4. Lukas Podolski (Arsenal to Inter)

After very good seasons at Bayern Munich and Cologne, the German ended up at Inter in the winter of 2014/15 when he was no longer a regular at Arsenal.
In Serie A, he didn’t manage to shine either and, despite playing 17 league games, he only managed a single goal.
That summer, he opted for another change of scenery and left on loan to join Galatasaray.
3. Diego (Werder to Juventus)

The 2009/10 season was one to forget for Juventus. They finished seventh in Serie A, failed to make it out of the Champions League group stages, and were knocked out of the Europa League by Fulham. Fans needed a scapegoat, and they laid the blame at the door of Diego, a €24.5m signing from Werder Bremen.
Diego had dazzled in Germany with 54 goals in three seasons for Bremen, but the lack of support he received from midfielders Christian Poulsen and Felipe Melo (who also appear on this list) at Juventus meant that opposition defences could easily deal with him. After one season in which he only showed flashes of brilliance, he returned to Germany.
