The only thing we are really confident with this list is that it definitely will not look the same when the transfer window close in a month. Here is our list of the 10 best transfers so far.
1. Alexis Sanchez
Udinese – Barcelona
Udinese has been negotiating so hard that the Barca fans started to despair. But then finally it was official Alexis Sanchez will be a Barca player next year.
2. André Villas-Boas
Porto-Chelsea
Jose Mourinho was Chelsea’s most successful coach in the club’s history. How do you do to repeat the success? Well, you recruit “the new Mourinho”. Said and done. In June the 33-year-old-André Villas-Boas signed a three year contract.
3. Fabio Coentrao
Benfica – Real Madrid
Has this year’s biggest price tag so far. The question is if he will be worth it?
4. Ashley Young
Aston Villa – Man. United
Sir Alex Ferguson has been very active in the beginning of the current transfer window. Ashley Young has been a favorite player for a long time and the Scot brought the big bucks to get Young.
5. Andrea Pirlo

2001 Andrea Pirlo joined Milan from Inter. Ten years later, Pirlo is involved in yet another controversial transfer. This makes him the fourth player in history to represent Italy’s three major clubs.
