#3 Naldo | 65 goals
Naldo, like Daniel Van Buyten, was a tall centre-back who enjoyed a good spell in the Bundesliga.
The Brazil international spent much of his career representing Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg. At Werder Bremen, Naldo made 254 appearances in all competitions, scoring 36 goals and winning the DFB-Pokal in 2009. He was also part of the their runners-up finish in the 2008-09 UEFA Cup.
With Wolfsburg, the centre-back made 163 appearances in all competitions and scored 20 goals, winning another DFB-Pokal with the Wolves.
His spells with Schalke and AS Monaco were less successful. Naldo retired in 2020 and is currently a member of the coaching staff at the Royal Blues.
#2 John Terry | 67 goals
Regarded as one of the best centre-backs of the modern game, John Terry spent almost the entirety of his career with Chelsea.
A product of the Chelsea academy, Terry has made 713 appearances in all competitions for the club, scoring 67 goals. A dominant centre-back, the England international was reknowned for his leadership ability. He won five Premier League titles and one Champions League trophy with the Blues.
The centre-back departed Chelsea in 2017 and spent a season with Aston Villa, where he assumed the role of assistant head coach post-retirement in 2018.
#1 Sergio Ramos | 104 goals
Sergio Ramos is an anomaly in the world of football, with very few players regarded as highly as him at the age of 35.
His fitness may have been a problem during the 2020-21 season but Ramos was a near constant fixture in the Real Madrid first XI since joining the club in 2005. An aggressive centre-back with good technical skills, the Spain international is considered a Real Madrid legend.
Ramos departed Real Madrid a few weeks ago and has been heavily linked with Paris Saint-Germain. It is evident that the centre-back can offer a lot at the highest level and signing him on a free transfer would be a good bargain for any club.
