Currency in British Pounds

1. James Rodriguez (Porto) - Bought for 5m, sold for 34m to Monaco - Profit: 29m

2. Pavel Nedved (Lazio) - Bought for 3m, sold for 33m to Juventus - Profit: 30m

3. Luis Figo (Barcelona) - Bought for 2m, sold for 35m to Real Madrid - Profit: 33m

4. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Internazionale) - Bought for 22m, sold for 60m (40m + Eto'o) - Profit: 38m

5. Zinedine Zidane (Juventus) - Bought for 3m, sold for 46m to Real Madrid - Profit: 43m

6. Edinson Cavani (Napoli) - Bought for 14m, sold for 55m to PSG - Profit: 44m

7. Radamel Falcao (Porto) - Bought for 5m, sold for 41m to Atletico Madrid - Profit: 46m

8. Hernan Crespo (Parma) - Bought for 2m, sold for 51m to Lazio - Profit: 49m

10. Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United) - Bought for 15m, sold for 80m to Real Madrid - Profit: 65m

So astonishing on how players grow as they age.

The value of pound and euro changes overtime, so this list may have to be slightly adjusted to meet today's currency values. Like, 75 M Euros is 64 M Pounds today, therefore making Zidane's profit being 61 M, the second highest.

@Vendetta You got those facts from this video by Football Daily didn't you?

Actually, I got them from Football Funnys (they spell funnies that way for some reason).

Ok... The video and the website are basically the same

Yeah just like Pogba he was sold to Juventus for a very low fee. And now if Juventus sells him , he could be 30-35 mill worth or maybe even more.

Dayummmm.
Zidane boughtfor 3 million? That alone is a bargain.

Gareth Bale will be the most profitable transfer ever soon.

@Ven: now you should do one about the least profitable transfers, considering how well did they play on their team.
@tikitaka: Bale would be a 99million flop for RM, they wont sell him for even a third of that amount

^ He meant for Spurs, not for Madrid.

@Tuanis, you mean like andy carroll and Torres? well Torres still has the chance to prove himself

^It's too late For Torres.

@Tuanis: I'll look into that.

Did Barcelona buy Figo from Sporting only for £4 million? Wow, I always thought it was around £10-15 million.
