Six stars who went above and beyond to force move amid Robert Lewandowski "loyalty" dig

All good things come to an end, and it's very rare in this day and age that players remain at one club for the entirety of their career.

When a player feels as though it's time to move on, the dream scenario is that they can reach an amicable agreement with their current employers to honour their wishes. However, unfortunately this isn't always the case and it can all get a bit ugly.
