Football fans must have thought they’d woken up in a parallel universe this morning, as reports emerged claiming Eden Hazard is more valuable than Cristiano Ronaldo, amongst numerous other things.

According to valuations, made by the CIES when taking various factors into consideration, Chelsea’s Hazard is the second-most valuable player in the world behind Lionel Messi- whilst they rated Raheem Sterling as more expensive than Paul Pogba.

Other surprises include Merseyside duo Jordan Henderson and Ross Barkley above Arturo Vidal and Marco Reus, whilst Tottenham’s squad is the ninth most valuable in the world- ahead of Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and almost all of next season’s Champions League sides.

Fans laughed off the findings on social media, whilst others have ignored things completely. We’re yet to find one person that agrees with these rankings at all, which says a lot.

Somebody please stop the CIES Football Observatory

The more you look into the CIES rankings, the more hilarious they are — Josh Challies (@Challies11) June 9, 2015

According to the CIES, Alexis Sanchez is just as likely to leave Arsenal as Raheem Sterling leaving Liverpool. Says it all.

Eden Hazard is now more valuable than Ronaldo, Neymar and Aguero with a valuation ranging between €135.4m & €148.9m. (CIES) — 100%Chelsea (@100PctChelsea) June 9, 2015

That CIES list has Henderson and Barkley above Vidal and Reus. Those two things alone make it laughable.

So according to Centre for Sports Studies (CIES), Sterling is worth more then Paul Pogba. Good luck finding a club that agree. — 1 tweet a week Pete (@GodBleedsBlue) June 9, 2015

In what looks set to be one of the sagas of the summer, Raheem Sterling looks set to leave Liverpool this summer - and the fans want him to go.

Sterling’s form has been indifferent this season and his recent comments in the press has angered the Liverpool fans, leading to most of them calling for him to be sold. His recent comments have led to anger amongst the clubs fans, with him being booed off the stage at the clubs awards ceremony earlier this week.

Sterling has attracted several suitors since his comments were released to the press, including Arsenal, Chelsea and both Manchester clubs. At just 20 years of age and with his huge potential, clubs can expect to pay between £35-45million for the versatile attacker.

Interested parties will be very grateful for Sterling’s comments though, as it may have shaved some pounds off his price.

As always on Fresh Football, we did some digging on Twitter and found some of the best tweets showing the Liverpool fans reaction towards the situation with Sterling at the moment

Rogers will get £50m for sterling and spend the lot on players from Aston villa or west brom

Sterling probably going to fake his own death and make a new identity just to do whatever he can to leave Liverpool. Can’t blame him.

When you see us playing like this can you even blame Sterling for wanting to leave? Under current management we are going nowhere but down.

You’ve seen John Henry with Suarez a couple of seasons ago, I can see the same with Sterling. I don’t think he’ll leave this season.

— LFC Fans Corner (@LFCFansCorner) May 21, 2015

Gerrard urged Torres, Suarez and now Sterling not to go. Who’s going to urge the future generation of stars not to leave? #Gloomy.
