Gianluigi Buffon is the 4th most expensive player ever, and the most expensive goalkeeper, moving from Parma to Juventus (both Italian clubs), for %A332.6 million in 2001. Mar 03 03, 12:49 PM

Amazing that Steve Simonsen is still the record between two English clubs .I saw him last week playing for Everton reserves at Newcastle and he's nowhere near the first team . I appreciate that transfer fees are often matters of conjecture , but I would have expected to see Van de Saar's move to Fulham and one or both of Richard Wright's moves ( Ipswich to Arsenal to Everton ) on the list .

s2boy and oddy correct - the above table was only correct up to mid 2000. Gianluigi Buffon (Ita) from Parma (Ita) to Juventus (Ita) %A332.6m 2001 Francesco Toldo (Ita) from Fiorentina (Ita) to Inter Milan (Ita) %A318m 2001 http://www.footballtransfers.info/records/rectrans.asp?nationID=0 Fulham's Edwin van der Sar should be in the list for his %A37 million transfer from Juventus. http://www.4thegame.com/news/story/82794/Fulham+break+record+in+%A37m+van+der+Sar+coup.html Also Richard Wright did move to Everton from Arsenal for %A33.5 million (possibly rising to 4.5), originally costing the Gunners %A36 million to get him from Ipswich. http://www.weeballs.com/Everton/everton.asp Mar 03 03, 3:09 PM

Oddy	Another one - Chris Kirkland from Coventry to Liverpool . I think he cost around 5/6 million pounds . Mar 03 03, 4:42 PM
