23Raheem Sterling – Aged 15 (QPR to Liverpool) 5million

The Italian forward signed for the Ligue 1 side in January 2018 and has so far made six appearances.
23Alexandre Pato Aged 17 (Internacional to AC Milan) 23.2million

23Vinicius Junior Aged 18 (Flamengo to Real Madrid) 38.7million
You have to be pretty special to have a club of Real Madrids calibre pay such a fee for you and the talented forward certainly is. His fee is the largest amount received for a Brazilian club, with Neymars move to Barcelona from Santos second.
23Kylian Mbappe Aged 19 (Monaco to PSG) 166million

23Neymar Aged 25 (Barcelona to PSG) 200million

23Gabriel Batistuta Aged 31 (Fiorentina to Roma) 22million
Batigol was one of the worlds best strikers at the turn of the Millennium and his prolific spell with Fiorentina meant he became, at the time, the most expensive player over 30. His 20 goals in the league helped Roma clinch the Scudetto in 2000/01 for the first time since 1983.
23Fernando Llorente Aged 32 (Swansea to Tottenham) 15million
The towering Spaniard had enjoyed plenty of success with the likes of Athletic Bilbao and Juventus, but it was his relegation-saving form to keep Swansea up that earned him a move to Spurs in 2017.
23Cristiano Ronaldo Aged 33 (Real Madrid to Juventus) 99.2million
Not many people command a fee of this magnitude south of 30, but few, if any are like Ronaldo.
