Jude Bellingham is worth more than six Euro 2024 squads, according to a new study, with England having the most expensive squad in this summer's competition.
The 20-year-old midfielder, who joined Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund last summer for an initial £88.5 million, is in contention to win the Ballon d'Or after a superb campaign for club and country.
He notched 23 goals and 12 assists for Carlo Ancelotti's side in all competitions, including three in the Champions League – a competition he lifted for the first time this month.

As a result of his form, Bellingham's market value has rocketed. A report from Safebettingsites estimate the former Birmingham City midfielder as being worth £153 million.
If that valuation is accurate, then the England international is worth more than the total squad value of six different countries – Romania (£78m), Albania (£95m), Slovenia (£123m), Slovakia (£133m), Georgia (£136m) and Hungary (£140m).
As mentioned earlier, England also have the most expensive squad at Euro 2024. In fact, Gareth Southgate's side is worth five times as much as Serbia's ahead of their Group C opener.
Their most expensive player is Bellingham, while their least valuable is Newcastle defender Kieran Trippier, who is worth £8.5 million, according to the report.

Romania, meanwhile, have the least valuable squad at Euro 2024 – worth just £78 million.
