8. Nicolas Anelka (Shanghai to Juventus)
It was one of his final stops on his footballing journey after travelling so much of the world throughout his career.
Anelka joined the Bianconeri at the age of 34, arriving from the Chinese Super League in the winter of 2014, but he played just twice and the following season he joined West Bromwich Albion as a free agent.

Ricardo Quaresma came through the ranks at Sporting CP around the same time as Cristiano Ronaldo, but their careers would take two very different paths. Quaresma joined Barcelona in 2003 but returned to Portugal with Porto just one year later. He rediscovered his form in his home country, winning a move to Italy in 2008.
But Quaresma’s ability and attitude both came under the microscope, with Inter boss Jose Mourinho questioning his team ethic. He was ‘awarded’ the Bidone d’oro (Golden Bin) award for worst Serie A player at the end of his debut season, and joined Besiktas after two unhappy years.
