In the last list released by the research organization, Manchester City star, Phil Foden was named the most valuable football player in the world. This has, however, changed as the 21-year-old Manchester City academy graduate has been overtaken by Real Madrid prodigy, Vinicius Junior. Vicinius Junior has also overtaken Borussia Dortmund star, Erling Haaland, who is the subject of a rumoured transfer to Real Madrid next summer. The Brazilian attacker has been in impressive form this season and this has contributed to the rise in his market value.

  Phil Foden occupies the second position on the list and he is valued at €152.6m. The Manchester City academy graduate has scored seven goals and provided six assists in all competitions this season. 


  Borussia Dortmund's goal-poacher, Erling Haaland is the third most valuable footballer in the world. The Norwegian star has been phenomenal since joining the German Bundesliga side from RB Salzburg and his impressive performances have seen his market value skyrocket since then. He is now valued at €142.5m.

Manchester United star, Mason Greenwood occupies the fourth position. The youngster has found game time difficult to come by this season due to the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo but this hasn't affected his market value significantly. The Manchester United academy graduate, who is valued at €133.9m, has scored five goals and provided two assists in all competitions for the Red Devils this season.
