Ronaldo's transfer to Inter Milan would be most expensive move taking inflation into account

Ronaldo was a prolific forward and scored 47 goals in 49 games during just one season at the Nou Camp between 1996 and 1997.

He then went on to net 59 times in 98 matches during a five-year period at Inter.

Michel Platini's move from Saint-Etienne to Juventus back in 1982 would reportedly be the second most expensive transfer at £299m.

Ronaldo's countryman Neymar is the world's most expensive player after moving from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain for £198m back in the summer of 2017.

However the 27-year-old's move to Ligue 1 would reportedly be the fifth most expensive transfer.
