The 10 most valuable current football players

Six of the top 10 most valuable players in world football hail from England or currently play for an English Premier League club, with three stars of the world game tied for the top spot in being valued at $293.54 million (AUD) on the open market.

Per Transfermarkt.com, Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham, Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe are each valued equally near the conclusion of the 2023/24 season period.

At just 20 years of age, Bellingham's value will continue to soar as each season passes, while Haaland (23) and Mbappe (25) are yet to reach the peak of their respective careers.

Bellingham is one of four Englishmen to feature in the top 10 for the most valuable players in the world, with forward Phil Foden and Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice all featuring among the top seven.

Foden and Haaland are joined by Manchester City teammate Rodri in the top 10, while Bayer Leverkusen pairing Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala also make the cut following their successful Bundesliga campaign.

Bellingham and Vinicius Junior both represent Spanish champions Real Madrid on the list and could be joined by Mbappe given his strong ties to the powerhouse club.
