The CIES Football Observatory has prepared a list of 100 players with the highest estimated transfer prices in football; English and Brazilian players dominate ranks, with Manchester City being the best-represented team.
Real Madrid and England midfielder Jude Bellingham currently has the highest transfer value in football at more than £230m, according to research carried out by the International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES).
The list evaluates player valuations by factoring performance, age, and contracts, which explains why Kylian Mbappe (£91.3 million) has fallen to No. 27 in the table, with his contract at Paris Saint-Germain scheduled to expire this summer.
According to the rankings, Bellingham’s worth has doubled in six months, having reached new heights since his £115 million summer transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Madrid, where he presently leads the LaLiga scoring records with 13 goals.
Manchester City goal sensation Erling Haaland is next up with a valuation of £216.1m, ahead of Bellingham’s team-mates Vinicius Junior and
Arsenal‘s key attacking trio of Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martelli all make the top 11, joined by City’s Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez.
Other Premier League stars valued in excess of £100m include Dominik Szoboszlai, Marcus Rashford, Enzo Fernández, Rodri, Darwin Nunez, Bruno Guimaraes, Kai Havertz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cole Palmer, William Saliba, Declan Rice, Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo, Dejan Kulusevski and Jeremy Doku.
Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund are the top-ranked players representing Manchester United – despite the pair scoring only four league goals between them this season – followed by Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Antony.
