THE BRAZILAN LEGEND RONALDO"S TRANSFER FROM BARCELONA TO INTER MILAN. IN THE YEAR 1997 WAS THE COSTLIEST.

Now taking into account the high level of inflation today, then who would have been the costliest footballer to be ever sold.? The answer is the Brazilian legend Ronaldo, who when he made his transfer from Barcelona, to Italian giants Inter Milan, in the year 1997, for a very small amount of just25m twenty five million pounds. Which is honestly peanuts for such a very good player, I must say. So after a long period of 25, twenty five years on and with such a high rate of inflation, then that very small amount of 25, twenty five million pounds. in todays market would be a huge new world record for a footballer, is a scary figure. Today Inter Milan would have to pay a staggering 388, three hundred and eighty eight million pounds, to Barcelona to buy Ronaldo. This would automatically shrink the world record for a sale of a footballer. , as you see Neymar is just costing 198, one hundred and ninety eight million pounds. Concerning this sale ,there were stories going around that Ronaldo had paid Barcelona his buy out clause of 25, twenty five million pounds.
