Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Inter Milan to Barcelona (2009) - $91.7 Million

As Ibrahimovic starts to enter the later stages of his career (he turns 32 next month) it becomes more and more fascinating to look at his career as a whole. Moving from his native Sweden to Ajax in Holland, to Juventus, Inter Milan, and AC Milan in Italy, to his current club in Paris, Zlatan has been everywhere and won everything.

But it was his move to Barcelona that made the biggest splash...and perhaps his biggest disappointment. Zlatan still won everything with Barca, but there was more than a sense that he was shown the door in favor of the emerging talent of Lionel Messi. Ibrahimovic is many things but humble is not one of them and he was not going to play second fiddle to a "polite little boy."
