2) Manuel Neuer – Bayern Munich – £19m
Transfer fee according to FourFourTwo
Neuer signed with the Bundesliga powerhouse in 2011, and he has helped lead them to three consecutive Bundesliga championships while starting for the German national team in their 2014 World Cup title run.
1) Gianluigi Buffon – Juventus – £33m
Transfer fee according to FourFourTwo
It will be difficult to top this deal for a long time, as Buffon’s £33m move shatters everyone else’s. It’s hard to argue with Juventus paying this kind of money though, as he is the iron man of goalies. He has played 14 seasons with Juventus while making 423 appearances, in addition to his 168 at Parma.
Buffon has also led Juventus to six Serie A titles while making it to two UEFA Champions League final matches and winning the 2006 World Cup with Italy.
