<p>The silly season got down and expensive this summer with some very high-priced signings. While <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lionel-messi-t13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lionel Messi</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/cristiano-ronaldo-t2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cristiano Ronaldo</a></strong> may have stolen the headlines, fans will be shocked to learn that the Argentine and the Portuguese were not this off-season’s most expensive transfers. In reality Messi left on a free and Ronaldo on a reported 12.5 million Euro transfer from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/three-players-juventus-will-not-sign-to-replace-cristiano-ronaldo-20210830-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Juventus</a>.</p>
<p>Despite clubs trying to save as much as possible due to the covid pandemic, the usual suspects like <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/chelsea-t200" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chelsea</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/manchester-city-roster-2021-2022-man-city-list-of-players-20210826-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester City</a>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/manchester-united-schedule-2021-2022-the-red-devils-fixture-this-season-20210830-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester United </a>all spent the big bucks this offseason </strong>to prepare their teams for the new season.</p>
<p>Defenders were in high demand as 6 of the summer’s top transfers were defensive players. While Jack Grealish is the very questionable number 1 transfer of the summer. <strong>Here is the list of the top 10 2021 summer transfer signings in Europe!</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>English forward <strong>Tammy Abraham</strong> made the summer move from Chelsea, where he was often on loan to Serie A to Roma. The England striker will look to be a centerpiece of José Mourinho’s team, Abraham already has 1 goal in 2 games to kick off his new Italian career.</p>
<h2>8. Ibrahima Konaté – €40 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210831_BUS_174919_ibrahima_konatx_crop1630432775311.jpg_22069893_059c53f6.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Ibrahima Konaté (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The 22-year-old French defender completed his move to Liverpool from RB Leipzig for 40 million Euros. <strong>Ibrahima Konaté</strong> played 66 times for the Red Bulls and is known for his positional play and pace.</p>
<h2>7. Raphaël Varane – €40 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210831_BUS_174919_raphaxl_varane_crop1630432698584.jpg_22069893_8d8a5db4.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Raphaël Varane (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The French center back was sold from Real Madrid to Manchester United for €40 million, <strong>Raphaël Varane</strong> was on United’s radar for quite some time and the club was finally able to land the World Cup winner to Old Trafford.</p>
<h2>6. Dayot Upamecano – €42.50 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210831_BUS_174919_dayot_upamecano_crop1630432580151.jpg_22069893_126350ce.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Dayot Upamecano (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Yet another French defender jumped ship as <strong>Dayot Upamecano</strong> moved from RB Leipzig, where he played 112 games to Bayern Munich for €42.50 million. The 22-year-old is just entering his prime and has been called up to the French national team three times in 2020.</p>
<h2>5. Ben White – €58.50 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210831_BUS_174919_ben_white_crop1630432526849.jpg_22069893_959d6524.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Ben White (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Ben White</strong> moved from Brighton &amp; Hove Albion to Arsenal for a rather high €58.50 million, White had a very good run at Leeds United, but the transfer seems very high on a player who essentially has played for mid table teams in England.</p>
<h2>4. Achraf Hakimi – €60 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210831_BUS_174919_achraf_hakimi_crop1630432444911.jpg_22069893_96a90f99.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Achraf Hakimi (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Morocco international right back <strong>Achraf Hakimi </strong>moved from Inter Milan to suit up with Lionel Messi and Neymar at PSG. Hakimi played only 37 games for Inter Milan and scored 1 goal.</p>
<h2>3. Jadon Sancho – €85 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210831_BUS_174919_jadon_sancho_crop1630432384390.jpg_22069893_ae306d6f.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Jadon Sancho (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>One of the biggest transfer sagas of the year, <strong>Jadon Sancho</strong> finally left Borussia Dortmund and returned to England to play for Manchester United. Sancho cost the red devils €85 million, as one of the most exciting young players in the world much is expected from Sancho at Old Trafford.</p>
<h2>2. Romelu Lukaku – €115 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210831_BUS_174919_romelu_lukaku_crop1630432119005.jpg_22069893_31e17893.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Romelu Lukaku (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Back for his second stint in England with Chelsea, <strong>Romelu Lukaku</strong> was sold from Inter Milan where he was a scoring machine to Chelsea for €115 million. Chelsea gets what they have been looking for, for a while now, a powerful goal scoring forward.</p>
<h2>1. Jack Grealish – €117.50 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210831_BUS_174919_jack_grealish_crop1630431702330.jpg_22069893_f91c1415.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Jack Grealish (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Jack Grealish</strong> is talented, but at €117.50 million? Seems a bit inflated but Manchester City got their man and Grealish is moving from Aston Villa to City. Not much of a goal scorer and only 12 caps for England with 0 goals, he is the number one player on this list ahead of players who have done much more and are younger.</p>
