9. Radamel Falcao

Up next, a man who is no stranger to a big-money move. In 2013, Radamel Falcao was Europe’s most wanted man. The Colombian was 27 and in unstoppable form. He could have joined any team he wanted. However, he chose to reside by the Mediterranean Sea, live tax-free and rake in the millions at Monaco in Ligue 1 instead.

Falcao is now 33 years old and his time at a top European club is seemingly over, after two disastrous stints in the Premier League with Manchester United and Chelsea. Today, his current side Monaco are struggling and, considering his age and injury history, it’s doubtful he will join a European giant anymore, even if he is one of this generation’s best goalscorers.

As mentioned, Falcao is no stranger to a big-money move, so selling this man the American Dream should be quite easy.
