Atletico Madrid have splashed out £113million to sign teenage sensation Joao Felix from Benfica which makes him the fourth most expensive transfer in history.
The 19-year-old only trails Neymar (199.80m, Barcelona-PSG), Philippe Coutinho (£130.50m, Liverpool-Barcelona) and Kylian Mbappe (£121.50m, Monaco-PSG) in the list of the biggest ever deals.
Eden Hazard's move to Real Madrid is reportedly set to rise to £150m in time once all bonus payments kick in but the flat fee was just shy of £100m.
