£107m for a Benfica midfielder coming off one great tournament. The market's never been the same since.
Portugal head coach Roberto Martinez on Bruno Fernandes’ record-breaking season at Manchester United:
“In the three years that I’ve been here in the national team, his consistency levels have been incredible. Everything that he does in the final third has been of the highest level.
“Now I’m delighted that he gets a recognition, not just from the players, because I think that’s something that you can feel straight away in the PFA awards, but also from the writers and the Premier League in general.
“Obviously breaking that record over one season to get 21 assists, knocking (off) names like Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry, that’s something that’s creating a historic memory.”

🏆 Referee announced for 2026 #SuperCup!
We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.

None of them are worth £100m.
Leave them where they are and 3 years later, they’ll revert to being average.
