Neymar became the most expensive footballer in history after moving from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017.
The Brazilian departed Camp Nou for PSG in a €222 million (£200 million) deal, capping up a remarkable four-year spell with Barcelona.
The signing of Neymar was the first time a French team broke the world record for football transactions.
The largest transactions since then have not come close to matching the record.
Kylian Mbappe went from Monaco to PSG in the same summer as Neymar, however the transaction did not become permanent until 2018.
It was valued €180 million and is the second-highest transfer price in history.
