#2 Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid (2008-17)
Transfer Fee: £84.6 million
Trending
Major Honours Won: 13 (3x Club World Cups, 4x European Cups, 2x Super Cups, 2x League Titles, 2x Spanish Cups)
Cristiano Ronaldo was already an astonishing player when he left Manchester United in 2008, having lifted the Club World Cup, European Cup, multiple League Titles, FA Cup and League Cup during his six-year spell at Old Trafford.
However, incredibly, that was just a snapshot of what Ronaldo would then accomplish for Real Madrid as he won every Championship available to him for the club, including an incredible four European Cups as he spearheaded the Spanish outfit to dominance not seen since their 1950's pomp.
Madrid paid a then-record £84.6 million for the Portuguese superstar but Ronaldo's success for the club has surely far exceeded their expectations of what was possible in football.
Ronaldo scored an unprecedented 450 goals in just 438 games, averaging over a goal every game, paying back every single penny of the £8 million Madrid shelled out on him.
Ronaldo, more than any other player, contributed to Madrid, once again overtaking Barcelona as the dominant side in La Liga and Europe, as his scintillating performances led to him winning four Ballon d'Or-s during his nine-year spell at the Spanish giants.
