Top five craziest transfers in football history

Luis Enrique left fr Barcelona from Real Madrid on a free transfer which enraged the Madrid ultras

Change is the only thing which is constant and that applies to football clubs as well. While clubs try to get the best deal in trying to sign players, sometimes it just does not work out and blows up in the face spectacularly. Big players often go missing when they sign for a club while an unknown player suddenly becomes a world beater and is called the signing of the season, Michu anyone?.

Here we have a list of some of the craziest transfers ever to take place.

Luis Enrique

The best way to become hated by your previous club is leaving for free, making sure the club does not receive a penny for your service and just moving for nothing. The best way to be hated and not be ever mentioned in club fol lore and end up in abusive chants is to leave for free is to be one of the best players in the team and then join your fiercest rivals. Luis Enrique , the former Roma manager did just that. He had spent five seasons in Madrid playing for Real and when his contract expired, he moved to Barcelona. Luis Enrique is so hated in Madrid since his move that the Ultras made their own version of “whack a mole” when he visited Madrid for the last time. Of course it does not help when you kiss the club badge after scoring a goal against your former employers.
