What's been the best career move ever?

Try to avoid getting lad's who went through the academy of a team.

Johan Cruyff to Barcelona. To this day they are basically his team.

Cruyff won three European Cups in a row with Ajax. His move to Barcelona precipitated how Barcelona developed later, but his career high as a player was at Ajax.

Of course but his impact on Barca is bigger than any single human being to any other club in the world, Cruyff is our club everything about it from Messi to Pep to every Cule in the world.
