In the world of sports, the loudest transfers are in football. Sometimes, for a player's contract, they give money, which would be enough to maintain the city for a year.
It is necessary
Garrett Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Kaka, Edinson Cavani, Radamel Falcao, Hulk
Instructions
Step 1
Salaries for many athletes are calculated as six zeros. This is especially true for football players. Some manage to earn from 2 million euros per season and more, entering the field from 30 to 45 times. It turns out that the club spends fabulous money for the player, paying him money, according to the contract, plus bonus.
But that's not all. In the world of professional sports, there are transfers, that is, the sale of players from one club to another. At the same time, the amount of compensation is simply astronomical, equal to the annual budget of some cities with a hundred thousand people.
Garrett Bale
The most expensive football player at the moment is Garrett Bale. Last year, Real Madrid bought him about Tottenham London for 100 million euros. Many immediately dubbed the deal as "extravagant", since for the same money it was possible to buy a full-fledged team of promising young players who, two or three years later, could lead the club to the championship.
Step 2
Cristiano Ronaldo
The second on the list is Cristiano Ronaldo, who moved from Manchester United to the same Real Madrid for 90 million euros. The contract was signed in 2009. According to the officials of the Royal Club, they managed to recoup the money spent a couple of years later thanks to an increase in stadium attendance, high sales of merchandise, where Ronaldo is mentioned and victories in the Champions League matches, in which the Portuguese often single-handedly made the result
Step 3
Zinedine Zidane
Known to everyone for a head nod at the World Cup in the final match, Zinedine Zidane was sold again to Real Madrid in 2002 for 73.5 million euros. The seller is Juventus Turin. Incidentally, it was Zidane who scored a great goal for the Madrid club in the Champions League final against Bayer Leverkusen. This goal was then shown many times in advertising screensavers and demonstrated as a guide for young football players.
Step 4
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
In 2009, the Swede Zlanat Ibrahimovic donned the Barcelona shirt, leaving the Italian Inter for 69.5 million euros. Zlatan did not play for long at Barça, as he did not find common ground with coach Josep Guardiola, who put the star player on the next transfer a couple of years later. The buyers were found quickly. Now the powerful Swedish footballer regularly scores for the French PSG.
Step 5
Cocoa
In the same year, Real did not stand aside and bought from Milan the rights to the Brazilian genius Kaka. The transaction amount is EUR 65 million. Unfortunately, after a couple of years, Kaka began to lose ground, as the new mentor found a replacement for him, putting the star on the bench. But when a Brazilian gets a chance, he almost always takes it. These players are able to score a couple of goals in 15 minutes.
Step 6
Edinson Cavani
Last year, after Arab money began to form the PSG squad, Edinson Cavani moved to the team from the Italian "Napili". For him, the former club rescued 64, 5 million euros.
Step 7
Radamel Falcao
The same Arab money lured the brilliant Colombian striker Radamel Falcao from Atletico Madrid to another French club, Monaco, last year. The transaction amount is 60 million euros.
Step 8
Hulk
I would like to note the high-profile transfer of the Brazilian Hulk from Porto to Zenit, which blew up the market in 2012. The rights to it were redeemed for 55 million euros. At the same time, local fans were against it, and scandals began within the team, due to which a number of players were forced to change clubs.
