#5 Gareth Bale (Real Madrid)
Real Madrid spent a then world record fee of £85 million to sign Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013. However, the Welshman struggled with injuries and bad form throughout his Bernabeu career and never managed to make the sort of impact he would have wanted.
The Welshman has played 29 LaLiga games this season and contributed just eight goals and three assists. He was touted to take the center stage at the club following the departure of Cristinao Ronaldo to Juventus last summer, but he failed to live up to the expectations.
According to the recent reports, Los Blancos' manager, Zinedine Zidane told the former Tottenham Hotspur man that he is not a part of his plans at the club and can leave for the greener pastures during the summer transfer window.
