After the major market value update from Transfermarkt, it is clear who currently belongs to the most valuable starting eleven in world football. A player from FC Bayern has made it into this exclusive selection.

With a total value of 1.45 billion euros, the new most valuable eleven in the world consists exclusively of absolute top stars of international football. In the central offensive line: Jamal Musiala. The 22-year-old is listed with a market value of 140 million euros, making him not only the most expensive player in the Bundesliga but also part of the global elite.

The Bayern professional stands in the eleven alongside Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, and Jude Bellingham, all valued at 180 million euros. Only Lamine Yamal is valued higher with a peak value of 200 million euros.

Musiala is the only player from the Bundesliga in this selection – evidence of his international standing and the special role he plays within the German league. Remarkably, despite his ongoing injury sustained at the Club World Cup, he remains part of the most valuable eleven in the world.

Also in the Bundesliga internal market value eleven, Musiala is the central figure. Eight of the eleven top players in this lineup come from FC Bayern. Borussia Dortmund provides the remaining three, with no other club represented. This once again underlines the record champion's dominance – both athletically and financially.

Olise Surpasses Bundesliga Competition

Particularly striking is the rise of Michael Olise. The Frenchman has increased his market value by a whopping 30 million to now 130 million euros. This places him just behind Musiala – and ahead of the entire Union Berlin squad. Dayot Upamecano also managed to increase by ten million, reaching the highest value of his career so far (60 million euros).

Overall, the FC Bayern squad is currently valued at around 906.6 million euros. Borussia Dortmund follows at a significant distance with a total value of 438.1 million euros. Even in terms of salary costs, Bayern is clearly ahead with 245.8 million euros compared to BVB's 123.8 million euros.

While Musiala and Olise were able to significantly increase their market values, there are also losers in the Bayern squad. Minjae Kim was downgraded after losing his starting spot due to the signing of Jonathan Tah. Hiroki Ito, who is absent due to injury, also lost value.
