6. Angel di Maria – €179m
Argentine playmaker Angel di Maria is currently enjoying his life winning oodles of titles in the French top-tier with Paris Saint Germain. Having won every major trophy there is to win on the club level, he is worth every penny his clubs have spent on him – except for him.
Di Maria has fetched a total of €179m over four transfers and has played for five clubs in his date. Manchester United is the exception we talked about earlier; the Red Devils spent €75m to sign him and made him the most expensive United player back in 2014.
Di Maria, however, failed to produce the expected returns and moved on to PSG following his debut season at Old Trafford. Now at the Parc des Princes, winning the Champions League for a second time remains the biggest target of his remaining career.
6. Alvaro Morata – €179m
Tied with Angel di Maria at the same place his Alvaro Morata, the Spaniard striker who currently plays for Atletico Madrid. The 26-year-old was destined for big things, which is why he has already played for a knot of European heavyweights like Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea and now Atletico.
Throughout his career, Morata has played for six clubs and fetched €179m from five of them. Chelsea spent the highest amount to sign him when they forked out €66m to acquire his services from Real Madrid in 2017.
Now with Atletico following a torrid spell with the Blues, Morata faces a new challenge in the light of the departure of Antoine Griezmann – that of scoring loads of goals that win games for the club.
