The decline of many world stars has reshaped the transfer market. Headliners are becoming rare.
Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Karim Benzema, Sadio Mané, Riyad Mahrez, Eden Hazard… So many names that have disappeared from the continental landscape for over a year. As if to confirm that world football is in full mutation. Nature abhors a vacuum, and new headliners emerge naturally, but nothing says that the next decade will be as exciting as the last.

Who is the most expensive player in the world?
In this context, a question would allow us to have a snapshot of the current football panorama: which footballer has the highest market value in the world? According to the specialized site Transfermarkt, there are four who share first place. And three of them now belong to Real Madrid, confirming the idea that the White House does not operate in the same world as its competitors.
Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr are all three valued by Transfermarkt at €180 million. A theoretical value that the site also gives to Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker. The Norwegian’s teammate Phil Foden is installed in 5th place with an estimated value of €150 million. Then come Bukayo Saka (€140 million), Florian Wirtz (€140 million), Jamal Musiala (€140 million), Rodri (€140 million), Lamine Yamal (€120 million), Federico Valverde (€120 million) and Declan Rice (€120 million).
