Real Madrid and England midfielder Jude Bellingham currently has the highest transfer value in football at more than £230m, according to research carried out by the International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES).
The list estimates player values by considering performance, age and contracts, which explains why Kylian Mbappe (£91.3m) has plunged to No 27 in the chart — with his deal at Paris Saint-Germain set to expire this summer.
The rankings suggest Bellingham has doubled his value in six months after hitting new heights since his £115m summer move from Borussia Dortmund to Madrid — currently topping the LaLiga scoring charts with 13 goals.
Manchester City goal sensation Erling Haaland is next up with a valuation of £216.1m, ahead of Bellingham's team-mates Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo.
Arsenal's key attacking trio of Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martelli all make the top 11, joined by City's Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez.
Other Premier League stars valued in excess of £100m include Dominik Szoboszlai, Marcus Rashford, Enzo Fernández, Rodri, Darwin Nunez, Bruno Guimaraes, Kai Havertz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cole Palmer, William Saliba, Declan Rice, Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo, Dejan Kulusevski and Jeremy Doku.
