Probably 25-30 million is a "fair" price, bearing in mind he's a year older and has already played more games than Batistuta did his entire career, and is less than a seasons worth behind Eto'o who's 36. A note of caution is that Eto'o was struggling for goals at Everton at 32-33 and was released mid season having been a goal every other game almost his entire career prior.

That's not really a fair comparison.
The market is mental and Ronnie is Pele to Messi's Maradonna. You've listed eusebios and bobby charltons - at a push.
I'd guess he was worth 45mil. And that's assuming he's on the cliff edge of his career. 18 months of greatness and experience at the pinnacle of the game.
