Goalkeepers SHOULD cost loads of money.

As the men who can single-handedly win vital points for their side with one brilliant save, they SHOULD be among the valuable footballers on the planet.

And yet, incredibly, Ederson’s (almost completed) £34.7m move from Benfica to Manchester City is one of just a handful of times any club has ever spent more than £10million on a man between the sticks.

The headline news is that the as yet uncapped Brazilian will break Gianluigi Buffon's 16 year-old record and become the world's most expensive goalkeeper.

However, the more interesting revelation is that Ederson will become only the ELEVENTH number one to move for a fee of £10million plus.

Here is the full list of the most expensive keepers ever… including some transfers from a LONG time ago:

10. Fraser Forster: £10million- Chelsea to Bournemouth, 2017

9. Petr Cech: £10.9million- Chelsea to Arsenal, 2015

Jan Oblak: £12.6million- Benfica to Atletico Madrid, 2014

7. Jasper Cillessen: £12.8million- Ajax to Barcelona, 2016

6. Angelo Peruzzi: £15.7million- Inter Milan to Lazio, 2000

5. Claudio Bravo: £17million- Barcelona to Manchester City, 2016

4. David de Gea: £18million- Atletico Madrid to Manchester United, 2011

3. Manuel Neuer: £19million- Schalke to Bayern Munich, 2011

2. Gianluigi Buffon: £33million- Parma to Juventus, 2001

1. Ederson: £34.7million (TBC)- Benfica to Manchester City, 2017
