Transfermarkt changes the market values of footballers after the season

Kylian Mbappé has been one of the most valuable commodities on the player market in recent seasons. It was to be the French international who was to take the baton of football’s biggest star from the legendary duo of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

But now he has to fight the Norwegian phantom for the status of the world’s most valuable player. In his first season in the Premier League, Erling Haaland put up literally insane numbers in a Manchester City jersey.

On the field of team achievements, it’s been a dream treble as Pep Guardiola’s team have successively dominated the English FA Cup, the Premier League league title and the millionaire Champions League. In terms of individual stats, 52 goals in 53 games says it all.

This feat made him the top scorer in the English top flight, the top scorer in the Champions League and the best player of the year. The Norwegian cannonballer’s dream season has also translated into the ranking of the world’s most valuable footballers.

Haaland matches Mbappé, Real Madrid’s future is secure

The world-famous Transfermarkt website, which deals with players’ statistics and their estimated market values, changed the ranking as the season ended. And it was Erling Haaland who reached the very top ahead of the aforementioned Mbappé.

The third most valuable footballer of the year is the Brazilian ball wizard Vinícius Jr. who had a great season at Real Madrid. The club from the Spanish capital is the only one with three representatives in the top ten most valuable players in the world.

Indeed, the fourth position in the ranking is occupied by Jude Bellingham, who has become the first huge reinforcement for the White Ballet. Moreover, the top ten is rounded off by another Brazilian, Rodrygo, who, like Vinícius, has left a significant mark at the Santiago Bernabéu this season.

Fifth and sixth positions then belong to other youngsters who have made the football world go crazy this season. This is Bukayo Saku, who fought Arsenal to the final rounds for the league title.

The sixth position then belongs to Victor Osimhen, who led Napoli to the Italian Scudetto. He scored an impressive 26 goals in 32 games in Serie A and became the most valuable footballer in Italy’s top competition. The remaining places were then taken by the trio of Musiala, Foden and Pedri.
