5 most expensive signings in Barcelona’s history – latest signing features

#3 Antoine Griezmann

The Frenchman was part of one of the most enthralling saga in football history.

After declining a move to Camp Nou last summer, Griezmann made a documentary named ‘La Decision’ to rub salt into the wounds of the Blaugrana fans.

But a lot can change inside a year and the World Cup winner finally arrived at the Catalan Club last week after the Spanish giants triggered his buy-out clause of €120 million.

#2 Ousmane Dembele

The football world saw one of the craziest transfers of Neymar Jr. in the summer of 2017 which then acted as a catalyst for two other insane moves, one of them was Ousmane Dembele.

The Frenchman made the move from Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth €125 million and it got ugly at the end with Dembele not showing up for training on numerous occasions.

The German club knew Barca had the money after the sale of the Brazilian and took advantage of the situation making the Catalan club pay such a huge amount for a 20-year-old.

#1 Philippe Coutinho

The drama post-Neymar didn’t finish as it was time to invest that money on a second big signing.

After failing to land Coutinho in the summer, the Blaugrana club went all-in during the winter window and splashed a whopping €145 million to land the Brazilian at Camp Nou.

However, none of these three signings has panned out well with Coutinho, Dembele and Neymar all struggling at their respective clubs.
