Michael Ballack has been left gobsmacked by London housing prices - insisting he can't afford to buy a home despite his £6 million Chelsea salary!
Ballack moved to Stamford Bridge from Bayern Munich on the summer on a lucrative Bosman free transfer.
But The Daily Star says he's told a German newspaper that his huge income still doesn't enable him to get his dream house.
He's believed to have initially set his heart on a six-bedroom home with a pool, either in the capital or near Chelsea's training ground in Cobham, Surrey.
But after being told it would cost him a cool ?4million, he settled for renting instead.
He said: "London is extremely expensive. It's better to rent. My family and I have found a house in Wimbledon."
Ballack also complained about the number of speed cameras on British roads.
But he added: "Luckily I have found out where they all are near me."
