Nani
Club: Fenerbahçe
Age: 28
Position: Forward
Portuguese. He hasn't reached his thirties yet, but his best times in football already seem to be over. He didn't have a place at United and, after playing on loan at Sporting Portugal, he arrived in Turkey for 6 million.
Quaresma
Club: Besiktas
Age: 31
Position: Forward
Portuguese. He has returned to Besiktas after recovering as a top-level footballer at Porto, also in his second spell. The Turks have paid 1.2 million for their idol.
Diego
Club: Fenerbahçe
Age: 30
Position: Midfielder
Brazilian. He was an important player in his first spell at Atlético, but then he didn't fit in and neither Wolfsburg nor Atlético wanted him. He landed at Fenerbahçe, without as much pressure. His second season.
Van Persie
Club: Fenerbahçe
Age: 31
Position: Forward
Dutch. Last year he didn't have much prominence with Van Gaal at United and Fenerbahçe managed to sign him for 5.5 million. The way to convince the player was to offer him a juicy salary of 3.5 million euros per season. Fenerbahçe doesn't want Galatasaray to become champion again like last year and with Van Persie it will be easier.
Bosingwa
Club: Trabzonspor
Age: 32
Position: Defender
Portuguese. He succeeded with Porto and Chelsea, but the passing of the years sent him to QPR first and then to Trabzonspor. It will be his third season in a team where he is a regular at full-back.
Podolski
Club: Galatasaray
Age: 30
Position: Forward
German. Galatasaray has paid 2.5 million to Arsenal for the German, who last season played on loan without luck at Inter. He didn't perform at Bayern or Arsenal, but did at Cologne and the national team.
Etoo
Club: Antalyaspor
Age: 34
Position: Forward
Cameroonian. He will earn 3.3 million per season at newly promoted Antalyaspor, which has also tried to sign Ronaldinho and Totti this summer. He became a star at Barcelona after leaving Madrid and growing at Mallorca and has since played for Inter, Anzhi, Chelsea, Everton and Sampdoria. A media icon.
Sneijder
Club: Galatasaray
Age: 31
Position: Midfielder
Dutch. Ajax, Real Madrid and Inter were his successful career before arriving, two and a half seasons ago, at Galatasaray. In a football with less physical demands, he is still the general captain and superstar.
Mario Gómez
Club: Besiktas
Age: 30
Position: Forward
German. Loaned from Fiorentina to Besiktas. When he left Bayern for Florence, it seemed that he would still have a career at the highest level, but injuries have harmed him. He has ended up in Turkey.
Cicinho
Club: Sivasspor
Age: 35
Position: Defender
Brazilian. The former right-back of Real Madrid, Roma and Villarreal is finishing his career at Sivasspor. This will be his third season in Turkey. In the previous two, he has been undisputed.
