Paul Pogba has joined a long list of players to break the World Record for a transfer fee.
The French international joined Manchester United overnight from Juventus for a reported €105million. After Gareth Bale, he is only the second player to break through the €100million mark
Pogba's transfer is the second time an English club has broken the record since in the last 60 years. In 1996, Newcastle United paid £15million for Alan Shearer from Blackburn Rovers.
Here are some of the more significant milestones in transfer fees in recent years.
