 CNN.com - Overmars announces his retirement - Jul 26, 2004
Overmars became the most expensive Dutch player of all time and the most expensive player in Barcelona history when he signed from Arsenal in July 2000 for a fee of around 36 million euros -- a deal which also included his Arsenal team mate Emmanuel Petit.
Overmars' task was to replace Luis Figo, the Portuguese winger who had been poached by Real Madrid, but he failed to produce the sort of eye-catching attacking form he regularly showed at Arsenal, and Barcelona told him at the end of last season that he could leave the club.
The arrival of Overmars at Barcelona in 2000 coincided with a lean spell for the club and he could not help the Catalans to a single major title in his four years in Spain.
