The sums that are used to quantify the value of players nowadays are absurd. In every transfer window, billions are now being exchanged between clubs around the world.
This is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. The football portal 'CIES Football' has calculated, based on several factors, how much the most valuable stars in the world are currently worth when considering age, contract duration, etc.

According to the football portal, Lamine Yamal tops the list with a market value of a whopping 343 million euros, followed by the usual suspects like Haaland, Mbappé, and Bellingham. In fifth place is Michael Olise, the highest Bundesliga star.
While Florian Wirtz is considered the most valuable German player according to 'CIES Football', Nick Woltemade, after a strong first half of the season, is also high up in the rankings.
Now it's your turn: Were you surprised by the calculated market values? And do you think anyone will ever pay that much for these players? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments!
