Romelu Lukaku is set to overtake Neymar and become the most expensive player of all time in accumulated transfer fees as his £98million return to Chelsea nears completion. The 28-year-old left Stamford Bridge in 2014 after a miserable three-year spell at the west London outfit that saw him fail to score. His latest switch will take him ahead of the Paris Saint-Germain attacker in combined transfer fees, with the Belgian set to rack up an eye-watering total of £291m. Alvaro Morata surprisingly makes the final spot in our top five, making his move from Real Madrid to Juventus in 2014 for £14m before returning to the Bernabeu in 2016 for £23m. Kylian Mbappe just misses the cut, with his move from Monaco to Paris Saint-Germain worth £163m in 2018 after France's World Cup win.
