The Greatest Transfers In Football History
What is the best transfer your favourite club has ever made?
Lewandowski on a free, definitely one of the best modern transfers
Havertz won our 2nd champions league
Aguero to city, he was godly
Patrick Viera to Arsenal.
Ronaldo ;)
The fact that Ronaldo to Real Madrid isn’t number one is criminal by far the best signing ever
Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid should be on this list. All of these transfers were great, but if you see what Ronaldo achieved with Real Madrid closely, you will know how much important he was to the club. Before he came, Madrid had one 9 UCLs but had not won in eight seasons. They were getting eliminated in UCL at ro16 or quarters. After he came, he began to take them to semis singlehandedly. He came to Madrid, in Barcelona's era. Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Pep Guardiola were the key reasons Barca were succeeding. Whereas Ronaldo was the only standout performer in Real Madrid. Till 2012, Barca had 4 UCLs and Ronaldo had 1. When he left in 2018, both Ronaldo and Barca had 5 UCLs. Europe went from Barca's dominance to Ronaldo's dominance. He only won 2 La Ligas but was still a great signing from the League perspective. He became the club's highest goalscorer in just 6-7 years breaking the record set by Raul. 450 goals in 438 games. Some of the greatest players can't have 450 g+a in 438 games. Winning 16 trophies in 9 years and cementing Madrid's legacy was done well by Ronaldo.
Boring!!!! 😂I don’t want to read this text
@@TommyVdz2022 then don't read no one is forcing you 😂
good job bro. ronaldo is the goat
Ronaldo to Real Madrid is by far the best transfer ever
No, it was Cruyff! If he hadn't signed, the peak Barcelona system wouldn't be formed and thus Barcelona wouldn't have dominated Real like they did for most of the 20th century
@@pirmaiscalispagalma1479 I'm pretty sure he never achieved what Ronaldo achieved at Real Madrid
@@blackboywiththesauce2359 it's not about, which player achieved more. The video is called the greatest *transfers* in football history or in other words the transfers that benefited the *team* the most. And Barcelona benefited the most from Cruyff's transfer
@@blackboywiththesauce2359 The thing is Ronaldo's transfer was also the most expensive of the time. A great transfer is decided by both player effectiveness and the cost. Neymar to PSG would be considered an amazing transfer if not for the ridiculous price tag.
No ronaldo because Man United because it created his career
Ronaldo to real MADRID was the greatest transfer of all time 🙌 RONALDO to man United was one of the greatest transfer of all time 🙏
Considering the world record fee and Real had most of their success after arrival of others like Modric and Bale, CR7 to real isn't the best transfer of all time. I reckon it won't even surpass any entries in this list. That transfer was instrumental for Ronaldo far more compared to the club.
@@michaelscott107 you're just stupid mate just stick to American sports
@@michaelscott107 the thing is Ronaldo won everything at madrid and they sold him for even more then what they got him for So it's the greatest signing ever
Cr7 to real Madrid was phenomenal... From a Messi Stan
Alfredo Di stefano to Real Madrid they hadn’t won the league for more than twenty years until he arrived and then they went on to become the greatest club in history.
Where's Vardy? I mean he's not the best player around but it was a bargain. And he broke Ruud Van Nistellroy record at a team that were favourites for relegation. So he really should be on here
When Vardy gets half of the trophies and accolades the people on this video got, maybe it can be debatable. It’s insulting comparing him to these people.
Yeah well as a leicester fan hes the best striker my club have ever had
@@FRodriguez_ being great doesnt mean you have to win trophies
@@FRodriguez_ By tht logic Dani Alves is the best player of all time lol
At home probably
Maradona have never won the ballon d'or also on 1986 and 1990 non europeans players weren't allowded to win the award
Ronaldo to RM transfer was Greatest transfer i saw till now...🔥🔥RM became next level after he came🔥💣
Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid The success that can't be replicated
Ramos to real Madrid should be here
I'd like to think Ibra to Inter was a pretty glorious transfer too, hell Ibra in any of his trasfers would be a serious contender. But going from Milan to Inter has got to be both a huge shift in the power dynamic at the San Siro and also changed Seria A.
