Thought of another one there - Denílson
Denílson broke the world record transfer fee when Real Betis paid São Paulo FC £21.5 million for his services.Denílson had been with São Paulo since 1995. Real Betis had been impressed by Denílson's performance at the Copa América 1997, so signed him in the summer of 1998. How they would rue this decision.
In 1999—2000, after Real Betis had remarkably been relegated to the Segunda División, Denílson went on a brief loan to Flamengo. His performance for the Seville club had been disappointing and most fans considered him a liability at this stage. At the time of his subsequent transfer to Bordeaux (In France) he was no longer included in the Betis squad. What followed Bordeaux was a number of random and useless clubs from Brazil, Arabia and finally, Viet Nam - all in search of ridiculously high wages - not unlike Nicky Butt.
Having been rejected by Bolton Wanderers after a brief trial with footballing Messiah, Gary "Handsome" Megson, Denilson signed a six month contract with Vietnamese club Xi Măng Hải Phòng earning $5.5m, a deal that made the Brazilian the V-League's highest paid player in its history. After much speculation about Denílson's anticipated debut for Xi Măng Hải Phòng, on 21 June 2009, he finally played his first game and scored from a free-kick just two minutes into the game against Hoàng Anh Gia Lai. After only three weeks at the club he quit, playing just half a match and scoring one goal for the club, due to injury; a real fan's favourite.
On January 2010, Denilson signed a two-year contract with the Greek club AO Kavala. Kavala released him from his contract in April, after just three months and no matches for the team.
61 Caps for Brazil though
