Marcus Rashford, Erling Haaland, Trent Alexander, Bruno Fernandes & Kylian Mbappe are most valuable players in Europe. The CIES Football Observatory has delivered its twice yearly rundown of the most significant parts in Europe’s main five associations – Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1.
The exchange esteems are equitably controlled by a calculation that considers various components, including age and length of agreement. Assaulting players are normally worth more, while more youthful players hold more long haul an incentive than more established players on account of market swelling in future.
A player’s present capacity alone won’t really agree with their target move esteem. Lionel Messi, for instance, just barely breaks into the best 100 since he is 33 and is only a half year from conceivably turning into a free specialist, while Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t make the main 100 since he is almost 36 and is approaching the finish of his vocation. That is regardless of both actually being a-list.
20. Frenkie de Jong – €105.7m
Club: Barcelona
Age: 23
Position: Centre midfielder
Contract: 2026
Barcelona landed Frenkie de Jong from Ajax in 2019 and have already seen his value soar from the €75m they invested in his services.
19. Harry Kane – €107m
Club: Tottenham
Age: 27
Position: Striker
Contract: 2024
Harry Kane is now at his peak ability, although a history of injuries in the past few seasons has perhaps hurt his overall value.
18. Ansu Fati – €108.4m
Club: Barcelona
Age: 18
Position: Winger
Contract: 2022
Ansu Fati’s contract may only run until 2022 but Barcelona hold an option to extend by two further years, effectively making it a long-term deal.
17. Mason Mount – €109.3m
Club: Chelsea
Age: 21
Position: Attacking midfield
Contract: 2024
Mason Mount’s long-term potential and long-term contract has pushed his transfer value over the €100m following a fine breakout season in 2019/20.
16. Achraf Hakimi – €113.7m
Club: Inter
Age: 22
Position: Full-back
Contract: 2025
Inter paid an estimated €40m to buy Achraf Hakimi from Real Madrid in 2020, which is only a fraction of his estimated transfer value now.
15. Bukayo Saka – €116.2m
Club: Arsenal
Age: 19
Position: Winger
Contract: 2024
If Arsenal are to rediscover and bring back the glory days, building the new-look around Bukayo Saka will go a long way to achieving it.
14. Sadio Mane – €123.8m
Club: Liverpool
Age: 28
Position: Winger
Contract: 2023
Sadio Mane has consistently improved over the last eight years, from his first big break at Red Bull Salzburg to now at Liverpool. But his peak will end.
13. Ruben Dias – €126.8m
Club: Manchester City
Age: 23
Position: Centre-back
Contract: 2026
Manchester City made Ruben Dias their most expensive defender ever in 2020 when they signed him from Benfica and he is already a mainstay.
12. Mohamed Salah – €134m
Club: Liverpool
Age: 28
Position: Winger
Contract: 2023
Edging towards the age of 30 and a contract that expires in just a over two years are the things stopping Mohamed Salah’s value being higher.
11. Timo Werner – €135.1m
Club: Chelsea
Age: 24
Position: Striker
Contract: 2025
Timo Werner is yet to hit the heights expected of him at Chelsea, although it is safe to say the Blues bought him well below market value.
10. Kai Havertz – €136m
Club: Chelsea
Age: 21
Position: Attacking midfield
Contract: 2025
Kai Havertz is another struggling to find his feet since moving to Chelsea, but at 21 he still has plenty of time to realise that potential.
9. Raheem Sterling – €136.9m
Club: Manchester City
Age: 26
Position: Winger
Contract: 2023
Raheem Sterling has enjoyed a phenomenal few years at Manchester City under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, but his future is reaching a crossroad.
8. Alphonso Davies – €139.2m
Club: Bayern Munich
Age: 20
Position: Full-back
Contract: 2025
Alphonso Davies burst onto the scene at Bayern Munich in 2019/20. Despite previously being a winger, he made the left-back berth his own.
7. Joao Felix – €141.5m
Club: Atletico Madrid
Age: 21
Position: Striker
Contract: 2026
Atletico Madrid refused to shed any tears over Antoine Griezmann in 2019 because they landed Joao Felix, who is now starting to realise his potential.
6. Jadon Sancho – €148.3m
Club: Borussia Dortmund
Age: 20
Position: Winger
Contract: 2023
Jadon Sancho is a prime example of a player whose objective transfer value may not always match up with his real life valuation because Borussia Dortmund were willing to sell for €120m in 2020.
5. Kylian Mbappe – €149.4m
Club: Paris Saint-Germain
Age: 22
Position: Winger
Contract: 2022
Kylian Mbappe’s transfer value has been hurt by the fact that he has only 18 months left on his contract. Otherwise, the number would be much higher.
4. Bruno Fernandes – €151.1m
Club: Manchester United
Age: 26
Position: Attacking midfield
Contract: 2025
It seems that Manchester United bought Bruno Fernandes at the right time, just as he hits his peak years, but with long-term upside to preserve value.

3. Trent Alexander-Arnold – €151.6m
Club: Liverpool
Age: 22
Position: Full-back
Contract: 2024
Trent Alexander-Arnold was vital to Liverpool’s Premier League title win in 2019/20 and could be at the top of the game for another 10 years.
2. Erling Haaland – €152m
Club: Borussia Dortmund
Age: 20
Position: Striker
Contract: 2024
Erling Haaland has scored 61 goals and counting at club level since the start of last season, although a release clause expected to become active in 2022 could limit what he is actually transferred for.
1. Marcus Rashford – €165.6m
Club: Manchester United
Age: 23
Position: Winger
Contract: 2023
Marcus Rashford has improved year on year as a Manchester United player and still has plenty of room to get better still over the long-term.
