Juventus spent €15 million on bringing Krasic to Turin in 2010 and he was lauded as the replacement for Pavel Nedved for his energy and creativity, but things turned sour and he revealed his desire to quit the club in January 2012.

His earliest steps in the professional world were taken at the FK Vojvodina club in Novi Sad. In January 2004 he secured a move to CSKA Moscow, where he has assembled a valuable collection of winners' medals: the UEFA Cup in 2005, two Russian League titles (2005 and 2006) and four domestic Cups (2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009).

Having impressed in Russia, Krasic soon made the move to one of Europe's elite as Juve came calling, but less than two seasons later he was already looking for a way out, with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United seemingly interested in his services.

Strengths: Quick and elusive, he has excellent dribbling skills and is a doppelganger for the former Czech Republic midfield star Pavel Nedved.

Weaknesses: Consistency was a problem at Juve and questions have been raised over his committment at the highest level.

Career high: He scored nine goals in 26 games in 2009 to help CSKA to the Russian Cup and was named Serbian Player of the Year.

Career low: Did not play for the Bianconeri in more than two months and only completed a full 90 minutes once in 2011-12.

Style: Fast, elusive, tricky, a traditional winger.

Quotes: "Anyone would be interested in playing in England as it is the most challenging league in the world." Milos Krasic, 2010.

Trivia: Krasic is actually from Kosovo (now a football nation in its own right) as he was born in Kosovska Mitrovica.
