Former Birmingham City and Nottingham Forest star Trevor Francis is convinced the first £100 million signing will soon be made.
Brian Clough stunned football in 1979 when he paid twice the previous record fee to take Francis from Birmingham to Nottingham Forest for £1 million.
Francis said: "I thought (the Torres transfer) was too much money just as people thought it was too much when Brian Clough paid £1m for me but there wasn't the surprise as there was in 1979. Football has become awash with money.
"£1m had that magic ring to it and I am sure there will be a £100m transfer. That would be something which would captivate everyone's interest because that would have a magical ring to it."
