According to analysis by the International Centre for Sports Studies, Jude Bellingham, a midfielder for Borussia Dortmund, presently possesses football's highest transfer value at more over £183 million (CIES). The top two players on the CIES Football Observatory's list of 100 players are the 19-year-old midfielder and his colleague Phil Foden, who plays for England.

Bellingham and Foden are ranked above Kylian Mbappe, who is in third position and whose contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in the summer of 2024. This is because the ranking analyzes player valuations by taking into account performance, age, and contracts. Bellingham, who shone for England at the World Cup in Qatar, is under contract with Dortmund until the summer of 2025, but it's anticipated that a number of top-tier European clubs may be interested in signing the former Birmingham City player this summer. Bellingham (£183.9m) and Foden (£177.1m), whose contracts with Manchester City expire in 2027, surpass Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. of Real Madrid, who is placed fourth and costs roughly £168m.

Bellingham and Foden are ranked the two top position

Erling Haaland, a teammate of Foden's at Manchester City and whose contract similarly expires in 2027, is fifth with a value of £154.5 million after scoring 27 goals in 21 appearances since joining the team in the summer. The youthful midfielders Pedri and Gavi of Barcelona are sixth and seventh, respectively, and Jamal Musiala of Bayern Munich, a German and former England youth international, is eighth.

The best ranked defender on the list is Josko Gvardiol of RB Leipzig, who has been linked with numerous elite teams after shining for Croatia at the World Cup. Federico Valverde of Real Madrid completes the top 10 as a midfielder.

Because to the inclusion of Rodri (11th), Ruben Dias (18th), and Joao Cancelo in the top 20, Manchester City and Real Madrid have the most players in the top 20. (19th). 13 players from the defending Premier League winners are among the top 100, which is four more than Bayern Munich and Barcelona, who are tied for second place with 13 players each. The first of eight Liverpool players to appear on the list is winger Luis Diaz, who is placed 12th and has a valuation of £96.9 million. The Premier League has 44 players on the list, which is 26 more than Spain's La Liga, which comes next in terms of representation in Europe.

Ruben Dias sits the 18th on the list

With 14 players each, England and Brazil are tied for the most players on the list. The next English player on the list after Bellingham and Foden is Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, who is ranked 14th and has a value of £96 million. The next player from England is Reece James of Chelsea, who is ranked 21st with £87.7 million, and his clubmate Raheem Sterling is placed 26th with £82.1 million. Trent Alexander-Arnold then takes the top spot among a group of five England players valued between £70.3 million and £64.8 million who are ranked between 39th and 45th and include Jadon Sancho, Mason Mount, John Stones, and Declan Rice.

Harry Kane, the captain of England, is also included on the list and ranks 71st at £56.1 million. The 29-year-contract old's with Tottenham is slated to end in the summer of 2024. The other English players on the list are Roma forward Tammy Abraham (95th), Jack Grealish of Manchester City (91st), and Aaron Ramsdale of Arsenal (77th).

The list offers an intriguing point of reference for current, significant signings as well as rumored impending January transfer window deals. Enzo Fernandez, who Chelsea is interested in signing, is placed 35th with a value of £70.9 million, which is a lot less than the £105 million release clause Benfica is requesting.

The 22-year-old midfielder was instrumental in helping Argentina win the World Cup in Qatar, and Chelsea, who have struggled under Graham Potter, appear anxious for reinforcements. Mykhailo Mudryk, a winger for Shakhtar Donetsk, isn't on the list despite Arsenal and Chelsea showing a lot of interest in the 21-year-old Ukrainian. Mudryk is reportedly valued at £85 million by Shakhtar, which would place him 25th on the CIES list. The Ukrainian team thinks he is superior to Antony, who cost Manchester United £86 million from Ajax in the summer and is being used as a negotiating chip.

Mykhailo Mudryk is ranked 25

Antony, whose valuation is £57.8 million and who has three goals in 14 appearances since joining United, is ranked 64th. With a value of £56.2 million, Cody Gakpo, who Liverpool just acquired from PSV for a sum between £35 and £45 million, is ranked 69th on the list. The appraisals offer conflicting opinions on Manchester City's recent transfer activity, with Ferran Torres' value appearing to have increased substantially since he left for Barcelona a year ago. In January 2022, Torres left City for a transfer that might have cost less than £55 million, but the 22-year-old is now valued at £94.3 million, placing him 17th on the CIES list. However, City can view the value of center-back Manuel Akanji, who is valued at £50.4 million and comes in at number 78 on the list just months after joining the club from Borussia Dortmund for £15 million, much more favorably.
