Antoine Griezmann - €120m

Rodri - €70m

Rodri spent just one year back at Atleti, before his €70m release clause was triggered by Manchester City.

Joao Felix - €52m

A hugely talented player, Joao Felix was signed by Atletico Madrid who thought little of parting with €126m for the teenager in 2019.

After spending five years at Atletico Madrid, Arsenal bolstered their midfield with the signing of combative midfielder Thomas Partey, who's enjoyed a five-year spell at the Emirates.

Radamel Falcao - €43m

One of the best strikers of his generation, Radamel Falcao made the switch from Porto to Atletico in 2011, scoring 52 goals in 68 games before signing for Monaco two seasons later for €43m.

Following the path of Falcao, Jackson Martinez made the move from Porto to Atletico Madrid, but the Colombian played just 15 games before being sold to Guangzhou Evergrande for £42m.

Sergio Aguero - €40m

One of the best young forwards in the world, Sergio Aguero rose to prominence at Atletico, scoring 74 goals in his five seasons at the club before Manchester City snapped him up for €40m in 2011.
