Players with the coolest careers

Which players careers do you look at with tinted glasses taken off and think they’ve had a belting run of clubs? Love characters like Maldini and Totti who were utter class for one club there whole careers but journeymen who’ve played for top clubs across multiple countries look quality careers for me and Cancelo is one that stands out in that regard

Benfica
Valencia
Inter
Juve
Man City
Bayern
Barcelona

Ibra’s is pretty cool too despite my distaste for the red half of Manchester but slightly blemished by his only long term spell being at the soulless PSG, others that spring to mind Crespo, Christian Vieri, Higuain etc, basically think the willingness the top Italian teams have to sell to each other plays apart in a lot of these!

Phil Foden if he stays at city will have more medals than Giggs, surely a player should be judged on his medal collection not who he played for

Mix of both for me, Gerrard had a miles better career than Phil Neville or Nicky Butt but probably not if you go on medals think it must be class to play for loads of historic clubs especially if they are doing well at the time
Ronaldo's was decent till his current team.
Proper Ronaldos one was good too, don’t know much Brazilian football but Corinthians and cruzeiro two of the more well known and a fantastic European CV
