The 38-year-old Dutchman made nearly 600 appearances across competitions for four different clubs, most of them coming with Arsenal and Manchester United. Van Persie played a key role in United's 2012-13 Premier League triumph, scoring 26 league goals.
The Dutchman retired at the end of the 2018-19 season following a spell with Feyenoord. Van Persie then took up the role of 'forward coach' with his boyhood club.
Van Persie is now the assistant coach of Feyenoord's Under-16 team.
#2 Fernando Torres (Atletico Madrid U19) - €50 million
Fernando Torres was one of the most lethal goalscorers in the game during his playing days.
The 38-year-old played over 700 games across divisions during a successful two-decade long career. Torres enjoyed a blistering stint with Liverpool, but his lone Champions League triumph came during a rather quiet spell with Chelsea.
Torres also found success with Spain, winning the FIFA World Cup once and the European Championship twice. Upon ending his playing career in 2019, the Spaniard joined his boyhood club Atletico Madrid for his first managerial assignment.
Torres currently manages the Rojiblancos' Under-19 team.
#1 Thierry Henry (Belgium) - €50 million
Thierry Henry is one of the best strikers to have graced the beautiful game, especially since the turn of the century.
A quintessential goalscorer, the 44-year-old scored 360 goals in nearly 800 appearances for five different clubs. The all-time Arsenal top-scorer was also part of Barcelona's historic 2008-09 UEFA Champions League-winning team.
After calling time on his career in 2014, Henry had his first managerial assignment at Arsenal, where he served as the Gunners' youth coach.
The 1998 FIFA World Cup winner is now Belgium's assistant manager, serving as deputy to Roberto Martinez.
Henry will hope to replicate the success he enjoyed on the field during his stint on the other side of the touchline.
