Alexis Sanchez swapped London for Manchester in January
After completing a big transfer, most footballers expect to be happy at their new team. Whether they have moved to compete for trophies or to fulfil a childhood dream, the majority of players have a big say in the team that they are transferred to.
Fabinho has been a first-team starter since making his breakthrough as a 20-year-old at Monaco. After being a key player and featuring over 200 times for the club, the Brazilian was signed by Liverpool for £40 million in the summer.
Llorente has not been provided with opportunities by the London club
After an impressive debut Premier League season with Swansea, Llorente earned a £12 million move to Tottenham. Llorente’s role has diminished over time, and now he is now fortunate to even make an appearance off of the bench.
Malcom was expected to join Roma before he signed for Barcelona
Malcom joined Barcelona in the summer after a breakthrough season in France for Bordeaux. The 21-year-old was thrilled to join one of the world’s biggest clubs, however, he clearly made the wrong decision in joining the Spanish club over Roma.
Chelsea broke their transfer record to sign the Spanish striker
Chelsea beat off competition from a number of teams to sign Alvaro Morata back in the summer of 2017. His struggles have been much criticised by experts, and unsurprisingly the expensive signing is already being linked with a return to either Italy and Spain.
Sanchez could have joined Manchester City upon his contract expiring in the summer and Pep’s team would have presented the Chilean with a platform to win the game’s biggest trophies.
