one to suffer as a result of Otamendi’s arrival, although talk of a loan spell with Valencia as part of the deal has been dismissed.
