Who is currently the most expensive football player in the world?

Question

And how much are they worth?

Answer 1

Messi. His contract clause at Barca is 150 million. That is how much someone would have to pay to get Messi from Barca.

Answer 2

According to your ques., the most expensive football player in the world till date is Zinedine Zidane. Real Madrid paid Juventus around 66m euros (45.6m pounds) for Zizou in 2001 for a 4 yr contract.

Answer 3

It's either Kaka or C. Ronaldo, I don't think that they're worth what those teams like R. Madrid are willing to pay for them. Maybe 40 or tops 50 million, yeah, but to pay over a 100 million, I don't think they're worth that much, they play the same soccer that all the others do. Give a 20 year old guy about 3 million (but he's gotta know how to play, not just some random guy, N he's hungry for victory, if u know wut I mean.) He might just make the same kind of plays that C. Ronaldo N Kaka can make, Not just because u get a pass from them does it mean U automatically make a goal, they're just ordinary players.

Answer 4

I reckon at the moment it has to be Messi. This kid is becoming more and more like Maradona every game he plays. Remeber that goal and that hand ball?!
He is not for sale at the moment and has a massive release clause of about £100m or so. If anyone wants to buy him they would have to break the bank. He is class, twice as good as that **** Kaka and only 20 years old!
Madrid paid £47m for "the mad monk" 6 years ago so do the sums and your probably looking at £60-65m wich should open Abramovich's eyes and his piggy bank, but can't see him leaving the climate of Spain to go to London for rain and pie and mash!!!.

Answer 5

Zinédine Yazid Zidane. He cost was £47 million(approx. $66 million US), making him the most expensive player in football history.

but right now Real Madrid r offering probably 80 million euros (or even more) 4 AC Milan's Kaka. so IF kaka signs 4 real madrid then it would b the highest transfer rate ever! (but milan said that kaka's not 4 sale & kaka havent yet shown any intension 2 move 2 real). however kaka is surely worth of it coz at the moment he's undoubtly the best footballer on this planet! he roxxx.. :D

so till now, RONALDINHO is the RICHEST player of the world
& ZIDANE was the most XPENSIVE player 2 buy, the highest transfer rate so far.

Answer 8

David Beckan or Ronaldinho

Answer 9

has to be C.Ronaldo or Kaka.... i can't imagine any other player who might be worth more than any of those 2

Answer 10

i heard that real madrid offerd 100million $
for AC Milan to buy Kaka
so i guess it is Kaka
