'This is ridiculous': Gallas doesn't believe Saka is worth €100 million
"I always have a problem with the value of a player," said William Gallas on Bukayo Saka being valued at €100 million (as per Transfermarkt).
"If Saka already costs £100 million at 21 years old and he carries on developing at the rate he is now, how much will he be in five years? £300 or £400 million? Come on, come on. This is getting ridiculous!
"Sometimes clubs are very clever because everybody is desperate to sign players for big fees, but sometimes these players disappear.
"I don't want to see a player like Saka, who is a really good young player who is improving every game, disappear in a few years."
The former Arsenal captain continued: "Don't put too much pressure on his shoulders, that always comes from the media and you never know what that impact will be on the players.
"You need to give players time to prove, to get more experience, to be strong, to deal with all that pressure on their shoulders.
"Cristiano Ronaldo was very strong when he moved to Real Madrid from Manchester United, but he had already won a Ballon d'Or.
"His value was around £80 million and that was his real value. Nowadays, £100 million players haven't won anything yet! So that is why I have a problem with it."
Well, Saka is in line to win his very first trophy provided Arsenal go all the way to win the Premier League title this season.
We're also in the running to win the Europa League, which would further cement Saka's status as an elite footballer.
