Džeko left Fiorentina in January and joined Schalke as a free agent. His market value at the time was 1.5 million euros, the same as it is today. This transfer occurred when Džeko was 39 years old and appears to have been a perfect move, as he was in top form for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team during the playoff matches against Wales and Italy, which secured our qualification for the World Cup. Among the notable transfers is that of James Rodriguez, who last year at the age of 33 moved from Rayo Vallecano to Mexico’s León. His market value was then 2.5 million euros, and he currently plays for Minnesota in the United States. Montenegrin Stevan Jovetić was a free agent two years ago and, at the age of 34, signed with Cypriot club Omonia from Nicosia, where he still plays today. Emmanuel Adebayor retired three years ago, but his shocking transfer in 2020 remains memorable, when he signed with Paraguay’s Olimpia as a free agent at the age of 35. Another retired player, Mamadou Sakho, surprised with his transfer two years ago when, at 34 and as a free agent, he signed with Georgia’s Torpedo from Kutaisi.
