#3 Zlatan Ibrahimovic - €169 Million

Manchester United v Sunderland - Premier League
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has played for a record 7 clubs, the most on this list

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the 6ft5in colossal striker has a legacy bigger than his name, and more self-confidence than a squad of players put together. Having played for the biggest names in club football and won domestic accolades across Netherlands, Spain, Italy, France and England, the Swede does not seem to be in the mood to retire anytime soon.

After joining Ajax as a teenager in 2001, the striker moved to Juventus for €16 million in 2004. His goal scoring abilities and physical presence on the pitch saw him move to rivals Inter for €24.8 million in 2006.

His exploits in front of the goal saw him move to Barcelona in 2009 for a club record €69.5 million. With personal problems persisting throughout the season, especially with manager Pep Guardiola, he moved back to Italy-- this time with AC Milan on loan.

He became one of the highest-paid players in the world and won another Scudetto with Milan in the 2010–11 season, making the club sign him for €24 million. A successful career at the club saw him move to PSG in 2012 for €21 million, courtesy of the heavily loaded PSG and super agent Mino Raiola.

After 3 seasons in France, the Swede moved on to Manchester, on a free transfer, to reunite with his favourite boss Mourinho in the hopes of winning a title in England. He is currently at Manchester United, in his second year at the club and going strong at the age of 36.
