13. Raul (Al Sadd) – £38m

The cultured striker was one of the most feared marskmen in Europe during his time at Real Madrid between 1994-2010 as he led them to six Liga titles and three Champions League trophies.

The Spanish attacker, now 35, spent 16 years at Madrid and is the club’s all-time top goal scorer with 323 goals in 741 appearances. He also plundered 44 goals in 102 appearances for his country and is the top scorer in all Uefa competitions with 77 goals.

He left his beloved Real for Schalke in 2010, where he enjoyed two successful years including winning a domestic cup and reaching the Champions League semi-finals. He also scored the 400th goal of his professional career.

Last summer the Spaniard agreed to switch to Qatar Stars League club Al Sadd last summer, where he earns £191,000-a-week tax free and can potentially earn bonuses of up to £244,000-a-year.

Despite his value diminishing as he enters the final chapters in a glorious career, Raul still enjoys a lucrative sponsorship arrangement with Adidas. He also boasts properties including a multi-million pound luxury mansion in the same Madrid neighbourhood as Fernando Torres.