Ibra to Barca defo not a contender
Not a single mention of Real Madrid who are the kings of transfers. Their midfield last year, arguably the best trio in the history of the game cost them under 70M, ( Im including Valverde due to his time at the club and meteoric rise in the last few years) Casemiro cost 6M, Valverde 5M, Modric 30M, Kroos 25M. Those 4 players combined cost 66M. Real Madrids sale of Casemiro to ManU, for 71M +15M in possible add ons, offset the cost of these 4 transfers and will leave close to 10M in extra revenue, all this after RM enjoying a close to a decade of their best football. In my opinion Casemiro is arguably the best transfer ever, if you consider the results obtained on the field, and economically. I can easily mention 10 Real Madrid transfers that could have made this list by the examples chosen. Which personally I think was lazily put, focusing on the too much on the PL. Here is a good example why I say this. If Henry makes the top 3 in the list costing 11M, scoring 223 G in 376 GP for Arsenal, then I belive H. SANCHEZ deserves at least a mention, he cost 1.2M, he won the golden boot, 4 consequitive Pichichis, he scored 253G in 283 GP, that's 30 more goals than Henry having played 94 fewer games. The only reason he didn't receive at least one Ballon Dor for a few of his seasons in RM is due to that only Europeans were elegible for the trophy at that period in time. PUSKAS - came to RM for free when he was 31, he couldn't find a team in Europe that wanted him, he even said in a later interview that ManU amongst a few other teams told him he was too old, fat, and not good enough. He ended in RM for free were he won 3 CL and scored 157G in 182 games. Winning 3CL, 5 leagues, and was top league scorer 4 times. R.VARANE - cost 11 M, sold for 40M leavin 10 years of the his best football in the Bernabeu, and 30M. MARCELO - cost 6M became one of the best attacking LB in the history of the game, played 15 years at a high level with 25 trophies under his belt. S. RAMOS - 25M one of the best CB in the history of the game. 5CL, and scored over 120 G, at the moment ranked 4th alltime amongst defenders. F. HIERRO - cost 800 k , played 14 years at RM, won 3 CL, incredible defender but also had alot of danger infront of goall, reason he ended his career and is currently the second all time scorer amongst defence with 163 G only behind Koeman. CR 7 - I don't have to say much here they bought him for 94M sold him for 117M, that's 23M in profit after having played his best football and averaging a goal per game for RM over his 9 years there. DiSTEFANO - he cost 24K, scored 269G in 354 GP for RM, were he won 2 Balon Dor, 5 Champions (2 times runner up) , 8 leagues. He was was dominant all over the field, what alot of people don't know due to the little footage available is that he played free all over the field his defensive skills were as good as his offense. He was the total player. BENZEMA - 35M, 14 years later he is playing some of his best football. Current Ballon Dor, 5 CL. 4th all time scorer in CL only behind , CR, Messi, and R. Lewandowski. R. CARLOS- he spent 10 years in RM, a unique player that revolucioniced the LB position with his pace, shot power, and offensive skills. To many the best LB that ever existed cost RM only 6M. Its weird not a single Real Madrid mention with the history they have in finding and developing that talent. 🤔
Ronaldo to real madrid? He broke every record imaginable and won everything at real madrid. His 9 years at real are the reason he is considered one of the best players of all time
Such a great channel
Obvs Aguero was a crucial transfer, but if you mean greatest in terms of bargains I’d have maybe said Kompany for Man City. I don’t think he cost much, and went on to be the captain and a brilliant centre back.
“Johan cruyff is the most influential figure in Barcelona’s history” Messi: Am I a joke to you?
without cruyff messi would have never gotten a chance at barca
@@TomSports._ Ik ik
Johan Cruijff is not just the most influential player of Barcelona, he is the most influential player to ever exist. Most clubs play the game in the way that they do, because of his influence. If not for him, all of the other so called best players that came after him would not have been as influential as they are this day. In my eyes, that is a lot harder to achieve than winning a world cup, which should grand Johan Cruijff the title of the GOAT.
Lewandowski on a free is also arguably one of the best modern transfers
guys are we forgetting harry maguire to manchester united? probably the greatest transfer of all time imo
Cristiano to Real Madrid is THE BEST transfer in European club and possibly the world history.
Come to think of it Ronaldo was criticized for dribbling too much when he started, when he stopped also they are criticizing him
Super Frankie 💙
Johan cruyff is priceless, his blueprint was followed until Joseph bartomeu destroyed it all
Ronaldo to Real is and always will be 1# , it created the greatest rivalry of all time in football.
10 greatest transfers in football history excluding REAL MADRID ....Cr7 and di stefano the greatest 2 transfers of all time ...sergio ramos one of the greatest defenders and captains....zidane a galactico figure won cl as a player, assistant coach and 3 times as a coich
imagine if barca managed to get ronaldo in 2003...keep him and pair him up with messi when he came into the 1st squad with the likes of xavi, iniesta busquets, dani alves, jordi alba, puyol, pique...wow
probably wouldn't work out, just look at neymar situation. eventually one of them will leave
Kante to Leicester for 5m also should be here.
Wayne Rooney to Man Utd (btw did Gerd Muller get signed
Alan Shearer to Newcastle should have been on it and also Sergio Ramos to Real Madrid
Alfredo Di Stefano has to be on this, he is the signing that made Real Madrid the club the are today and the most recognisable & successful club on earth
What are the names of the soundtracks?
