In the most recent list of the 100 most valuable players, some of the most talented players in the history of football around the world have been revealed.
The market values of the sport’s best players have been published by the statistics hub, which comes as the 2024/25 season is about to enter its final stretch.
A multitude of high-quality players are included in the top ten, and three of the clubs that reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season share the most Most Valuable Player awards.
According to Transfermarkt, talkSPORT.com has carried out an analysis of the data and provided a comprehensive breakdown of the outcomes of the most valuable players and teams.
The ten most valuable players in the world
Erling Haaland, a striker for Manchester City, is currently ranked first in the rankings. His immense value is estimated to be €200 million, which is equivalent to [167 million pounds].
According to his world-class standards, the Norwegian has had a season that has been less than impressive, scoring 30 goals for City, but he has still done enough to finish in first place.
Although Vinicius Jr. has the same valuation, Haaland has found himself in first place due to the fact that he is nine days younger than Vinicius Jr.
During the course of the season, the Brazilian winger for Real Madrid has contributed 29 goals across all competitions, which has allowed him to finish in a close second place.
Lamine Yamal comes in second with a transfer fee of €180 million (£151 million), having brought his outstanding performance with Spain at the Euro 2024 tournament to life at Barcelona.
The most recent breakthrough academy product from La Masia has scored 13 goals and assisted on 18 others so far this season, which is an incredible return for the 17-year-old player.
Jude Bellingham, who is 21 years old and continues to produce outstanding performances for Madrid, has joined the team with the same valuation.
The England international continues to be one of the most promising young players in Europe and the world, having scored 12 goals and assisting on 11 others from the offensive midfield position.
Kylian Mbappe, a member of the same team, is currently ranked fifth with a value of €170 million (£142 million), experiencing an increase of €10 million (£8.4 million).
During his first season with the team, the Frenchman has scored 32 goals, and he has the potential to finally end his wait for a Champions League title during the month of May.
The sixth-ranked player is Bukayo Saka, who is valued at €150 million (or £125 million), despite the fact that he has missed a significant amount of action for Arsenal due to injury.
After suffering a hamstring injury in December, Saka has not participated in any games since then. However, he may make a comeback soon and add to his total of 23 goals scored.
In light of the fact that he has been making steady progress with Bayer Leverkusen, Florian Wirtz is the first of two Bundesliga talents to make it into the top ten.
Since August, the 21-year-old player, who is valued at €140 million (£117 million), has made 39 appearances, during which time he has scored 15 goals and assisted on those of another 13.
Jamal Musiala, who plays for Bayern Munich, is tied with another German player, but he is only 22 years old and currently holds the eighth spot in the standings.
The former Chelsea academy player is currently one of the most popular players in Europe, with a total of 17 goals and six assists across the course of the current season.
Despite having a mixed second season with Chelsea, Cole Palmer receives a valuation of €130 million, which is equivalent to 109 million euros dollars.
Despite the fact that he has not scored for the Blues since January, he has still managed to score 14 goals and provide six assists for the team so far this season.
By a margin of ten million euros, the 22-year-old player has surpassed his former Manchester City teammate Phil Foden, who has dropped to a total of 130 million euros.
In spite of the unexpectedly poor run of form that Foden and City experienced earlier in the season, Foden has contributed 16 goals in 39 matches in which he has played.
