Listen Later

In this episode, we focus on the bizarre journey of Robert Yarni, a talented international fullback from Croatia. Yarni's story takes us from his successful career in Europe to a surprising transfer to Coventry City, only to be sold to Real Madrid without even playing a game for the English club. We explore the circumstances surrounding this unusual transfer and the impact it had on Yarni's career.



Yarni's move to Coventry City was met with excitement and anticipation from supporters, but it quickly turned into disappointment when he was sold to Real Madrid just a week later. We uncover the reasons behind this unexpected transfer and the role played by Real Madrid's interest in Yarni.



Despite his talent, Yarni struggled to break into the first team at Real Madrid due to the presence of legendary left back Roberto Carlos. We also discuss Yarni's subsequent move to Las Palmas and the challenges he faced in his career.



Join host Sumit Sharma as he delves into one of the strangest transfers in football history.
