Is Neymar's World Record Fee Unbreakable?

Video Overview & Insights

It has been almost nine years Neymar joined PSG from Barcelona for a world-record breaking €222 million, and yet, no one has come remotely close to breaking the Brazilian's record during that time.

Please can you make a The 7 Most Ethical Football Clubs In The World video? Criteria could include community and charitable involvement/decent ticket pricing/player welfare/ethical ownership and sponsorship. Let's celebrate the clubs doing the right things....if there are actually any

— @nicholashoward7251

So in this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at whether Neymar's record as the most expensive footballer of all time is unbreakable.

only 25 minutes. Come on Alfie there would´ve been the potential for at least 25 more minutes digression about the Qatari Geopolitics and the middle east in general. You can do better mate.

I think the only possible future transfer record would be, if PSG bought Lamine Yamal.

Hi Alfie! I've got a great topic for you. Do you know that the same VAR referee has been chosen to PSG matches in 4 rounds in a row?
Carlos Del Cerro Grande was the VAR referee in the first leg of PSG matches in every elimination round: against Monaco, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Bayern.

In modern football there literally isn’t a single player that is on Neymar’s caliber that would justify a record breaking fee of that magnitude. Not Mbappe, yamal, guler or vini.

There is one possibility that the Transfer Free will be broken.

If the Trump-MAGA Regime falls and it's replacement Post-MAGA Regime targets Bezos, Ellison & Musk for supporting Trump, they might feel the need to not only leave the United States, but look to buy up the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal & Liverpool and invest heavily into those clubs.

Mainly to buy up the loyalty of their Fanbase, so that said Post-MAGA Regime would find it more difficult to repatriate said Billionaires back home.

tRump's war with Iran at the behest of Israel has just about bankrupted the Arab Gulf oil states, and so, no, PSG and Man City not going to be able to afford such huge transfer fees anymore. Real Madrid and Barcelona also are also in arrears and are no longer able to make huge signing, instead counting on their reputations to sign big stars on free transfers after they run out their contracts

There is currently a massive player elligibility fuss going on in the Netherlands which might see this year’s Eredivisie and Eerste Divisie seasons being declared invalid. Over 230 games across both competitions have seen at least one player on the pitch that technically wasn’t allowed to play.

Just in case you need some video topics

If Yamal transfers then he’s probably the one. He would do something stupid like go to PSG or City

Hey a 7-idea: Top 7 managers who would've coach a top contender by now if they were either british, italian or spanish. I start Oliver Glasner - the man overachieved everywhere he managed, played in europe at every club he managed. If a Brit, an Italian or a Spaniard brought an Austrian club back to the top tier, kept winning to play in the CL Playoff and play in the EL, goes to the Bundesliga, qualifies for the EL and CL, goes to another Bundesliga blub won the EL there and at his next stop (a low tier PL club) won the FA-Cup - then there would at least be talks about a move to a top 5-top 10 club in Europe.
Pretty sure there are other examples - yet on the other hand there are a bunch of Steven Gerrads, Gennaro Gattusos or Julen Lopeteguis
who basically lose everywhere and clubs begging them to manage (and lose)

9:20 only the top 3 la liga clubs set them super high, especially Barca and Madrid. Ofc this makes sense but my point is that the rest of the teams have really fkin low release clauses for their top players, so they don’t even get much money most of the time. just one of the many reasons why la liga is ASS now and the english money league is levels ahead 😒

It will be broken one day because of inflation. In relative terms (adjusted for inflation) I dont think it will ever be close, though.

I will say Lamine Yamal could probably break it right now if barcelona would ever be stupid enough to sell, but that will never happen.

When you investigate the real (political) reasons behind Neymar's transfer to PSG, you understand there's no chance it gets beaten.

@mp190893

09:15 - technically not true. The relevant law actually states that there must be a release clause OR the fee to buy out ones contract is set at tribunal. It's just that because nobody involved wants to deal with a tribunal that they are so near universally used. The word "near" used as Athletic club in the last few years have resigned players to contracts with no clause (as far as I can tell, as a marketing ploy)

I'm disappointed. The video did not include the line "without further Adu, who never joined a club for a world record fee."

Great video, but I feel like the 25 minutes weren't quite enough for an in depth socioeconomic and geopolitical analysis that was needed to fully understand this topic, in my humble opinion, the video could have used another 10-15 minutes in run time.

Transfers will and already are becoming more like American sports, particularly the NBA. Often big players will run out their contracts in order to move teams, and straight cash for player trades are almost unheard of. Mbappe's situation will become the standard for star players
