Top 15 clubs with biggest transfer net spent this decade 2010 - 2019.

A little more than three years ago, fans thought it was crazy that Manchester United were spending £86 million on Paul Pogba. At the time, it was a world-record transfer fee.

A year later, that record was obliterated when Paris Saint-Germain secured the services of Neymar for £200 million.

As we go from the 2010s to 2020s, spending in football shows no signs of slowing down.

To prove that, we’ve talked about the Top 15 clubs with the greatest net spend this decade and tried to work out whether it’s been money well spent or not from this Decade 2010 - 2019.

Final Worlds

While it’s no surprise to see the likes of Barca, PSG and Man City at the top of the net spend list, there are certainly a few shocks.

Milan being fifth is certainly a worry with the Italian club having very little to show for it.

Then there’s Liverpool in 12th, who have assembled one of the best squads in the world for a relatively modest net spend.
