Internazionale to Barcelona – €69-million (2009)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s transfer to Barcelona was doomed to fail from the very beginning. A player of Ibrahimovic’s sizeable talent and ego will always demand to be the main man at any club; however this was always unlikely to happen at a club where Lionel Messi was already king. Perhaps the most baffling part of this transfer was the valuation of Samuel Eto’o at only €20-million, a player who had been instrumental in Barcelona’s continental domination. Throughout the course of his only season at Barcelona Ibrahimovic’s relationship with Pep Guardiola deteriorated at an alarming rate. This culminated with the Swede being sent on loan to AC Milan, who a season later signed him for only €24-million, representing a big loss for Barcelona in their initial outlay.
