23Vinicius Junior Aged 18 (Flamengo to Real Madrid) 38.7million

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.
