Paris Saint-Germain and France striker, Kylian Mbappe has been rated as the most valuable player in the world.
According to CIES Football Observatory, the 21-year-old has the highest estimated transfer value of players across Europe’s big five leagues, and is worth an eye-watering £231million in today’s market despite the Coronavirus pandemic.
He is followed closely by Raheem Sterling £173m, Jadon Sancho – £159m, Trent Alexander-Arnold £152m, and Marcus Rashford – £136m.
Lionel Messi and his arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo failed to make the top 20. The Barcelona superstar valued at £89m, took 22nd place, while the Juventus playmaker was rated at £55m to take the 70th spot.
