$8 million for Canberran
No it's not for Canberra Raiders Golden Boy Todd Carney or even Brumbies Wallaby Stirling Mortlock.
Former Tuggeranong junior and Socceroo ace Carl Valeri, that's his expected transfer fee if he moves from Serie B club Grosetto in the next few weeks.
Which gives an insight into the value a Canberra A-League club/players could provide to their owners in years to come. Where would you invest?
And I should mention Bare from Gamba Osaka, you know the guy who played against Melbourne in the Asian Champions League this year. He's just signed for UAE side Al Ahli for $10 million. A lot of money starting to float around football in this part of the world.

what a waste of money for a over rated player. He should join the Sicilian Mafia!!! He plays like he is paying to put on a shirt.
you are a tad harsh methinks..although is any sports player worth $8 mill..but that's another story...
Would be nice to see some of that money filter down to the junior clubs that got these guys into the sport. Just 1% of that fee would be huge for a club like Tugggeranong United.
how is he over rated? he must be good if he's playing serie B and for the Australian team. i agree with the 1% of money going to the clubs, they provide a lot of support for the young players coming through the ranks.
