The globetrotters of the transfer market

marca.com, 5 September 2019, 15:50

Sometimes footballers just can't settle in one place or one club.

The summer transfer window saw some of the game's globetrotters on the move once again.

We've compiled a list of unsettled stars who you may have seen at an airport this summer.

Jese Rodriguez (Sporting CP)

Since he left Real Madrid for Paris Saint-Germain in 2016, the Spaniard has gone out on loan to Las Palmas, Stoke City and Real Betis. Now he's joined Sporting CP on another loan as he looks to rekindle some of the potential that he showed at Los Blancos.

Mario Balotelli (Brescia)

The controversial striker hasn't found a place to call home so far in his career. In recent years, he's had two spells at AC Milan, a year at Liverpool and played for a couple of French clubs in Nice and Marseille. Now he's back in Serie A after joining his hometown side, Brescia.

Joao Cancelo (Manchester City)

In the last two years alone, the right-back has played for three of Europe's heavyweights in Inter, Juventus and now Manchester City.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Roma)

The Armenian became a star at Borussia Dortmund but hasn't had much luck since leaving Germany in 2016. Unsuccessful spells at Manchester United and Arsenal have led to his latest adventure in Italy with Roma.

Radamel Falcao (Galatasaray)

Monaco signed arguably the world's best striker when Radamel Falcao swapped Madrid for Monte Carlo in 2013, but a series of knee injuries have seen his career stop and start. There were loans in the Premier League with Manchester United and Chelsea before the Colombian reinvented himself in France. He joins Galatasaray as a hero, without even having put on the red and gold shirt yet.

Dani Alves (Sao Paulo)

After an extremely successful spell in Spain with Sevilla and Barcelona, the right-back is back home in Brazil. His return to Sao Paulo comes after a year at Juventus and two years at PSG.

Fernando Llorente (Napoli)

Since leaving Athletic Club in 2013, the striker has taken in Turin, Seville, Swansea, north London and now Naples as he looks to live up to the potential he showed at San Mames.

Nikola Kalinic (Roma)

The Croatian striker was hot property during his time at Dnipro and got his move to Fiorentina in 2015. Now, after spells at AC Milan and Atletico Madrid, Kalinic is back in Italy with Roma.

Michy Batshuayi (Chelsea)

On the whole, the Belgian forward has failed to make an impact at Chelsea since joining from Marseille in 2016. He's spent time on loan at Borussia Dortmund, Valencia and Crystal Palace in the last two seasons and now finds himself behind Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud in the pecking order back at Stamford Bridge.
