2. Radamel Falcao – Atletico Madrid to Monaco (€150.3m)
Transfer Fee €60m
With a net salary of €70m, divided over five years, Falcao will become a very rich man in Monaco – particularly due to the low tax rates in the principality, which allowed the club to offer him such a huge salary in the knowledge that only €9.8m extra would be expended on tax.
Commission to agents of €7m and a €3.5m signing-on fee for the striker take the total cost of the deal past the €150m mark.
