#9 Arjen Robben - €36 million
The master of cutting in from the right flank and curling the ball back into the net, Robben failed to shine at the Santiago Bernabeu. It wasn't his fault that led to his unwarranted exit from the club though.
After two seasons with the club, Robben had settled down perfectly in Spain and was at his marauding best. But the summer of 2009 saw Real Madrid sign two of the best players in the world in the form of Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo. Robben lost his place in the team and was eventually sold to Bayern Munich for €25 million.
The Dutchman later claimed that he was forced to leave Madrid that summer despite being fully committed to fighting for his place in the team. Robben scored 13 league goals for Real in two seasons and also helped them win the La Liga in his debut campaign in 2007.
