Jude Bellingham has become the most valuable player in the world market. That is the result announced by the Center for International Football Studies (CIES), valuing the English player at 267.5 million euros. Last summer, Real Madrid signed a contract from Borussia Dortmund for 103 million euros. As a result, his brilliant performances with Real Madrid have significantly increased his market value.

Behind Bellingham is Haaland with a value of 251.2 million euros and closely following the striker who plays for Man City are two other Real Madrid players: Vinicius with 250.3 million euros and Rodrygo with 247.9 million.

The first Spanish player to make this list is Barca player Gavi with a market value of 175.4 million euros, ahead of teammate Pedri with 125.2 million and Rodri with 121.8 million.

The person who is not even on the list of players with the highest market value is Mbappe. The French striker occupies 27th place in this ranking with a value of 106.2 million euros. Because his contract with PSG is about to end, his value has decreased significantly.

According to CIES, for the rest of the five major European leagues, Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich) tops the German Bundesliga rankings, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Napoli) of Serie A and Mbappe (PSG) of Ligue 1. In addition Big-5 group, Antonio Silva (SL Benfica) ranked above Goncalo Inacio (Sporting CP) and Endrick Felipe (SE Palmeiras, loan from Real Madrid).

The value of the 100th highest estimated player is now at 71.3 million euros, up from 53.4 million euros in June 2023.
