6. Claude Makelele (Real Madrid to Chelsea) £14m
The Frenchman had won the La Liga title twice, as well as the Champions League crown in 2002, before Real Madrid decided to let him move to Chelsea. At Stamford Bridge, Makelele redefined the holding midfield role so successfully that the blueprint often carries his name. Although he did not win the Champions League again, he would taste a lot of success with the Blues.
5. Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich to Manchester United) £14.4m
BBC Sport report that the 30-year-old has now completed a £14.4m move to Old Trafford, making him the fifth most expensive golden oldie of all-time. He has achieved practically everything with the Bundesliga side, and United fans will be hoping he can have a similar impact in the Premier League.
