The transfer market is not an exact science, as many Premier League clubs have already found out as a host of English teams have been involved in some costly flops in the window. A recent study into some of the most expensive players in the world has revealed that the likes of Manchester United , Chelsea and Liverpool have been involved in some of the ‘worst’ deals in football history. Some big money has been spent this summer, with Premier League clubs leading the way once again but teams will hope to avoid some of their previous mistakes. The worst transfer of all time has been proven to be Paris Saint-Germain’s purchase of Neymar in 2017 from Barcelona, as the Ligue 1 giants broke the world transfer record - which still stands - by paying £190million to sign the Brazilian icon. Liverpool and Chelsea were benefactors of the joint-second worst transfer of all time, as the sales of Philippe Coutinho and Eden Hazard failed to hit the mark for Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively.
