Football finance expert predicts €200million transfer is just TWO years away

A football finance expert predicts that a €200million (£175.5m) transfer is just two years away.

Dr Raffaele Poli heads the CIES Football Observatory, which is funded by FIFA and Neuchatel University, and has been analysing increasing rise in football fees.

The world record transfer amount currently stands at £89m from Paul Pogba's move to Manchester United last season.

But fees in excess of £100m have been touted this summer - and they are only set to sky rocket further.

CIES study the movement of finances in football and has an 80 per cent accuracy rate when it comes to predicting transfer fees.
