Bayern Munich paid €70.0m for Luis Díaz. Against the club's own history of paying for forwards, that is the 2nd largest such fee on record.
| Player | From | Fee | Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harry Kane | Tottenham | €95.0m | 2023/24 |
| Michael Olise | Crystal Palace | €53.0m | 2024/25 |
| Leroy Sané | Man City | €49.0m | 2020/21 |
| Sadio Mané | Liverpool | €32.0m | 2022/23 |
| Kingsley Coman | Juventus | €21.0m | 2017/18 |
| Mathys Tel | Stade Rennais | €20.0m | 2022/23 |
A club's own precedent is the only fair yardstick for whether a fee is a departure for it. A number that looks enormous league-wide can be routine for one buyer, and a modest one can be a record for another.
