Super Eagles legend, Austin Okocha, has revealed his current market worth in the gootball transfer market.
The former Eagles’ captain said he would have cost around €150m in today’s transfer market.
Recall that the former skillful midfielder joined Paris Saint-Germain from Turkish giants Fenerbahce for a then African transfer record fee of £14m.
While speaking at an interview with Turkish outfit, hurriyet, he said, “They paid £106m for their defensive midfielder Chelsea. To a player from Portugal. It would have cost around €150m. My assists, dribbles… World football started to pay a lot of money. Such would be the numbers of players of this quality.
“It was a really difficult decision. I left very sadly. I was very happy in Fenerbahçe. Moreover, I married my wife in Turkey. My children were about to be born.
“When I went to the World Cup, I had no such thing in mind. After the matches in the World Cup, an offer came from PSG. Aziz Yildirim was the president. He didn’t want to send me. He didn’t even interview the PSG Club. This process has been very difficult. Despite my sadness, when such an offer came, I wanted to make money for Fenerbahçe.”
