JUDE BELLINGHAM has been revealed as the most valuable footballer in the world.
The England star signed for Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund in the summer for a £115million fee.
He has scored an incredible 17 goals in 22 games since moving to Spain and his good form has seen his value skyrocket.
According to the CIES Football Observatory model, which predicts transfer fees by analysing 6,000 previous deal, Bellingham is worth £231m in the current market.
He pips Manchester City goal machine Erling Haaland to top spot by £14m.
Bellingham’s team-mates Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo are third and fourth with them worth £216m and £214m respectively.
Arsenal starboy Bukayo Saka completes the top five, having been priced at a whopping £193m.
Man City duo Phil Foden is in sixth place and Julian Alvarez comes in eighth.
Barcelona teenage sensation Gavi is valued at £151m and Bayern Munich wonderkid Jamal Musiala will supposedly command a £132m fee.
The top ten is ended by Gunners captain Martin Odegaard, who has been valued at £130m.
He narrowly makes the cut ahead of team-mate Gabriel Martinelli as he is worth just £2m less.
PSG star Kylian Mbappe has fallen down the list due to his contract expiring at the end of this season.
The Frenchman is currently worth just £92million, claim CIES.
Compared to the estimates published last year, the amount of players worth over £86.3m has nearly doubled from 20 to 39 from the top 100 footballers. — The Sun.
