FC Barcelona's Top 5 most expensive signings of all-time

FC Barcelona has always been one of the giants in the football transfer market in swooping talents to empower the squad every other season. The club paid astronomical fees for some players who lived up to the price tag but some failed miserably.

In this article, we present the 5 most expensive signings in the history of FC Barcelona.

5. Frenkie de Jong | €86M | 2019-20

Frenkie De Jong was a crucial part of Erik Ten Hag's formidable Ajax side that made it to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the 2018-19 season. After dropping masterclass performances throughout that season, the Dutch midfielder became one of the topmost priorities for many European clubs in the summer transfer market of 2019.

FC Barcelona ultimately roped him in from Ajax after cracking the initial deal of €75M and then with €11 add-ons, making it a total transfer package of €86M

Frenkie initially took time to settle in Barcelona as the coach at that time, Ernesto Valverde left the club in January 2020 and his successor Quique Setién was sacked after the famous 2-8 defeat against Bayern in August 2020. 

However, Frenkie missed numerous matches since his arrival for his injury-proneness, but he was instrumental in winning the 2022-23 La Liga playing under Xavi. He has also won the Copa Del Rey 2020-21 and the Supercopa De Espana in 2023 for the Blaugranas. Currently, he is struggling with an ankle injury and is out of the squad. 

4. Neymar Jr. | €88M | 2013-14

The Brazilian Phenomenon, Neymar Jr. engraved his name as one of the greatest signings FC Barcelona has ever made. Barcelona paid a total of €88M to the Brazilian side Santos to bring Neymar to Camp Nou in the summer of 2013 and it actually turned out to be one of the handful of big-money signings that justified its price tag. 

Spending four years at the club, Neymar scored 105 goals and provided 76 assists in 186 matches and won the famous 2014-15 UEFA Champions League in the Blaugrana shirt. He also won two LaLigas for the Catalan giants in the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. Neymar along with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez formed the iconic 'M-S-N' trio that scared every defence line at that time. 

Before leaving the club in 2017 in a world-record deal worth €222M to move to Paris Saint-Germain, Neymar won 9 trophies with Barcelona and he was one of the most crucial players of the squad in each campaign. Neymar Jr. remains one of the greatest players ever to don the Barca shirt to date

3. Antoine Griezmann | €120M | 2019-20

This is one of the transfers with a humongous fee but did not live up to the price tag at all. Antoine Griezmann was signed by Barcelona in the summer window of 2019 in a shock move from La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid after triggering his release clause of €120M.

However, even after being one of the most exceptional footballers at that time, the Frenchman could not fit himself into Barcelona's traditional system of playing the game. He was well-adapted as a second striker and forward in Atletico Madrid but continually struggled with his form in Barcelona's system and he only scored 35 goals and made 17 assists in 102 games for FC Barcelona. 

Griezmann played under different coaches such as Ernesto Valverde and Ronald Koeman but the poor gameplans and mismanagement got the better of him. The player moved out of Barcelona in 2021 in a loan move back to his previous club Atletico Madrid.

In 2023, Madrid signed him permanently from Barcelona and the story ended between the talented Frenchman and the Catalan club which remains one of the worst transfers of all time.

2. Ousmane Dembele | €147M | 2017-18

Ousmane Dembele announced himself as one of the finest young talents in 2017 after he had a remarkable season with Borussia Dortmund. The French winger was eyed by FC Barcelona officials as a potential replacement for Neymar Jr. and the club welcomed him after paying a hefty fee of €105M initially and paying €42m add-ons. 

However, a transfer worth a total package of €147M did not even come close to live up to the price tag as Dembele continued to suffer because of his series of injuries. He spent six seasons at FC Barcelona scoring 40 goals and making 43 assists across all competitions. 

Dembele has a 3-times LaLiga winning honour by his name but his most significant contribution came in Barcelona's LaLiga-winning campaign in the 2022-23 season. The Frenchman started to play a lot better under coach Xavi, but he moved to PSG in 2023 after Barcelona sold him for €50M.

