Andriy Shevchenko’s spell at Chelsea was a failure
2. Andriy Shevchenko (Chelsea to Dynamo Kyiv, 2009)
Bought for: £31m Sold for: free Loss: £31mChelsea owner Abramovich was a big fan of Shevchenko, who while playing for AC Milan couldn’t miss. Abramovich paid £31m to make the Ukrainian a Chelsea player where he couldn’t hit. His old club Milan loved him enough to take him back to the San Siro for a season on loan and pay his wages. After 3 years on the books though, he went back to his native Ukraine with Dynamo Kyiv, the club where he started his career, for free.

Barcelona incurred one of the biggest losses in history when they sold Zlatan Ibrahimovic to AC Milan in 2011
1. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Barcelona to AC Milan, 2011)
Bought for: £60m Sold for: £20m Loss: £40mYou never can keep Zlatan out of anything can you?
Barcelona sure made a huge investment in terms of money , when they offered £40m + Samuel Eto’o to Internazionale for the Swedish striker, but they did not match it when it came to tactics and strategy.
Ibra was never going to be top dog as long as Lionel Messi prowled the streets at the Camp Nou. Ibra grew disgruntled, his performances dropped, and he eventually was shipped off back to Italy with AC Milan.
