RICHEST footballer on the planet now available on a free transfer after recent release

Posted by

The richest player in professional football is currently available on a free transfer, reports The Sun.

Footballers having immense wealth at their disposal is not unordinary, particularly in this day and age, but Faiq Bolkiah, formerly of the Southampton, Chelsea and Leicester City academies, is a unique case.

As is mentioned in the report, Bolkiah is the Sultan of Brunei’s nephew. As a result, he’s estimated to be worth a whopping £13bn, which as you’d expect, is more than any other footballer on the planet.

Unfortunately for Bolkiah, football is an industry where money will not take you very far – at least as a player – with his bundles of cash unable to prevent his release from Portuguese Primera Liga minnows Maritimo.

He has subsequently found himself as a free agent and looking for a club. Perhaps he’s slipped The Sun a tenner and asked them to put the advert out. Unfortunately, we received no such proposal.

Still, if there are any clubs out there who are looking to have their Christmas party paid for, Bolkiah IS still free and available. He might not win you the league, but he’s not a bad asset to have on your books, is he?
