The biggest transfer fees in football history are headlined by Neymar's €222m move to PSG in 2017 — still the world record. World Cup performances routinely reset the market, as Enzo Fernández showed after 2022.

World Cup years vs the transfer market
The World Cup is the single largest catalyst for transfer-market activity. Enzo Fernández moved to Chelsea for £106.8m within weeks of Argentina lifting the 2022 trophy. Mbappé's 2018 performances triggered offers that ended with PSG paying €180m to make his Monaco loan permanent. Romário's 1994 tournament accelerated the Cruzeiro-Barcelona move that defined his peak career.
