This Friday the signing of the Swedish Alexander Isak for Newcastle United for 70 million euros (counting variables) was made official, becoming the most expensive contract in the history of the ‘magpies’ and in turn in the highest sale in the history of the Royal Society. Although it is a high figure, it is not among the most expensive in the history of the Premier League. Here are the players who have been paid the most in England.

In 2021, Manchester City made the most expensive signing for a Premier League team. The ‘skyblues’ They paid 117 million euros to Aston Villa for the transfer of Jack Grealish.
Several years ago they had him in their ranks, but he left the club when he did not find stability in the institution. After shining with Inter, Chelsea disbursed 113 million euros for the Belgian striker in 2021. Although his return was not what was expected, since a season later they loaned him back to Inter.
As happened with Lukaku at Chelsea, Manchester United had Paul Pogba in their ranks, although he also did not find continuity in the red devils, for which he had to go to Juventus, In 2017, the English team paid 105 million euros for his return to the club. He had flashes, some good moments, but he was never able to recapture the version of himself that he had at Juventus, the club he has returned to after finishing his time in England.
In 2019, Manchester United reinforced their defense with the Englishman Harry Maguire, for whom they paid 87 million euros. The bet has not gone well for them, since he is currently one of the most distinguished footballers in the club, due to his poor performances.
After standing out and being a figure with Borussia Dortmund, Jadon Sancho made the leap to the Premier League with Manchester United. 85 million euros was what the English giant spent to recruit a player who at the time played in the youth of Manchester City. Today, the fans are still waiting for him to take off in football.
