In August 2017, Neymar became the most expensive footballer ever, costing Paris Saint-Germain a staggering €222 million, a fee that shattered the previous record set by Paul Pogba.
Neymar's transfer from Barcelona to PSG marked a new era in football finances, where a player's value soared to unprecedented levels, reflecting the rising commercialism in the sport.
The record fees have escalated dramatically over the last 100 years; Neymar's transfer highlights how far the game has evolved from the days when players moved for just a few thousand.
As football's transfer market continues to grow in scale, Neymar's record-setting move has provoked discussions about the sustainability and implications of such enormous valuations in the sport.
