11 footballers who went on strike to force a transfer:
Transfers in the world of football are not decided only by the player’s talent or club’s will. Many times the players’ stubbornness and spirit plays a big role in it. When a star player does not want to live in the club and the club does not want to let him go, the situation moves towards a conflict.
In such a situation, some players go on strike directly to strengthen their side. Some refuse training, while someone refuses to play the match. Below is a list of 11 such players, who forced the club to bow down in front of their stubbornness.
These are 11 footballers who strike for transfer
11. Pierre Van Huijdonk
In 1997, Huidonk, who played for Nottingham Forest, expressed his desire to leave the club. But the manager kept the transfer fees very high. Annoyed, Huidonk returned to the Netherlands and refused to join the team. He later compared the manager Dave Baiceet to cats and said that any team can become champions without manager.
10. Carlos Tevez
In 2011, Tevez refused to come as a substitute in the Champions League match against Bayern Munich. With this, Manchester City suspended him and Tevez moved to Argentina. In his absence, the agent tried to deal with AC Milan, but could not be transferred. Later, Tevez returned and helped the city win the premiere league.
9. Sebastian Squilaci
In 2010, Squilachi refused to play the Champions League qualifier for Sevia, so that they could go to Arsenal. He later told that if he had played against Braga, he would not have played for Arsenal in Europe. However, he performed quite poorly after transfer.
8. Clint Dempsey
Dampi, who performed brilliantly in Phulham, wanted to leave the club in 2012. A website also launched the news that he had joined Liverpool, while the club did not even offer any offer. Dempi later moved to Totanham.
7. Marcos Rojo (Marcos Rojo)
In 2014, Roho, who was playing for Sporting Lisbon, refused to train for Manchester United transfer. Argentine’s legendary player Veron called him and explained to him. Eventually Roho came to United, but due to problems of work permits, he had to wait for his debut.
6. William Gallas
Galas wanted more money in Chelsea in 2006, but the club refused. Galas went on strike till then and said that if he was forcefully taken into the team, he can deliberately go goals. Eventually he was sent to Arsenal and in return Ashley came to Cole Chelsea.
5. Raheem Sterling
In 2015, Sterling turned down Liverpool’s new contract and made it clear that they wanted to go to Manchester City. When the club tried to stop them, they refused to go on a pre-seasons tour. His agent Aidy Ward went so far ahead that he also abused Jamie Carghar. Finally transferred and reached Sterling City.
4. Leonardo Ulloa
Ulloa, who won the Premier League for Leester City, refused to play when he came to know that he was not selling a club. He wanted to go to Sunderland, but Claudio Raniary did not let him go.

3. Dimitri Payet
In 2016, Pa, who performed brilliantly for West Ham, suddenly decided to leave the club. He described the team’s defensive game as boring and refused to play. He later returned to his old club Marse. Even today, it is not considered good for West Ham fans to take his name.
2. Diego Costa
In Chelsea, Antonio Conte sent a message telling Costa that he is no longer a part of his plan. But they were also not allowed to transfer. An angry Costa moved to Brazil from this situation and stopped there until his deal was completed in January 2018 with Atlatico Madrid.
1. Dimitar Berbatov (Dimitar Berbatov)
In 2008, Manchester wanted to sign United Berbatov, but Totanham chairman Daniel Levi refused to sell him. Berbatov refused to play an important match against Chelsea in anger.
