By spending up to 92 million dollars, Bayern has turned 18-year-old midfielder Renato Sanches into the second most expensive U21 player in world transfer history.
Here are the top 10 most expensive transfers in world football history.
 |
10. Mario Gotze, from Dortmund to Bayern, 2013, fee 42 million dollars Gotze joined Bayern when he was 21 years old. This was not a successful transfer. Under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, Gotze has not had a regular starting position. |
 |
9. Wayne Rooney, from Everton to Man Utd, 2004, 42 million Rooney came to Man Utd when he was only 18 years old. With this striker, the "Red Devils" did not have to think much about the attack for a decade. Rooney has now scored 244 goals for Man Utd and is the team captain. |
 |
8. Luke Shaw, from Southampton to Man Utd, 2014, 43 million After a brilliant season at Southampton, Shaw returned to Man Utd for a record fee for a left-back. This contract is still pending in the future. Shaw has not yet secured a starting position due to frequent injuries. |
 |
7. Lucas Moura, from Sao Paulo to PSG, 2013, 46 million Playing 158 matches in the past four seasons, Moura is one of the pillars of the PSG squad that has won Ligue 1 four times. This winger is both an effective dribbler and knows how to create effective passes for his teammates. |
 |
6. Eden Hazard, from Lille to Chelsea, 2012, 46 million. As the player who led Chelsea to the 2014-2015 English championship, Hazard received the title of the best player in the foggy country in the same season. This Belgian star suddenly lost his form at the beginning of the 2015-2016 season, but is still highly appreciated. |
 |
5. James Rodriguez, from FC Porto to Monaco, 2013, 51 million At the age of 21, James joined Monaco in a record contract for an under-21 player. This record was quickly surpassed by Neymar. With constant progress, James only played one season for Monaco before moving to Real Madrid. |
 |
4. Raheem Sterling, from Liverpool to Man City, 2015, 79 million Sterling set a record for an English player when he joined Man City last year. So far, this contract has not brought real results. Sterling still does not have enough experience to take the starting position of David Silva or Kevin De Bruyne. |
 |
3. Anthony Martial, from Monaco to Man Utd, 2015, £91m max (depending on appearances and future success) Man Utd surprised everyone by spending a large sum on Martial, but the decision soon proved to be wise. In his first season, Martial scored 17 goals for the "Red Devils". |
 |
2. Renato Sanches, Benfica to Bayern, 2016, £92m max (depending on appearances and future success) Sanches has played less than a season for Benfica's first team, but has already won over viewers with his mature play in midfield. The 18-year-old is also a Portugal international and could be a Euro 2016 contender. |
 |
1. Neymar, from Santos to Barca, 2013, 95 million Barca did not hesitate to spend any penny to get Neymar. After nearly three seasons, Neymar scored 84 goals, contributed to five titles in 2015 and performed a style of play that captivated viewers. |
