Zlatan slams £117m Rogers deal, questions Yamal’s value

At dawn, Zlatan Ibrahimovic watched the news of Morgan Rogers’ pending move to Chelsea, a transfer valued at up to €137 million from Aston Villa, and erupted in disbelief, calling the price absurd while wondering how much Lamine Yamal might be worth, and demanding an immediate halt.

Ibrahimovic told , "This must stop immediately," adding that not every player is worth 100 million pounds and that the fee "runs out of hand." His comments were made in response to the announced £117 million price tag for the English international.

The 23‑year‑old playmaker is set to become the most expensive English footballer ever as he leaves Aston Villa for The Blues, a move that would see him join Chelsea for a record sum.

In the same tirade, Ibrahimovic questioned the future valuations of Lamine Yamal, Vinícius and Michael Olise, asking how much they could be worth if Rogers commands £117 million, emphasizing his belief that such spending is unsustainable.

The Swedish football legend, a former Ajax player, reiterated that the market is spiralling, describing the €137 million figure as "ridiculous" and urging an end to such inflated deals.

His final warning underscored a broader concern: the transfer market must be reined in before fees continue to soar beyond reasonable limits.
