Biggest traitors in soccer
Who has betrayed their clubs over the past? With a couple of controversial transfers going down in recent weeks, Raheem Sterling to Manchester City and Fabian Delph to City, SillySeason thought they’d look into past traitors in the transfer market.
Now everyone says loyalty in football doesn’t exist. Players will play wherever they can and will hardly have any affiliation with clubs they play for.
On this list, we prove that loyalty is dead in football by listing ten players that betrayed their clubs by the transfers they made.
Whether they left directly to a local rival, or eventually joined a rival, these ten players are classed as traitors somewhere and have betrayed one of their former clubs in the past.
The 10 Biggest Traitors in Soccer History
So without further ado, lets take a look into the top-10 list of football traitors.
10. Cesc Fabregas
Tenth place on the list with football’s biggest traitors is Cesc Fabregas.
The Spaniard left FC Barcelona as a youth in order to kick-start his career, and he ended up in the Premier League with Arsenal.
He spent many years at the Emirates Stadium/Highbury and then became the club-captain. However, he then left the club in order to rejoin his boyhood club Barca.
All was fine with that move.
However, after being told he wasn’t wanted by the Catalan club, Fabregas then chose to join…..Chelsea. Arsenal’s London rivals.
Fabregas famously stated he would only play for Arsenal or Barcelona and NEVER another team. He went back on those words and joined up with Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge.
