The most expensive footballers...................in the world!!!!!!!!!!

Having read of the impending transfer of one Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid for €80million and the recent massive transfer of Mr. Ricky Kaka for €60 million, i had an idea for a post.

If you accept that some players today are very good, but are they as good as players of yore (Maradona vs Ronaldo, Zico vs Kaka, etc) then you could come up with a list of players, how much they'd be worth now and where they'd end up.
I am assuming for the purposes of this list that all players are 25 years old (prime of career), injury free and willing to move.

Pele. No doubt one of the top 5 footballers of all time, the economics in Brazilian/South AMerican football would mean he would have been either sold to a third party (a la Tevez) or sold to Europe in fairly short order. playing Spain for either Barca/Madrid or Valencia - Transfer value €60 million - you can't top his goalscoring record.

Diego Maradona -Currently playing for Inter Milan - Transfer Value €60 million.

Alfredo Di Stefano - (IMO the best player in the history of the game) - Real Madrid (where else) €75 million.

Ferenc Puskas - Up there with the best - AC Milan - €45 Million

Gerd Muller - Best Goalscorer bar none - Man Utd/Chelsea - €50 million

Johan Cruijff - Barca - €50 million

Kenny Daglish - Liverpool - €35 million

Chris Waddle - Juventus - €28 million

Zico - Inter Milan - €60 million

Dr. Socrates - Real Madrid - €50 million
you get the idea.
