8-Gabriel Milito-
Gabriel Milito was signed for €18.5million from Real Zaragoza. The Independiente legend was supposed to pair up with Carles Puyol in the centre-back position. But he underperformed and was never able to establish himself in the team.
He made 48 appearances in four seasons at the club before leaving for his childhood club, Independiente on a free transfer. As a result, the club incurred a loss.