1. Philippe Coutinho | €160M | 2017-18

This is another blockbuster transfer that remains the most expensive signing for FC Barcelona but went all wrong in every possible way. Philippe Coutinho was welcomed by the Catalan giants in January 2018 after they paid his former club Liverpool a club-record fee of €120M with €40M potential add-ons, making it a monetary package of €160M

The Brazilian forward came to Barcelona after proving himself very well in the Premier League while playing for Liverpool FC but failed miserably in the Catalan club. He managed to have 25 goals and 14 assists in 106 games for FC Barcelona across four and a half seasons.

However, he was part of Barcelona squads that won two LaLigas and two Spanish Cups but could never make any significant impact for the team. The highlight of his time at FC Barcelona was when he scored two goals for Bayern Munich against FC Barcelona in the 2019-20 UCL quarter-final whilst being on loan from the Catalan club.

After his spells of continuous failure, the Catalan club offloaded Countinho by selling him to Aston Villa for €20M in 2022. He spent some time in Qatari side Al-Duhail SC and now plays on loan for the Brazilian side Vasco Da Gama.

El-Clasico: Head to Head Stats | sportzpoint.com

El Clasico refers to a match between two of Spain's biggest teams, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. The rivalry goes beyond the football field as Madrid, the capital of Spain and Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia's autonomous community, have shared their fair share of political tension over the years. 

Initially, the term was only used for the matches in the domestic Spanish championship, La Liga. Over the years, however, it's been globally recognised for every single meeting, such as in the UEFA Champions League or even domestic cup competitions like the Copa del Rey and Supercopa de España.

With both teams boasting big budgets and reputations that appeal to world-class performers across the planet, their respective ranks have been loaded with match-winners over the years.

Hello and welcome to another exciting evening of UEFA Champions League football. This is Koushik Biswas, who will bring you all the updates of the PSG vs Arsenal UEFA Champions League 2024-25 Semi-final second leg match at the Parc des Princes in Paris. 

Paris St. Germain (PSG) are leading by 1-0 after the first leg as Ousmane Dembele's lone goal in the first half was enough for the Parisians to secure a first-leg win. 

Meanwhile, Arsenal looked good in spells but could not convert their chances to level with PSG at their home. But with only one goal deficit, this game is far from over.

With both teams not tasting European success in their history, they will not want to miss the chance to qualify for the final.

Final thoughts!

Arsenal dominated the first 15 minutes, but after that, it was all about PSG at their home. 

Luis Enrique has done a tremendous job with PSG and created leaders in different positions. 

Donnarumma has been a beast under the post. Hakimi, with 21 goal contributions, is now one of the best. Vitniha, Neves and Marquinhos are one of the best in their positions as well. 

Dembele is running for a potential Ballon d'Or finish. So, the credit should go to Enrique for all his efforts. 

Arsenal had their chances, but they failed to take them. Saka did score but missed one as well. 

So, it will be Inter Milan vs PSG in the final in Munich. Thank you for staying up with us. 

Good night, and I will see you on 1st June in the final. Till then, take care and enjoy football.

What happened in the first leg?

Image

The first leg of the semi-final was one of the Champions League classics with a 3-3 result at the  Lluís Companys. 

Marcus Thuram scored the fastest goal of Champions League semi-final history with a 30-second goal in the game. In the 21st minute, Dumfries then extended the lead for Inter Milan. 

But, Barcelona came back three minutes later with a stunning curling goal from Lamine Yamal. In the 38th minute, Ferran Torres scored again for Barcelona to make it 2-2.

However, Inter Milan were ready to strike back in the second half as Dumfries scored his second to hand Inter the lead, again.

But again, Barcelona came back two minutes later with a third goal from Raphinha, which was later confirmed to be an own goal by Inter goalkeeper Sommer. 

Inter nearly won the tie if not Dumfries had been found an inch offside before scoring what could have been a well-deserved hat-trick for him. 

We have everything to play for in the second leg. But Inter have not lost a home game in the UCL this season. Can Barcelona break that record?
