French internationals have a high market value in general, Kylian Mbappé obviously in the lead. But who are the other French players particularly highly rated on the transfer market?
During the last World Cup, in Qatar, the French football team had the third highest market value in the competition. According to the figures of Transfermarktcompiled by the website Livefootballtickets.com, Didier Deschamps’ men were estimated at nearly 986 million euros. Only the English (1.13 billion euros) and Brazilian (1.03 billion euros) selections were ahead of them.
At that time, Kylian Mbappé was estimated at 144 million euros by the German web portal, renowned for being a reference in terms of transfer amounts for the media as well as club managers. Almost a year later, the Paris-Saint Germain striker is estimated at 180 million. Which makes him the most expensive player on the planet at the moment, tied with the Norwegian Erling Haaland. The two other French people whose market value is the highest, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga, would “only” cost half the price of the native of Bondy.
To determine the market value of footballers, Transfermarkt firstly bases itself on objective criteria. In particular the player’s statistics: his goals, assists, his playing time, as well as his age. But other, more subjective criteria also come into play. For example, the player’s ability to bounce back after less convincing performances, the championship in which he plays, the specific context of the club whose colors he wears, etc. Who are the Blues with the highest market value today?
