What to buy with Neymar’s transfer fee?

in #football7 years ago (edited)

This week Neymar finalized his move towards PSG. The outrageous transfer fee of € 222 million ($ 264 / £ 200) even doubles the € 105 million of Pogba’s transfer from Juventus to Manchester United last year. Insiders even predict a one billion transfer fee will happen within ten years. Has the football (no, don’t call it soccer) world gone mad? I always like those posts pointing out what you could have bought instead. Let’s give it a try.

  • The squads of all other teams in the French Ligue 1, except Monaco
  • A dozen of Greek islands. ‘Only’ € 110 million is enough to buy seven islands which actually have a price tag. You can use the remaining € 112 million to bid on other islands.
  • The Red Cross can provide food for over 2.5 million people for one year
  • Neymar’s transfer fee beats Luxembourg’s national expenditures on defense
  • The four highest sold Van Gogh paintings
  • 172 million Steem or ‘just’ 77,000 Bitcoins
  • Approximately 100 Bugatti Veyron’s
  • The production costs of 44 episodes of the Game of Thrones
  • Almost four Joint Strike Fighters F-35
  • The production costs of the Fate and the Furious
  • Staying in the Royal Penthouse Suite of the President Wilson in Geneva – the most expensive hotel in the world – for over 12 years
