No expense spared as Ibrahimovic joins PSG

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s move to Paris St Germain from AC Milan has seen him extend his lead on Nicolas Anelka as the most expensive player in history, based on cumulative transfer fees.

The much-travelled Swede has now been transferred for an eye-watering tally of €188.3m, €44.6m ahead of another frequent mover in Anelka, who’s combined tally stands at €143.7m.

Argentine duo Hernan Crespo (€135.1m) and Juan Sebastian Veron (€130.7m) are third and fourth respectively with Cristiano Ronaldo (€124.6m) making up the top five ahead of his Brazilian name-sake in sixth (€112.8m).
