Check out the ten most expensive signings from Carlo Ancelotti managerial career.
Over the course of more than three decades in management 'Don Carlo' has amassed a remarkable trophy cabinet and has been named the IFFHS World's Best Club Coach on a record four occassions.
The 67-year-old old is the only manager ever to have won the top-flight title in each of Europe's top five leagues, having done so with AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Throughout his time in the dugout Ancelotti has signed more than 200 players, but none cost more than the €103million he paid Borussia Dortmund to secure the services of Jude Bellingham for Real Madrid in the summer of 2023.
The signing of the England talisman ultimately proved to be a shrewd piece of business for Los Blancos, but can the same be said for the other players to feature on a list of his most expensive signings?
In January 2011 Ancelotti broke the British transfer record to bring Fernando Torres to Chelsea.
After being widely regarded as one of the best strikers in the Premier League to that point, the Spaniard largely struggled to replicate his form at Stamford Bridge over the course of four seasons in west London.
Ancelotti ultimately departed Chelsea before Torres would have the chance to redeem himself to Blues fans by coming off the bench to score a last-minute goal against Barcelona and seal the club's place in the 2012 UEFA Champions League final.
But who else joins Bellingham and Torres in the top ten? Read on to find out.
