Jude Bellingham tops the list of football's most valuable players

Jude Bellingham. - AFPEngland and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham possesses the highest transfer value in world football, according to a new study.The 20-year-old has had a sensational debut season at the Bernabeu following his €100 million transfer from Borussia Dortmund last summer, scoring 19 goals as the club clinched the La Liga title. He will eye to win first Champions League title on Saturday when Madrid take on Borussia Dortmund at Wembley before setting his sights on a successful Euro 2024 campaign with England. According to the CIES Football Observatory, his achievements this year have seen his transfer valuation soar to an astonishing €280 million (£237 million), more than any other player in the world.The CIES study involved analysing numerous factors to calculate the value of the world’s top 100 players. These factors include age, contract length, level of matches played, and the economic strength of the players' clubs and leagues. The resulting list is dominated by Real Madrid and Manchester City players.Bellingham's former Dortmund teammate Erling Haaland is valued at €255 million, with Madrid’s Brazilian duo Vinicius Junior (€240 million) and Rodrygo (€220 million) next on the list.Phil Foden concluded the Premier League season in sensational form and ranks fifth on the list at €203 million, ahead of his England teammate Bukayo Saka (€195 million).Other Premier League stars in the top ten include Julian Alvarez (€168 million) and Martin Odegaard (€135 million), while Cole Palmer’s breakout season sees his value calculated at €126 million.One notable absentee from the list is Kylian Mbappe, who is not included as his contract with Paris Saint-Germain is set to expire this summer, rendering him almost worthless from a transfer value standpoint.The Frenchman is widely reported to have reached an agreement with Real Madrid that is likely to be confirmed in the coming weeks, after which he would probably challenge Bellingham for the top spot.Below is the list of the top 25 stars1: £216m - Erling Haaland, 2: £204m - Vinícius Júnior3: £187m - Rodrygo Goes4: £172m - Phil Foden5: £165m - Bukayo Saka6: £142m - Julián Álvarez7: £119m - Lamine Yamal8: £114m - Martin Ödegaard9: £113m - Florian Wirtz10: £107m - Gabriel Martinelli11: £107m - Cole Palmer12: £105m - Federico Valverde13: £104m - Rasmus Höjlund14: £102m - Jamal Musiala, 15: £98m - Kai Havertz16: £97m - Joško Gvardiol17: £95m - Alejandro Garnacho18: £95m - Eduardo Camavinga19: £95m - Xavi Simons20: £91m - Warren Zaïre-Emery21: £91m - Dominik Szoboszlai22: £91m - Darwin Núñez23: £91m - Aurélien Tchouaméni24: £89m Bruno Guimarães 25: £89m William Saliba  Comments Submit مضمون کا ماخذ: اسکریچ کارڈز خریدیں
