Eleven Premier League players rank among the top 20 – well, technically 26 – most valuable players in the world.

Only one makes the top 10, however, and who that player is should shock literally no one.

Courtesy of Transfermarkt, here are the 20 most valuable players in the world.

The most valuable footballers in the world

=17) Pau Cubarsi, Fermin Lopez (FC Barcelona), Florian Wirtz, Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool), Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich), Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo (Chelsea), William Saliba (Arsenal), Enzo Fernandez (Manchester City), Ousmane Dembele (Paris Saint-Germain) – £85.9m (€100m)

=14) Morgan Rogers (Chelsea) – £94.5m (€110m)

Chelsea paid £117m to sign Rogers from Aston Villa in the summer transfer window.

=14) Elliot Anderson (Manchester City) – £94.5m (€110m)

Rogers cost £1m more than Anderson, but they are the exact same value on Transfermarkt.

=14) Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) – £94.5m (€110m)

Saka’s value has decreased a little, which is fair considering his form over the last year.

=11) Desire Doue (Paris Saint-Germain) – £103.7m (€120m)

Shockingly, back-to-back Champions League winners PSG have quite a few representatives…

=11) Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid) – £103.7m (€120m)

Alvarez was desperate to join Barcelona in the summer but remains at Atletico… for now.

=11) Declan Rice (Arsenal) – £103.7m (€120m)

One of two England and Arsenal players in the top 20, Rice has enjoyed a small market boost thanks to another stellar year.

=7) Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Paris Saint-Germain) – £120m (€140m)

If Georgia appeared at the World Cup, Kvaradona would probably be the favourite for the 2026 Ballon d’Or…

=7) Vitinha (Paris Saint-Germain) – £120m (€140m)

Kvaratskhelia’s PSG team-mate ain’t half bad either. If you have somehow missed each and every one of the 427 million posts regarding this, Vitinha flopped at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Mindblowing!

=7) Joao Neves (Paris Saint-Germain) – £120m (€140m)

PSG are European champions for a reason.

And no, we are not alluding to the lack of competition in Ligue 1 that has allowed Luis Enrique to focus primarily on the Champions League by rarely starting his best and most important players, like Ousmane Dembele, Joao Neves and Marquinhos. Of course not.

=7) Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid) – £120m (€140m)

Vinicius toyed with Arsenal over the summer and would have cost around his Transfermarkt value had he left Madrid, despite being in the final 12 months of his contract.

6) Pedri (FC Barcelona) – £128.9m (€150m)

Pedri has been absolutely sensational for Barcelona and Spain. The level of homegrown talent Barca continue to produce is simply astounding.

5) Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) – £137.5m (€160m)

England and Madrid superstar Bellingham has enjoyed a little boost in valuation.

4) Michael Olise (Bayern Munich) – £146.1m (€170m)

The outstanding talent of Olise has been on display throughout his time at Bayern, who signed him from Crystal Palace. He’s now a France regular and arguably the best right-winger in the world.

3) Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid) – £171.9m (€200m)

That is quite the jump from fourth. Just take a look at these stats.

=1) Erling Haaland (Manchester City) – £189.1m (€220m)

And these stats as well.

=1) Lamine Yamal (FC Barcelona) – £189.1m (€220m)

The generational talent of Lamine Yamal is the most valuable player in world football, tied with Haaland. He’s also (unsurprisingly) the highest-paid teenager in the world. At 19 years young, his ability is absolutely terrifying. But does he need to slow down?
