Chelsea flop Andriy Shevchenko would be the Premier League's most expensive player at an eye-watering £144.4million if his transfer happened today.
The Ukrainian striker joined Chelsea from Milan for a fee of £29.4m back in 2006, but the enormous inflation of football's transfer market means Shevchenko would now command almost five times that figure.
Alan Shearer, who joined Newcastle United from Blackburn Rovers for a world record £15m in 1996, would be worth a colossal £125.1m in today's market.
Andriy Shevchenko may have failed to make an impression at Chelsea, but his £29.4m transfer fee when signing from Milan in 2006 would be worth a staggering £144.4m in today's money
Alan Shearer cost Newcastle a world record £15m when he joined in 1996 - but if the transfer was to happen today, the north-east club would need to stump up a colossal £125.1m
Manchester United paid £29m for Rio Ferdinand back in 2002 but inflation in the transfer market means the England defender would cost them £121.7m in today's money
Meanwhile, Rio Ferdinand, who cost Manchester United £29m when they bought him from Leeds United in 2002, would cost them £121.7m if the move was to happen today.
The research has been done by TotallyMoney, who have studied every transfer since the advent of the English Premier League in 1992 and calculated a 'football player inflation' formula to work out each player's transfer fee today.
TotallyMoney's research took into account various factors that have inflated the transfer market during the Premier League era, including increased broadcasting revenue and commerical opportunities.
And with each top flight club assured of their share of these revenues, competition for star players in the market is more intense than ever.
Staggeringly, if everyday items had increased in line with Premier League inflation, a pint of milk would cost £7.62 and a loaf of bread £12.32.
| Name | Season | From | To | Original fee | Today's mpney |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Andriy Shevchenko | 2006-07 | AC Milan | Chelsea | £29.4m | £144.4m |
| Alan Shearer | 1996-97 | Blackburn | Newcastle | £15m | £125.1m |
| Rio Ferdinand | 2002-03 | Leeds | Man United | £29m | £121.7m |
| Paul Pogba | 2016-17 | Juventus | Man United | £86m | £117.7m |
| Juan Sebastian Veron | 2001-02 | Lazio | Man United | £26.4m | £115.9m |
| Didier Drogba | 2004-05 | Marseille | Chelsea | £26.2m | £115.7m |
| Fernando Torres | 2010-11 | Liverpool | Chelsea | £50m | £115.5m |
| Michael Essien | 2005-06 | Lyon | Chelsea | £25.8m | £115.5m |
| Roy Keane | 1993-94 | Nottingham Forest | Man United | £5.7m | £111.2m |
| Wayne Rooney | 2004-05 | Everton | Man United | £25.2m | £103.6m |

Paul Pogba's transfer fee would have increased from £86m to £117.7m in just two years
Juan Sebastian Veron struggled in his time with Man United but would be wort £115.9m now
Shevchenko, Shearer and Ferdinand are the three most expensive on the list, but even moves that happened two years ago would command considerably higher transfer fees now.
Paul Pogba's move from Juventus to Man United in 2016, for example, was £86m at the time but would have risen to £117.7m now.
Other players that would now cost in excess of £115m include Juan Sebastian Veron, Didier Drogba, Fernando Torres and Michael Essien.
Man United's hardman captain Roy Keane would be worth £111.2m in today's money, while their record goalscorer Wayne Rooney would command £103.6m.
They calculate that Andrew Cole, bought by Man United from Newcastle back in 1995 for £6.4m, would command a whopping £91.2m today.
Didier Drogba experienced plenty of success at Chelsea and is valued at £115.7m today
Fernando Torres was less successful at Stamford Bridge but would be worth a similar amount
His strike partner at Old Trafford, Dwight Yorke, would be worth £81m, more than six times the £12.6m United paid to sign him from Aston Villa in 1998.
Over at Manchester City, their all-time record scorer Sergio Aguero looks a snip at the £35m they paid for him in 2011 given his inflated value of £99.1m.
More surprising is the massive increase in the value of Shaun Wright-Phillips, who left City for Chelsea in 2005 in a £21.4m deal but would now be valued at £95.8m.
Some players make two appearances high up in the list - Torres is one, with his 2011 move from Liverpool to Chelsea now valued at £115.5m and his 2007 arrival at Liverpool at £90.7m.
Sportsmail columnist Chris Sutton is another with his 1994 switch from Norwich to Blackburn, originally worth £5m, now calculated at £68.5m. Sutton's £10m move from Rovers to Chelsea in 1999 is now worth £61.5m.
The research found that in 1994-95, the average player in the Premier League cost £1.16m. But by the 2012-13 campaign, this average had rocketed to £5.37m - a five-fold increase.
Chris Sutton is unveiled by Gianluca Vialli as a Chelsea player in 1999 - that move cost £10m back then but would be worth £61.5m now
Man United's Roy Keane features in the top 10 and is valued at £111m in modern money
Shaun Wright-Phillips would be worth five times as much now as he was back in 2005
Applying the same rampant inflation seen within football's transfer market was applied to the rest of society, the price of a pint of milk would have risen from 34p in 1992 to £7.62 today.
A loaf of sliced white bread would have soared from 55p in 1992 to £12.32, while the average house price would have risen from £52,000 to £1.2m.
Henry Keegan of TotallyMoney said: 'Many think footballers have always been paid a lot. But, compared with how much they cost now, they were an absolute steal when the Premier League began.
'What our research shows is that with the globalisation of football and its ever-increasing worldwide popularity and TV deals, the biggest football clubs can afford to compete for the very best players - and that football inflation far outweighs day-to-day inflation.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
