\u00a0In football, player sale and purchase is a very tricky thing as the buyer may not know just how successful the player bought could be. This risk is even higher when the player in question was signed via a big-money deal. However, some players have gone ahead to become top signings in recent times.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0Cristiano Ronaldo is the pick of the bunch. The Portuguese superstar had already won the Ballon d\u2019Or award when he left Manchester United for Real Madrid. The deal cost the Spanish La Liga club \u20ac94 million but unknown to them, they would be signing the best player in their history.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0The former Manchester United star became the highest goalscorer in the club\u2019s history with 450 goals and also won the Ballon d\u2019Or award four more times with the club. He also won numerous trophies during his nine-year stay at the club, four Champions League titles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0Cristiano Ronald\u2019s transfer from Sporting Lisbon to Manchester United is second on the list. The scrawny boy who mesmerized Manchester United in a pre-season friendly had done just enough to get himself a move to Old Trafford. The Red Devils paid \u20ac19 million for the youngster in 2003. Six years later, when he left the club in 2009, he was the best player in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0Perhaps the biggest bargain deal in the 21st century happened when AC Milan signed Kaka for \u20ac9 million in 2003. The Brazilian superstar went ahead to enjoy great success with the Italian Serie A club, where he won many trophies and also won the Ballon d\u2019Or award in 2007.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0The fourth-best transfer in world football in the 21st century is the deal that saw Real Madrid sign Luka Modric from Tottenham Hotspur. The Spanish La Liga club paid Spurs \u20ac35 million to steal their prized asset from them.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0The Croatian midfielder has enjoyed tremendous success with the Spanish club. Since leaving Tottenham Hotspur in 2012, he has won the Champions League five times amongst many other trophies. Modric has also won the Ballon d\u2019Or award during his time with Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0Below is the full list of the top ten best transfer deals in world football in the 21st century:<\/p>\n
