Only a select group of British footballers have moved for a world-record transfer fee.
Alan Shearer when he joined Newcastle United for £15million back in 1995 and Gareth Bale when he swapped London for Madrid in 2013 for £86million, were the only two in the last half century. That was until one of England's Euro 2022 heroes moved for a world record fee in the women's game at the end of summer.
Keira Walsh moved from WSL contenders Manchester City to Barcelona for a fee of around £400,000 making her the most expensive female footballer on the planet. The move came after a hugely successful eight years at City, where the midfielder became renowned for her quick feet, tough tackling and intelligence in possession.
