Ronaldo Nazario’s move from FC Barcelona to Inter Milan in 1997 would be the most expensive change in history on today’s transfer market. This resulted in calculations by Play Ratings, which the Daily Mail reported on.
Accordingly, the transfer fee for the 2002 world champion would be around 435 million euros today if inflation were included.
This would make him almost twice as expensive as his compatriot Neymar, who switched from Barca to PSG in 2017 for 222 million euros.
Barcelona received about 28 million euros for Ronaldo in 1997, which was the highest transfer fee ever paid for a footballer.
In the same year, the striker was voted world footballer for the second time and won the UEFA Cup with Inter in the following season.
