10 most bizarre football transfer fees ever paid

1. Liviu Baicea and Ion Radu

Known for the eccentric, Romanian club Jiul Petrosani had not one but two such bizarre transfers under their name, as they sold the pair of Liviu Baicea and Ion Radu for 10 footballs and two tons of meat, respectively.

Probably seeing a scarcity in playing equipment and being too lazy to go buy them, the club handed over Baicea to UT Arad in return for 10 footballs, while Radu was sold to Valcea, quite literally, like a piece of meat. The club got in return two tons of it, with their president claiming that they would sell the meat and then pay for the other players’ salaries.
