The deal breaks the previous Premier League record, set by Manchester City, when it signed Jack Grealish from Aston Villa for 100 million pounds (113.6 million euros, $123.2 million) in August 2021.
The detail that surprised was that the English club decided to put the link that leads to the networks of the former River player at the head of its profile on social networks.
