The end of 2022 and the Transfermarkt web portal has published the list of the 10 best valued players to date.
Youth is a detail to highlight in the ranking, since the oldest footballer is no more than 24 years old. Such data completely rules out that Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo are on the list.
The 3rd place is for the Brazilian Vinícius Jr. At 22 years old and after scoring the goal that gave Real Madrid the 14th Champions League, it increased its value to $128 million dollars.
Next is the Norwegian Erling Haaland, who is the top scorer in the Premier League. However, not having gone to the World Cup prevented him from increasing his value, and at the age of 22 he remains valued at $182 million dollars.
The top 3 is led by Kylian Mbappé, who leads the table. Before the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the Frenchman was in second position, but after reaching the runner-up and winning the Golden Boot after beating Messi in goals, he increased his value in December, which currently stands at $193 million dollars.
Real Madrid and Barcelona with a promising present and future
Both Vinícius Junior and Fede Valverde, 22 and 24 years old respectively, arrived very young and between them they already total some $240 million dollars.
On the side of FC Barcelona the same thing happens. The Golden Boys of the last 2 years, Pedri and Gavi respectively, have increased in value and now between the two they add up to $200 million dollars.
