Historical Context

In 2009 Real Madrid paid £80 million for Cristiano Ronaldo, eclipsing the previous £30 million record set by Robinho’s move to Manchester City and establishing a new world-transfer benchmark. That precedent now resurfaces as Everton have agreed to sell winger Iliman Ndiaye for the same £80 million, drawing interest from Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal.
