Barcelona's most expensive signings of all time after £51.4m Rodri deal

Barcelona experienced a productive transfer window that saw them add eight players to Hansi Flick's squad.

Two of those additions have made it into the top 10 of the club's most expensive signings of all time. 

The Blaugrana splashed out £69m to prise forward Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United and spent nearly £52m on the statement transfer of Rodri from Manchester City. 

Gordon and Rodri will hope to repay Barcelona's investment by hitting the ground running in the 2026-27 campaign as the Catalan giants chase their ultimate goal of Champions League glory. 

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the most expensive signings in Barcelona history.
