#4 Marcelo - £63 million
Real Madrid have had a torrid 2018/19 season and there's nothing that can be done to deny that. Consequently, their head coach Julen Lopetegui has also been given the sack in the wake of Los Blancos' 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Barcelona on Sunday.
But one person who has played his heart out regardless of the results is their left-back Marcelo. Despite being a defender, the Brazilian is an 'attacking-minded' player who can find crucial breakthroughs for his team and provide assists when they are in desperate need of a goal, a quality that has also placed him in the firing line owing to defensive inefficiency.
The 30-year-old has already notched up 3 goals in 10 appearances for Real Madrid this season. His absence in the upcoming matches will definitely be felt.