Fun fact in 2005 Inter Milan offered 300,000,000 euros (300 million euros) for a young Messi but Barcelona decided the offer because they predicted Messi would be the next big thing
Andy Robbo should be a honorary mention £8 mill from Hull and was intergral to Liverpool winning CL EPL WCC
Cristiano to Real Madrid is a waaaaay better signing than him to United! And also Di Dtéfano changed Real's history into what we know today
@@caduferreira3273 I'm not reading that Good for you though. Or sorry it happened
@@caduferreira3273 no one's gonna read that idiotic wall of text, learn to make your point across fast you dummy
May I just correct you on the most effective scoring midfielder of all time, Matt le tissier, not frank lampard. 2nd correction - dalglish is not an upgrade, how rude
Ignoring Lewandowski for free to bayern is maybe the biggest oversight in this video.
Ronaldo with 2 of the top 10 transfers of all time. 🐐
For mangers and by the way this is my opinion I say klopp cause he really change Liverpool a lot we were struggling with Brandon and klopp had lewedoski and Mario gotze at dortmund when he came well let’s just say the rest is football (soccer as will) history
Messi to Barcelona is the best transfer ever by far
In that Johan. Cruyff is the best
Honourable mentions would be nice
I was looking for this comment!
@@Steve6M its not like it was sarcasm or anything
id say cantona was a bigger transfer to Utd than cr7 cr7 was a bargain and deserves his spot but i feel more for Rma yes he's a big money signing but what he's done is well worth the money in fact he went beyond
Bryan robson! Legend on man utd.
Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid;the greatest transfer of all time
Ronaldo goes to madrid covers himself and his club in trophies and accolades, while having the most marketable face in the world. Leaves the club at 34 while getting the club 100mill in fees...
They really had tiny shorts back in the day...
Back then 80 million would get you Cristiano ronaldo,now it will get you Harry maguire or kepa😂
To think how cheap we got Ronaldo only 12 million pounds lol but I HATED when we sold him I was so upset
This should be called the most expensive transfers
bro maradona fucking clatted that guy at the start 😭
Messi joining Barca as a kid is the greatest of all time
No. Not even top 20
Maguire to Man Utd. Best
aguero have 5 epl trophy not 4
Without CR7 transfer to real Madrid,,,this is nosense
3:15 he’s scored more than that now
Henry is a way better signing than cantona
This is really the most underrated football channel you deserve more
Wow 😲🤣( i am feeling like a comment bot😂)
Maradona for 8m. And vlahovic for 75m. Seem funny to me 😂
Why?
messi to barcelona was by far the best, they literally sign the goat for nothing. rest is history
Lewandowski leaving to bayern on a FREE
Dalglish and cruyff over CR7. Dalglish made more impact to Liverpool than CR7 did to United, winning multiple league titles, fa cups and ucls over the span of 2 decades. CR7 on the other hand only stayed at United for 5 years and as good as he may have been, he was better at la Liga and dalglish was a machine in Liverpool and cruyff speaks for himself with the legacy he creates everywhere he goes
Arjen Robben to Bayern? And or Ribery Cmon :/
Disappointed to see James Milner missing in the list
Man United getting Eric Cantona for 1 million...
Paolo Maldini should be there too
And ramos
Maldini came from the AC Milan academy
Why maldini he spent his whole career at AC Milan and never commanded a transfer fee
Haaland to BVB... 65 mio. € in 2 years ist so much money for that club or lewandowski to bayern, the didnt even paid a penny for him guess this list isnt meant for german clubs?
I love how the most expensive player of all time wasnt included in this list Neymar This man led PSG to its ever UCL final and one of the greatest brazilian players of all time
That's the reason he isn't included He is most expensive player and only thing he gave is UCL final even Ronaldos 80 million to real Madrid is better transfer as it gave 4 ucls not just finals.
@@morningstar3997 Ronaldo to Madrid is the best Transfer Ever. Neymar didnt live up to his Price Tag At All he shouldve been 70M or something
He lead PSG to his first ever 2nd place UCL final wohoo what an accomplishment, the first team to lead the other 30 losers in the tournament
🤣🤣🤣
Lol you must be kidding right?? 😂😂😂😂
Agueroooooooooooooooooooooooooo
More like top premier league transfers of all time
Ronaldo 🐐
Agreed but which signing to which club
He's not GOAT, but he's the best and the second best signing of the football history (Real Madrid and Manchester United). Pelé and Messi played mostly for 1 club, so they didn't count.
Ronaldo to Real Madrid changed football.
where's maguire and grealish ?
Cruyff did not win 3 champions with ajax and gullit was bought 8n the same year as v basten
What about hazard to Real Madrid wasn’t that the best?
Funny xd
If Ronaldo would have gone to Barcelona I would stop believing in the faith of god!🤣🤣🤣
I don’t even believe in him so I would lose my faith in football
Mohamed salah to Liverpool
And shearer to Newcastle not ????
Earling Haaland to Manchester City
Really good too.
Why Cr7 to man united is one of the greatest? It should have been Cr7 to real Madrid
Because of the money involved makes the Madrid one invalid despite what he accomplished

6.9 mill haha
