Douglas Costa has just joined Juventus for a massive €46 million, so where does the Brazilian rank among the costliest players in history?

Douglas Costa has completed his
move from Bayern Munich to Juventus , with the Bianconeri agreeing to pay the Bavarians €6 million to take the Brazilian winger on loan for two season before then being obliged to hand over a further €40m to make the deal permanent in 2019.

However, despite Costa costing a grand total of €46m, the Selecao star still only ranks joint-33rd on the list of the biggest transfers in football history, which, of course, is still topped by Paul Pogba, who made a record-breaking €105m switch from Juve to Manchester United last summer.
