Jude Bellingham has become the most valuable player in the world market. That is the result announced by the Center for International Football Studies (CIES), valuing the English player at 267.5 million euros. Last summer, Real Madrid signed a contract from Borussia Dortmund for 103 million euros. As a result, his brilliant performances with Real Madrid have significantly increased his market value.
Behind Bellingham is Haaland with a value of 251.2 million euros and closely following the striker who plays for Man City are two other Real Madrid players: Vinicius with 250.3 million euros and Rodrygo with 247.9 million.
The first Spanish player to make this list is Barca player Gavi with a market value of 175.4 million euros, ahead of teammate Pedri with 125.2 million and Rodri with 121.8 million.
The person who is not even on the list of players with the highest market value is Mbappe. The French striker occupies 27th place in this ranking with a value of 106.2 million euros. Because his contract with PSG is about to end, his value has decreased significantly.
CIES also detailed that, compared to estimates published last June, the number of players with a transfer value greater than 100 million euros has almost doubled (from 20 to 39), reflecting the Strong inflation in player prices occurs during the summer of 2023. The value of the 100th highest estimated player is now at 71.3 million euros, up from 53.4 million euros in June 2023.
