5. Ricardo Alvarez — $20 million
On fourth place is Ricardo Alvarez. The guy that made the 23-man squad that came in second at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Despite his great performance, he was sent on loan at Sunderland from Internazionale where he is not having such a good season either.
Sending a young player like Alvarez to a less-heralded club like this would reap rewards for Inter in terms of his development, but that is only on paper.
Leaving his market value at side, Alvarez has only played six league games for the Black Cats, with no goals or assists and an average of 36 minutes each game.
