7 Players Who Moved to Escape The Shadow of Another Player

Manchester City and Atlético Madrid have announced the transfer of Julián Álvarez, and we all know why the Argentine striker made that move, don’t we? He realized he would never be preferred to Erling Haaland at City, so he decided to leave the Norwegian’s shadow and check out.

But of course, Álvarez is not the only player who has left a club for that reason. There are more players who fall into this category, and it is those guys we want to talk about in this video.

Gotte respect Benzy for his patience it won him a ballon d'or, he was over showed but stayed on

The difference in Neymar and Alvarez deal is that Neymar wanted to be THE MAIN MAN in the team which was impossible and Alvarez had to move out because he wasn't becoming a starter anytime soon and wasn't even getting to play in his preferred position .
People are saying that Atletico has overpaid which is understandable but Alvarez is the player who has the ability to justify every cent spent on him

Poor Rodrygo. He deserves more appreciation than he currently gets.

[Mr.Fully_Gaming]

Alvarez won everything already so he can retire anytime he want

Angel Di Maria – After a successful season with Real Madrid, Di Maria was somewhat overshadowed by the arrival of high-profile signings like James Rodríguez and Gareth Bale. This led him to leave for Manchester United in 2014. He later moved to Paris Saint-Germain, where he became a key player and found greater prominence.

Now Ramsdale is in the shadow of David Raya.
Other players like Cole Palmer, Fabio Carvalho

As a barca fan, rodrygo is very underrated

Bro literally forgot Keylor Navas First at Madrid, where he was benched by Courtois. Then he moved to PSG and got benched by Donnarumma, so he then went to Nottingham Forest

I GUESS IT DID BACKFIRE FOR SOME BUT IT WAS A JOY TO SEE THEM PLAY.🔥.

Crazy Martinez left becuase he was in shadow of leno, then leno left becuase he was in shadow of ramsdale and now ramsdale might leave becuase he's in teh shadow of raya... all at arsenal...

[Freedomabhivyaktikiaazadi]

Di Maria was also overshadowed by Messi in Argentina as he never get the deserving accolades he truly deserves.
