Jay-Jay Okocha, the Nigerian football legend, recently stated that if he were playing currently, his market value would be around €1 billion. He attributed this to his exceptional dribbling skills, which he believes would make him a highly sought-after player by clubs worldwide.

In an interview with Hurriyet, Okocha commented on the recent signing of Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez by Chelsea for €106 million, and stated that his own value would be slightly higher than that.

Okocha is widely regarded as one of the greatest African football players of all time, having played for clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain, Bolton Wanderers, and Eintracht Frankfurt, as well as the Nigerian national team. His incredible ball control, creative flair, and technical ability made him a fan favorite and earned him numerous accolades throughout his career.

“Maybe 1 billion should have been paid for me. They paid €106 million for their defensive midfielder. I would have cost around €150 million. My assists, dribbles would have earned me more than that.

Jay-Jay Okocha was regarded as one of the best dribbles of his generation. However, he was bought by Paris Saint Germian for €14 million which was the African transfer record in 1998.”
