5 retired players of last decade who could have broken the £100 million barrier in today’s market

#5 Zinedine Zidane

French players are somewhat of a money magnet for the clubs they play in. The trend was set way back in the early 2000s by this very man: Zinedine Zidane. Right now, the most expensive player in the world is a French midfielder and the player most likely to break that record, Kylian Mbappe, is a Frenchie, too.

Zinedine Zidane is a legend, a poet that wrote poems with the ball at his feet. He could do things with a football that Mozart could do with a piano; he gave it pleasure, the kind every lover dreams of from their partner.

That was the ability of the French maestro. At one point in time, he held the record of the most expensive player in the world, something which he would still be had he been an active player in his peak.

£100 million? Nah, much more. Much, much more.

Is there anyone not mentioned here, but would have broken the margin according to you?! Use the comments section to let us know!
