With the recent changes in the market values of the “strong” championships, the world’s most valuable XI has a new look. Compared to September, the total cost of components increased from 1.06 billion euros to 1.1 billion. In June, it was 1.03 billion. All values are expressed in euros.
Deposed Mbappe – Haaland, the most expensive player in the world
For the same reasons, there were changes in the composition. Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala made his first team appearance as he increased his market value by 20 million, becoming one of eight with a stake of at least 100 million.
Other big-name midfielders of equal importance, Barcelona’s Pedri and Real Madrid’s Valverde, are absent from this squad in favor of the younger ones.
Goalkeeper: Courtois (Real Madrid), 60 million
Defenders: Davies, 70 and De Ligt, 70 (both from Bavaria); Diaz (Manchester City), 75; James (“Chelsea”), 70.
Midfielders: Musiyala, 100; Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund), 100; Foden (City), 110
attackers: Mbappe (PSG), 160; Haaland (city), 170; Vinicius Jr. (Real), 120.
Market value is calculated using several valuation models. Another important factor is the Transfermarkt community, whose members discuss and calculate player quotas in detail. In general, market prices are not equivalent to transfer prices.
The leader of the rating by market value has also changed. For the first time in the history of Transfermarkt, the most expensive player in the world is playing in the Premier League: Erling Haaland replaced Kylian Mbappe.
After a lightning start, the top Manchester City increased their quota from 150 to 170 million.
Since 2004, Ronaldinho and Messi (both from Barcelona), Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Neymar (PSG) and Mbappe have been at the top. Haaland has now joined the group.
No outfielder is over 25 years old
Musiala, Bellingham, Pedri and Foden are the best examples of the world’s most valuable players under the age of 25.
At the same age, Manchester City’s Ruben Diaz is the most expensive defender in the world. In this line-up, all outfield players will play under the watchful eye of goalkeeper Courtois, who will reach the age of 30.
In defense, Rhys James, whose quota has increased by 10 million, replaces Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), who is on the same quota, but two years older.
Would this team win the World Cup in Qatar “on their feet”?
Or will they have problems with Messi, Casemiro, Van Dijk, Alaba, Lukaku, Fabinho, Mane and others, all 29-30 years old and above, currently valued at 50-55 million? Maybe with Buffon in goal…
