Listed: Top 10 priciest goalkeepers ever recorded

In the ever-evolving world of football, goalkeepers have been making headlines with their moves and performances. Let's take a closer look at some of the notable transfers and their impact.

Thibaut Courtois, once a key feature during Manchester City's most successful period, made a move to Real Madrid in 2018 for a fee of £35m. Since then, he has more or less nailed down the starting berth at the Spanish giants.

Meanwhile, Manchester United, seeking a successor to David de Gea, looked to André Onana after his impressive performance with Inter Milan. In 2023, the Red Devils signed Onana from Inter Milan for an initial transfer fee of £43.8 million. However, questions have remained over Onana's performance at Manchester United.

Onana's journey began with Ajax, where he made a name for himself. In 2022, he joined Inter Milan on a free transfer, but Ajax did not receive a transfer fee in 2023 when Onana moved to Manchester United.

In a separate transfer, Kepa Arrizabalaga was brought in to replace Courtois at Chelsea for £71.6m in 2018. Since then, loans to Real Madrid and Bournemouth followed, before he joined Arsenal to become Raya's understudy. Kepa is probably most remembered for refusing to come off in the 2019 Carabao Cup final under Maurizio Sarri's instruction.

Another notable transfer saw Lucas Chevalier join Paris Saint-Germain to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma. Chevalier made his debut against Tottenham Hotspur in the Super Cup.

Lastly, Alisson, who joined Liverpool in 2018, was named as one of the world's best goalkeepers. His impressive performances have been a significant factor in Liverpool's success during his tenure.

These transfers and performances serve as a testament to the ongoing competition and the importance of goalkeepers in modern football.
