Having taken charge of some of the biggest sides across Europe, Unai Emery has been involved in his fair share of blockbuster signings.
The Spaniard has been in post at both Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, as well as Sevilla, Villarreal and current club Aston Villa.
Given Emery has spent four years in the Villa Park hotseat, it is no surprise that this list is dominated by incomings in the Midlands.
2026 summer signings Johan Manzambi, Nicolas Jackson and Joao Gomes all make the 10; sitting at three, five and eight respectively. Manzambi was purchased for €60m after starring for Switzerland at the World Cup in North America.
However, topping the list at a whopping €222m is the signing of Neymar when Emery was with PSG. His switch from Barcelona to Paris remains the highest transfer fee ever exchanged in the history of game, over €40m more than Kylian Mbappe's switch to PSG which sits second on the list.
Nicolas Pepe is the only player that features in the 10 from Emery's time at Arsenal after the Gunners paid a then club record fee of €80m to acquire the winger from Lille.
