World's Top 100 Most Valuable Football Players Ranked, Erling Haaland Named The Premier League's MVP

Haaland, 21, will officially join City from Borussia Dortmund on July 1 after the Etihad club triggered the £52m release clause in his contract at Signal Iduna Park.

Haaland is said to be worth more than double the fee that City paid for the striker, with CIES calculating his true value at £130.1m.

But that only puts him third on the list of the top 100 most valuable players in world football, with PSG star Kylian Mbappe topping the rankings.

Mbappe, 23, recently committed his future to Paris Saint-Germain by signing a new three-year deal at the Parc des Princes worth an estimated £650,000 per week.  

The France international is now worth £175.7m in the current transfer market, according to CIES, who based their estimations on a range of factors including a player's age, club, form, contract length and nationality.

Second on the list is Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr, who scored the winning goal for Real Madrid in the Champions League final against Liverpool.

The Brazilian is said to be now worth £158.4m, just four years after joining Madrid in a £38m move from Flamengo.

Barcelona star Pedri is fourth on the list with a valuation of £115.5m, putting him narrowly ahead of the highest-ranked English player, Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, who is said to be worth £114.3m.

Another England international, Manchester City's Phil Foden, is sixth with an estimated worth of £106m.

He is followed by Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong (£96.2m), Liverpool's Luis Diaz (£94m) and City defender Ruben Dias (£93.7m), with Barcelona forward Ferran Torres (£93.6m) rounding off the top 10.

In total, there are five England internationals in the top 20, with Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho, Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount and Arsenal's Bukayo Saka also ranked highly. Check out the top 20 below:
