Romelu Lukaku has become the third-most-expensive player of all time based on total career transfer fees following his move from Manchester United to Inter Milan.

The Belgian star, 26, swapped Old Trafford for the San Siro in a £73million deadline day deal.

On top of his mega-money move to Italy, United splashed around £75m on Lukaku to bring him in from Everton in 2017.

According to figures from Transfermarkt, those moves - along with his moves from Anderlecht to Chelsea and the Blues to Everton stick him third in the all-time most expensive player, with an overall tally of £183m.

Neymar leads the way on the at front, thanks mostly to his world-record £198m move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017.

On top of his shockingly expensive move to Spain from Santos, said to reach nearly £80m when all is said and done, that puts him top on a total £278m.

RON OF THE BEST

Cristiano Ronaldo sits second on the list at a total transfer fee of £207m.

The Portuguese star cost Man Utd £17m in 2003, before moving to Real Madrid in an £85m deal in 2009.

Last summer he completed a £99m move to Juventus - as he edges Lukaku into second place on the list.

Kylian Mbappe - with just the one move to his name - comes in second following his £162m move from Monaco to PSG, made permanent in July 2018.
