Raheem Sterling has been linked with a bg-money move to Manchester City
Former Manchester United and England defender Rio ferdinand has outrightly branded the transfer valuations of he's England compatriots Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur being targeted by clubs including he's former club United and Raheem Sterling also being targeted by clubs including Manchester city, Real Madrid as a joke.
Sterling's current club Liverpool are thought to be holding out for £50m for the want-away winger having rejected a £40m bid from Manchester City but City are willing to offer £45m, while Tottenham are hopeful of warding off Manchester United's interest in striker Kane with a £40m price tag.
Ferdinand has slammed the valuations, and drawn comparisons with the prices paid for Manchester City's Sergio Aguero and Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez.
The 36-year-old, who called time on his professional career after failing to help QPR avoid relegation to the Championship last season and also recently lost he's wife to a long standing battle with cancer, said via social media: "English players are soooo [sic] overpriced right now it's a joke!
"Kane & sterling have huge potential but 40m & 50m...aguero 38m & sanchez 32m!!!" [sic]
Ferdinand became the world's most expensive defender when he joined Manchester United from Leeds for £29.1m in 2002 -€“ but he was quick to highlight the difference in relative experience.
He added: "Look at the amount of PL & CL games I had played in before the @ManUtd move...oh and a world cup! Don't compare me please! There are others."
