Mbappe is 3rd, Saka is 5th!2024 World Football Player Value Ranking!
This month, Transfermarkt released the latest market values of Europe's top five leagues and saw some exciting results. The Premier League remains the most valuable league in the world, followed by La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1. The value of more than 500 players has been updated, and there have been some changes to the top 20 most valuable players in the world.
The three most expensive players remain unchanged, with Jude Bellingham, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe still tied for first place with 180 million euros. Phil Foden's €20 million increase is the biggest among the top 20 players, and he is tied with fellow England Bukayo Saka at €130 million. Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz has been rewarded with €10 million for his excellent form, alongside fellow German Jamal Musiala.
1. Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid; €180 million)
Bellingham's stunning start to the season in Spain earned him a €30 million gain, making him the joint-most valuable player in the world alongside Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe (players of equal value are ranked by age).
2. Erling Haaland (Manchester City; €180 million)
Haaland's value remains unchanged, with the Manchester City striker scoring 29 goals in 34 games this season. The Norway international scored 50 goals in his first season in England as Manchester City won the treble. Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are on track for another success, while Haaland's goal will be crucial to their prospects.
3. Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain; €180 million)
Mbappe's future has been the biggest transfer news in football for the past few years, but there will be a result this summer. The 25-year-old French star will leave PSG when his contract expires at the end of the season and it would be a huge surprise if he doesn't end up joining Real Madrid. Kylian Mbappe has scored 38 goals in 37 appearances for PSG this season and could end his time in Paris with a highlight-reel performance as the Ligue 1 champions have a good chance of reaching the Champions League final.
4. Vinicius Júnior (Real Madrid; €150 million)
Vinicius Júnior's value remains at 150 million euros. Vinicius Júnior has been impressive for Real Madrid this season, contributing 26 goals in 28 appearances. Since his move to Real Madrid in 2018, the winger's value has increased by 115 million euros.
5. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal; €130 million)
Bukayo Saka, who received a €10 million increase for his performances at Arsenal, remains the second most valuable English player tied with Phil Foden. As an Arsenal Academy graduate, Bukayo Saka is the jewel in Arsenal's crown. Bukayo Saka has scored 29 goals in 37 games this season to lead Arsenal to the title.
6. Phil Foden (Manchester City; €130 million)
Phil Foden has shaken off the instability of his early career and is one of the best players in England.
7. Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen; €110 million)
Florian Wirtz has risen by €10 million in this update and is currently among the top 10 most valuable players in the world with €110 million. The 20-year-old is in fine form and is currently tied with Jamal Musiala and Harry Kane as the Bundesliga's Most Valuable Player. Florian Wirtz has contributed 28 goals for Bayer Leverkusen this season and is destined to win their first Bundesliga title.
8. Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich; €110 million)
Musiala, along with Kane, has had a disappointing season for Bayern Munich. The former Chelsea star has incredible ability and has contributed 19 goals to his name.
9. Declan Rice (Arsenal; €110 million)
Declan Rice has been a bright spot since his move to Arsenal, adding consistency to the team's midfield. The former West Ham United captain has been one of the best players in the Premier League this season and he also wore the captain's armband in England's recent draw with Belgium.
10. Victor Osimhen (Napoli; €110 million)
Victor Osimhen has failed to reach his peak last season, scoring 31 goals when Napoli won the title last season, but he has only scored 13 so far. Victor Osimhen's value remains the same, his suitors are spread across Europe and he is expected to leave Napoli this summer.
