In 2012, Thiago Silva moved from AC Milan to PSG for a transfer fee of €42 million. He spent seven seasons for the French club and signed Chelsea in 2019/20 season. He is inarguably one of the greatest defenders in football history.
Gareth Bale left Tottenham in 2013 and joined Real Madrid for a fee of €101 million which is the highest transfer fee for any right-winger in history. He has to be considered a neutral signing as he has neither been good nor bad for the Spanish club since his arrival.
However, Bale will leave Real Madrid as a legend because he has won them a number of titles including the most prestigious UEFA Champions League for three times in a row (2016, 2017, 2018).

Kylian Mbappe and Philipe Coutinho are the second and third most expensive players respectively after the Brazilian.
