Club owner Suleyman Kerimov decided that the entire squad needed to be sold in order to free up cash for the club.

Anzhi has some very high-profile players who signed for the club at exorbitant transfer fees and highly inflated salaries. Their most expensive player is Brazil’s Willian, who is worth €30m.

Cameroon striker Samuel Eto’o earns close to €20m a year, while Lassana Diarra, who signed from Real Madrid, makes about €5m a year.

The top ten players (list below) in the team have a total market value of €158m.
