CIES football Observatory has ranked PSG forward Kylian Mbappe as the most valuable footballer in the world at 205.6m euros
Top 5 Most Valuable Players In The world
After Kylian Mbappe who’s at number one, Real Madrid’s Brazilian winger Vinicius Jr follows at number two. His value is at £158.3m. Norway’s Manchester City-bound striker Erling Haaland is third (£130.4m). Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham (£114.1m) is the most valuable English player on the list in fifth place.
Others on the list include Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden in sixth (£105.9m). Premier League clubs dominate the list with 41 representatives in the top 100. The CIES uses a range of external-link variables including a player’s age, performances, economic value of their club and inflation.

France striker Mbappe signed a new three-year contract with PSG last month because he chose to stay in Paris rather than move to Real Madrid. The World Cup winner scored 28 goals in Ligue 1 to help PSG win the 2021-22 title. Haaland, 21, is joining Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund after City activated his 60m euro (£51.2m) release clause. His new City team-mate Ruben Dias is the most valuable defender in ninth (£93.6m).
