The most valuable player from every country in the world including Man Utd & Real Madrid stars

There are over 190 countries in the world and we have identified the most valuable player from each of them as stars from Manchester United, Liverpool and Real Madrid feature.

Market value is usually weighed towards younger players and this is certainly represented in this list. The likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar are some of the greatest players of all time, but due to their advancing age, none of them feature on this list.

In the case of Argentina, Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez currently ranks as their most valuable player with a mouthwatering market value of £94million.

For Brazil, Vinicius Junior takes their top spot with a value of £129million and Portugal’s most valuable asset these days is AC Milan’s Rafael Leao at £77.2million.

England and France are two nations in particular that are overflowing with talent. Jude Bellingham takes the top spot as England’s most valuable player, although the likes of Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden and Declan Rice aren’t too far behind.

Of course, Kylian Mbappe takes the top spot for France with a market value of £154million. That makes him the joint most valuable player in the world along with Bellingham and Erling Haaland.

While the German national side has faltered in recent years, they do have a plethora of rising ballers with a healthy market value. Jamal Musiala currently ranks as their most valuable player, although Florian Wirtz isn’t too far behind.

The most valuable players in the world aren’t exclusive to Europe or South America either as stars from Africa, Asia and North America are also among some of the most valuable assets in 2024.

Using figures provided by Transfermarkt, we’ve gone through every country in the world and have identified their most valuable player as of March 2024.
