No clubs have approached the mighty proven goal scorer. Almeda will defiantly prove to be a great singing for any the eight clubs with a guaranteed goal return.

Mutu was one of the names expected to be featuring in the inaugural season of the Indian Super League, but a failed visa and work papers led to the striker not being able to sign for FC Pune this summer.

2) Landon Donovan: 

The American soccer legend who announced his international retirement after his snub from the national team for the last World Cup, is also expected to retire from playing club football for LA Galaxy for whom he has been playing for a decade now, could be one of those names that the ISL brand can lure him to play football for just like three months in a year.

1) Thierry Henry:
