Mbappé, the incredible collapse

If Jude Bellingham is now the most expensive player in the world, Kylian Mbappé falls impressively in the new CIES Football Observatory rankings.

On Thursday, the CIES Football Observatory (International Center for Sports Studies) published its ranking of the most expensive players in the world. It is Jude Bellingham, the new star of Real Madrid, who comes in first position. The value of the England international has now reached 267.5 million euros on the transfer market.

The former Dortmund player is ahead of Norwegian Erling Haaland (251.2 million euros) and two of his Real Madrid teammates, Vinicius Jr (250.3 million euros) and Rodrygo (247.9 million euros). ). As for Kylian Mbappé, who saw his estimate lose 57 million euros, he fell to 27th in the world. The French striker from Paris Saint-Germain is now “only” worth 106 million euros. His short-term contract with the capital club largely explains this drop in the rankings.

Regarding the rest of the Top 10, these are mainly young talents, such as Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Pablo Gavi (FC Barcelona) Julian Alvarez (Manchester City), Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich) as well as Martin Odegaard, the young captain of Arsenal.
