7 successful players after leaving Real Madrid

DBasia.news – Finally Manchester United have inaugurated Casemiro, Real Madrid midfielder as in its history, there are players who carved gold ink after leaving Los Blancos.

Manchester United finally signed a new midfielder. With an offer of 60 million euros plus a bonus of 10 million euros, the Red Devils brought in Casemiro.

However, many regret Casemiro’s decision to leave Madrid as the Brazilian player has achieved various successes with Madrid.

However, that does not mean leaving Madrid was a bad move. The following are seven players who have achieved success after leaving Real Madrid.

Achraf Hakimi

Achraf Hakimi is the first player on this list. After not obtaining enough playing opportunities from Zinedine Zidane, Hakimi chose to anchor to Borussia Dortmund.

Together with Dortmund, Hakimi’s abilities developed rapidly. He has matured and emerged as one of the best right-backs since moving to Inter Milan. Hakimi also brought Inter to the Scudetto title.

Not surprisingly, Paris Saint-Germain are willing to spend 66.5 million euros to sign Hakimi. The Moroccan player also won the domestic title with Les Parisiens.

Esteban Cambiasso

Esteban Cambiasso is a player who experienced Real Madrid’s academy. However, the midfielder had difficulty penetrating the El Real first team which is inhabited by many star players.

Finally, Cambiasso headed to Inter Milan on a free transfer. It was when he defended Inter that Cambiasso showed his true spurs.

Cambiasso plays a vital role in Inter’s midfield. He was a key player when Inter won the treble winners in 2010.

Theo Hernandez

Theo Hernandez suffered a similar fate with Hakimi. The 24-year-old player struggled to find the ideal playing time. In fact, Madrid signed him from Atletico Madrid with a dowry of 24 million euros.

AC Milan, who saw Theo Hernandez’s talent, made an offer. Paolo Maldini saw great potential in Hernandez.

Apparently, Milan’s choice was right. Theo Hernandez developed into a strong full-back both in attack and defence. Last season, he led Milan to the Serie A trophy.

Arjen Robben

Madrid was attracted by Arjen Robben’s talent after the player shone with Chelsea. El Real spent 35 million euros to obtain the services of the Dutch player.

However, Robben’s talent was not really used by Madrid. Robben only appeared in 65 games with a score of 13 goals and 15 assists.

Finally, Robben continued his career with Bayern Munich. With FC Hollywood, Robben achieved various successes including the Champions League title. He also won the Bundesliga eight times.

Wesley Sneijder

Wesley Sneijder is a player who was wasted by Real Madrid. Sneijder underwent two seasons with Los Blancos.

Then, Sneijder decided to move to Inter Milan in 2009. With the touch of Jose Mourinho’s cold hands, Sneijder’s appearance was much developed. He was also an important player in Inter’s success in winning three titles in one season.

Mesut Ozil

If previous names struggled to shine in Madrid, Mesut Ozil has a different story. Like Casemiro, Ozil has won various trophies with El Real.

However, in 2013, Mesut Ozil decided to change jerseys. He continued his adventure to the Premier League with Arsenal.

Ozil’s ability is increasingly visible at Arsenal. He became the Gunners attack machine. Ozil appeared in 254 games with 44 goals and 77 assists.

Mateo Kovacic

Mateo Kovacic became a Madrid player in the summer of 2015. He was imported from Inter Milan for a transfer value of 38 million euros.

However, Kovacic is mostly played as a cover. He had difficulty shifting the role of Madrid’s senior midfielders such as Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, to Casemiro.

Madrid also loaned Kovacic to Chelsea to increase playing time. However, as it showed an uphill graph, Kovacic made the Blues want to make up for it.

Finally, Kovacic became a permanent Chelsea player in early July 2019. The Croatian midfielder successfully led Chelsea to the 2020-2021 Champions League.
