Haaland beat Kylian Mbappe to become the most valuable player in the world. According to Transfermarkt, Manchester City striker Haaland is the most expensive footballer in football today, and Paris Saint-Germain forward Kimappe is second, which means that the former Borussia Dortmund star is the first player to be ranked first in the English top flight after Ronaldo (who played for Manchester United for the first time in 2009).
Haaland arrived at Manchester City this summer and made the transfer decision after Dortmund activated his $64 million release clause. At the start of the season, he was worth around £130 million. But with his astounding performances this season, he has now quickly become the world's most valuable player, worth close to €170 million, while Mbappe is worth just under €160 million.
No one expected this unprecedented situation, with Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga scoring 62 goals in 67 appearances, but before the game against Brantford, where he scored 17 goals in 11 games for Pep Guardiola's side, Haaland was in hot form and expected to set new records one after another.
Daniel Bush, UK head of Transfermarkt: If Haaland stays away from injuries and can at least maintain his form to some extent, he will be worth more in the future! Foreign clubs could reportedly trigger a $289 million termination clause for him in the summer of 2024, a figure and price that seems too low from Manchester City's perspective.
It now appears that the next debate about "who is the greatest footballer today" will be between Haaland and Mbappe in the coming years. If Mbappe performs well at the World Cup at the end of this month and leads France further, his value could skyrocket! But Haaland, on the other hand, is not so lucky, and Norway will not participate in the upcoming 2022 World Cup.
Haaland wants to surpass Mbappe, there is an insurmountable obstacle, that is, the difference in strength between Norway and France is too great, Haaland's future focus must be to cultivate the club and the Champions League, and Mbappe's performance in the national team may become his plus.
