Summer break also means transfers.
I have had a look at the most expensive 30 players in Europe and their estimated transfer value.
Kylian Mbappé (€206) is back at the top of the list after resigning with PSG. The French world champion outranks recent Champions League winner Vinícius Júnior (€185M), as well as the new Manchester City striker Erling Haaland (€153M).
Whilst not being included in the top 30. Benfica’s striker Darwin Núñez (€70M) has the highest valuation for non-big-5 league players. The youngest player in the top 100 is 17-year-old Pablo Gavi (€58M) and the oldest one is Kevin de Bruyne (30 years of age with €57)
I have also summarized the numbers with regards to the clubs involved.
The two Spanish top sites are leading the table. FC Barcelona values 458 mio € (with only players in the top 30 included) followed by Real Madrid 440. Four English teams making up positions 3-6, ManCity, Liverpool FC, Manchester FC and Chelsea.
English Premier League clubs dominate the ranking with 41 representatives in the top 100.
