8, Neymar ($222,000,000) Barcelona to PSG
Anyone breaking this record looks to have an uphill battle.

Harry Maguire was acquired by Manchester United in 2019 for a record sum of money. He was acquired by Old Trafford for €87 million, making him the most expensive defender in the league. He arrived from Leicester City.

He performed well in his early years under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and shortly after, he was elevated to team captain. However, the English defender's situation has become worse since then.

Most Manchester United supporters dislike him because of his egregious mistakes, some of which were repeated regularly. Maguire has received a lot of criticism for his general play, and football fans now love to ridicule him.

Maguire is seen as a very terrible move as a consequence of the pressure that his signing cost has only increased. His self-assurance has been shaken, which has caused him to play sloppily and make even more mistakes.
