#7 Marco Van Basten to AC Milan
Adriano Galliani paid €600,000 to sign Marco Van Basten from Ajax and it is the best bit of business he has ever done. It was the signing of the Dutch trio of Frank Rijkaard, Ruud Gullit and Marco Van Basten that transformed the Rossoneri towards the latter part of the 20th century.
Van Basten made history at Ajax and his great goalscoring record lays just the backdrop for his artistry on the football ground. Known for springing up with moments of individual brilliance and some of the best volleys ever seen, Van Basten won the Ballon d'Or 1988, 1989 and 1992.
He won four Serie A titles and two European Cups at AC Milan scoring 90 goals from 147 games. However, he is remembered as a tragic hero at AC Milan thanks to how his career ended.
He suffered an ankle injury so grave in 1993 that it forced him to hang up his boots in 1995. His last game for AC Milan was their UEFA Champions League final loss to Marseille. Despite the unfortunate ending, AC Milan fans still hail him as one of the greatest ever to have donned the red and black.
#6 Thierry Henry to Arsenal
One of the modern day greats and a true Premier League legend, Thierry Henry's signing is considered as one of the best things that Arsene Wenger has done since taking over as the manager of the Gunners.
Arsene Wenger managed to secure the French striker's services for £11 million from AS Monaco and Henry led the Arsenal side through their greatest years since the turn of the millenium,
After stuttering a bit in his early days, Henry scored 26 goals across all competitions in his debut season in England. He won the English Premier League and the FA Cup in 2002 and also won the PFA Player of the Year Award and became the runner-up in the FIFA Player of the Year Award the same year.
Henry was also one of the most important cogs in the famed 'Invincibles' side and by the time he moved on to Barcelona, he had won two Premier League titles and three FA Cups and had transformed Arsenal into one of the top sides in Europe.
#5 Diego Maradona to Napoli
Diego Maradona was already being hailed as one of the greatest to have ever kicked a football thanks to his exploits for the Argentine national team. After a spell at Barcelona that was shrouded in controversy, Maradona needed Napoli just as much as they needed him.
He moved to Napoli from Barcelona for a then record £6.9 million and led them through their most dominant phase in the Italian top-flight. The Partenopei won their first Serie A title and the Coppa Italia in 1987 with Maradona as their main man. They won it again in 1990.
Maradona's impact was so significant that Naples still celebrates Maradona as one of their greatest heroes and their streets are adorned with murals of him. He has achieved a God-like status in the city and though his later days were marred by drug and sex scandals, he is still one of the most respected players to have ever donned the blue kit for Napoli.
#4 Johan Cruyff to Barcelona
Johan Cruyff was already the best player in the world when he moved to Barcelona in 1973 for $2 million after winning eight Dutch league titles and three European Cups with Ajax.
Cruyff won the Barcelona fans over quite swiftly and went on to become one of the most influential figures in the history of the club and in the history of football. Considered as one of the people who have revolutionized the way that football was played, it is Cruyff that made the Barcelona academy La Masia what it is today.
Cruyff was at Barcelona for 5 seasons and he won one league title and one Copa Del Rey. Cruyff's close relationship with Barcelona brought him back to the Camp Nou in 1988 as the manager and he won four La Liga titles one Copa Del Rey and he also led them to their first European Cup title in 1992.
