Juventus most expensive signings – How Old Lady splashed €2.3 billion on incoming transfers

Juventus have not hesitated to spend big over the last two decades or so if they felt the occasion was right

Juventus are arguably one of the most successful teams around in the game and they have had some absolute superstars representing them on the pitch.

Just think about players such as Michel Platini, Zinedine Zidane, Pavel Nedved and Gonzalo Higuain to name just a few.

Most of these high-profile names started their careers elsewhere and Juventus had to open up the cheque book to get their men.

It all started back in 2001 when they signed Gianluigi Buffon by shelling out a world record €52.88 million transfer fee for a goalkeeper!

And of course, no one can forget their blockbuster transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2018 for €117m.

There have been many more high-profile transfers, though, so let's take a look at their dealings in the 21st century and their most expensive moves.

  7Pavel Nedved | €45 million/£40.50 million | Lazio | 2001

  The seventh-most expensive player in Juventus history, Nedved arrived from Lazio for €45 million (£40.50 million) in 2001 as a replacement for Zinedine Zidane.

  The Turin giants beat competition from Manchester United and Chelsea for his signature and it was Nedved whose incredible performances led Juventus to the final of the Champions League in 2003, in which he was suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

  Later that year, Nedved won the World Footballer of the year and European Footballer of the Year awards, beating Thierry Henry and Paolo Maldini for the latter.

  Nedved made 247 appearances for Juventus, scoring 51 goals in an eight-year spell.
