Paris Saint-Germain's most expensive signings after Mauro Icardi deal

Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain completed the €50 million permanent signing of Mauro Icardi on Sunday, but where does the Argentine forward rank among the club's most expensive players of all time?

Over the weekend, the reigning French champions tied Icardi down to a new four-year deal, after previously signing the 26-year-old on loan from Inter Milan at the start of the 2019/20 season.

The two-time Capocannoniere (Serie A Golden Boot) winner becomes PSG's fifth-most expensive player of all time following his mega-money move, and his transfer ensured that nine of the club's 10 most expensive players hail from South America. 

Brazil superstar Neymar tops that list after joining Les Parisiens from FC Barcelona for a world record €222 million (R4.3 billion) in 2017, while Kylian Mbappe's €145 million (R2.8 billion) switch from Monaco makes him the club's and the world's second-most expensive player.
