It seems safe hands now come at a very high cost. In the same transfer window, Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made his dream move from Stamford Bridge to Real Madrid at a cost of £35 million, becoming the third most expensive goalkeeper in history. Bearing in mind that the Belgian only had one year left on his Chelsea contract and that the deal also involved the loan of highly rated midfielder Mateo Kovačić to the Blues, Courtois could have easily been on the same wavelength of price as Alisson and Kepa. In the past, attacking players have been the ones attracting record-breaking fees – Neymar for £198 million; Kylian Mbappé for £120 million; Philippe Coutinho for £106 million and Ousmane Dembélé for £97 million … the list goes on and on. Looking at the list of the most expensive footballers in the world, the top 10 all play in attacking positions. But the importance of defensive players has become more noticeable in recent seasons. In England, 切尔西花了7100万英镑吸引毕尔巴鄂竞技的门将科帕加盟 Chelsea paid £71 million for Athletic Bilbao keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga
