Football Benchmark, a renowned football and business portal, recently released its monthly compilation of the most valuable players in the sport. In a significant shift, Erling Haaland has claimed the top spot, surpassing Kylian Mbappe, who has traditionally dominated these rankings.
Haaland is now valued at an impressive 194 million euros. Real Madrid showcases their strength in the list, with Vinicius securing the third position at 157 million euros, closely followed by Jude Bellingham in fourth place, valued at 152 million euros.
Despite reaching the World Cup final, Kylian Mbappe has been overtaken by the remarkable momentum of Erling Haaland, who currently holds the top position. Haaland’s achievements as the top scorer in Europe’s major leagues, the Champions League, and his treble-winning success under the guidance of Pep Guardiola have propelled his value to new heights.
Notably, Mbappe, at the age of 24, is already the oldest player in the top ten list of most valuable players. Haaland, aged 22, Vinicius, aged 23, and Real Madrid’s recent signing from Dortmund, aged just 20, demonstrate the youthful talent dominating the rankings.
At a mere 18 years old, Gavi secures an impressive sixth place with a valuation of 140 million euros. Another rising star from Barcelona, Pedri, takes the ninth spot with a value of 129 million euros.
