Inter Milan, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-CF-c40864, AC Milan, Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur were fortunate enough to get good values for their aged players during the last two transfer windows
History is evident that even the top players see their market value drop after every single year. The likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frank-Lampard-c14097
and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gennaro-Gattuso-c14525 are some of the names that decreased their market value over the course of years.
However, Bettor.com presents their users with a list of the clubs that managed to get good money after selling players over 30-years-old.
Samuel Eto’o
Age: 31-year-old
Role: Striker
Price: 30 million Euros
Club: From Inter Milan to Anzhi Makhachkala
The Cameroonian legend joined the Russian Premier League club for reportedly 30 million Euros. Guus Hiddink made Eto’o the highest paid player in the history of football after penning a three-year deal with the former Inter Milan
striker at Dynamo stadium (Makhachkala).
However, the 32-year-old has tried to match the big price tag after scoring 20 goals for the Dagestani club already.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629
Age: 30-year-old
Role: Striker
Price: 40 million Euros
Club: From Valencia to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078
The Spanish striker was signed by then-manager, Pep Guardiola, after impressing during his stay at Mestalla stadium last year. If speculations are to be believed, Barcelona paid a staggering 40 million Euros to sign the prolific
attacker.
However, Villa failed to meet expectations as he sustained repeated injuries after moving to a bigger club.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Cassano-c6302
Age: 30-year-old
Role: Striker
Price: 7 million Euros
Club: From AC Milan to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan
Cassano remains as one of the few players who have completed a move directly from the Milan-based club despite the rivalry between the two Italian giants. However, Inter accepted a 7 million Euros offer from Milan which was too
good to be refused.
However, the Italian striker failed to get more playing time at his new club after following in the footsteps of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903 to leave the Rossoneri.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Barry-c14423
Age: 31-year-old
Role: Midfielder
Price: 18 million Euros
Club: From Aston Villa to Manchester City
Roberto Mancini asked their multi millionaire owner to provide him sufficient funds to sign the 18 million Euros rated English midfielder if they want the English Premier League club to win the league title in near future.
Though Barry became a part of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323’s dream team that managed to clinch their first league title since 1967/68 season, Barry lost his place in his national team after failing to meet the expectations in the 2010 World Cup.
Barry was one of the three high profile players including http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Bent-c10358 to make a move out of the Villa Park in recent years.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Pavlyuchenko-c31639
Age: 30-year-old
Role: Striker
Price: 14 million Euros
Club: From Tottenham Hotspur to Lokomotiv Moscow
There is little arguing to the statement that the North London club managed to get good money for Pavlyuchenko despite the fact that the misfiring striker lost his place in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello’s team at the World Cup qualifiers.
Pavlyuchenko, who impressed in the Russian championship before making a 20 million Euros move to the White Hart Lane, struggled to find consistency in his performances after losing his place in the playing eleven against Emmanuel
Adebayor, Luis Saha, Jermaine Defoe and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peter-Crouch-c29741 respectively.
