More so, the Premier League team paid 20 million euros to permanently sign the 30-year-old midfielder after Coutinho's brilliant stint at Aston Villa in the 2021/22 season. Next season, he will continue his career at Aston Villa.Makelele was beyond 30 when Chelsea acquired him from Real Madrid for 20 million euros. Makelele did a fantastic job for the premier league club, proving that he was up to the task. Other expensive Premier League additions aged 30 and older include Patricio, Bravo, O. Giroud, Sokratis, Llorente, and Cristiano Ronaldo in addition to Makelele, Coutinho, Trippier, and Wood. At the age of 36, Manchester United paid 15 million euros to acquire the Portuguese winger.Ronaldo, however, disproved all of his detractors by scoring an amazing 24 goals for Manchester United in the season of 2021–2022.
