Liga MX doesn’t have the same international prestige as other leagues, but Mexico’s top-flight has slowly become a feeding ground for European soccer and other economically powerful leagues to bolster their ranks.
Over the past decade, a number of both national and international players that have shined in Liga MX have made the jump to Europe, returning exorbitant amounts of money as they depart.
Pachuca, thanks to their renowned academy, and Club América, backed by their historic tradition of fostering the best talent in Mexico, are the two clubs with the highest number of international exports that have merited large transfer fees. However, more clubs are slowly following in their footsteps.
This week, former Monterrey star Nelson Deossa became the latest Liga MX export. Following a breakout performance in the 2025 Club World Cup, Deossa will join Real Betis in La Liga for a fee worth up to $16 million.
Deossa now enters the top five of most expensive outgoing Liga MX transfers of all time. Since the beginning of the 2010s, as transfer fees worldwide increased exponentially, Mexico’s top-flight is no excuse.
Here are the top 10 most expensive outgoing transfers of all time in Liga MX.
