If Mbappe is now worth £200m, then Maradona in his prime would worth £1b, and the king Pele’s price tag would have been “you simply can't afford him”
Truly the transfer market has become super inflated since the astronomical fee PSG paid to get Neymar Jnr.
No doubt, he's a good player, but the money makes you wonder and you ask yourself; then how should the Peles, Maradona,Zidane, Johan Cruyff, Ronaldo da Lima,Ronaldinho be priced in today's market value.
King Pele:
Now Imagine a 16 year old Santos F.C player today score 3 goals against the Pogba led star studded French side in a world cup semi final.
And the same wonderkid scores a brace against luka modric led Croatia in the final, how much will Madrid be willing to pay to sign him?- hundreds of millions.
To make matters worse, santos. F.C refused to sell to Madrid or any other club.
The refusal alone will increase his net worth and more will splash millions on him.
Let's say the same kid scored amazing goals that amazed not only the football world but the entire planet.
His goals get hundreds of millions of You tube views and downloads, and his Puskas award winning goal get 2 billion views.
He won the Brazilian league, south American copa libertadores, and in the FIFA world club cup, he scores a brace against the same real Madrid and wins it for santos.
You can guess how much real Madrid will table now for his signature- a record £1 billion and the news will be heard by all 7.5 billion inhabitants on the planet and if possible, it will reach Elon Musk robotic roadster on its way to Mars.
Then the Brazilian government comes with a news to break Madrid's heart, Barca's and all top clubs looking for his signature.
“O Rei (King Pele) is now a national treasure and hence he would never play for any team outside Brazil “
The same kid goes on to win the 2022 and 2026 world cup with Brazil,scoring at least 5 goals in each and getting a goal(or a brace) in the final matches.
Now, he's at his prime of 26 years old, having conquered the world on 3 different occasions and just coming back from the 2026 FIFA world cup.
Madrid, Barca et al are wondering how much to top the already rejected one billion pounds to sign this GOAT…
And Santos F.C placed a tag on him.. “He's priceless, just forget about him and move on to another player”
MARADONA:
Now as most clubs are trying to recover from Pele's disappointment….
Then came a relatively unknown Argentine playing for Napoli; a great dribbler with amazing pace, scores wonderful goals and is unstoppable.
He single handedly took Napoli to win the scudetto, where juventus, both Milanese teams are heavily star studded with names like CR7, zidane,the dutch A.C Milan trivalent (Guillit, Rhijkaard, van Basten).
He went to the world cup and did a solo against the English team to score the “mother of all goals”- The greatest goal ever in football history.
How much do you think it will cost any team to sign him from Napoli?
I know what you are thinking- Nothing less than a billion dollar.
- How much would any club be willing to pay the “Harry Potter” Zinedine Zidane with his eternal control, sublime skills and beautiful goals with both feet.
- Do you think Ronaldo da Lima of Brazil will come any cheap after his explosive one season in Barcelona with goals that still make Mbappe, messi and Ronaldo's goals look like child's play.
- How are you ready to break the bank to have the smiles of Ronaldinho Gaucho, to see him entertain fans every single week and even get your greatest rival club give him a standing ovation.
- Let's not even go far..how much do you pay to get these 2 players who have won 5 ballon d'or apiece-( Messi-ronaldo)
Let me hear your opinions.
