PSG have 2 of the 10 most expensive players in the world! | OneFootball

This week, the CIES Football Observatory unveiled its latest study on the value of players worldwide. In the top 100, there are 9 players from Paris Saint-Germain: Ilya Zabarnyi (€69.7 million), Willian Pacho (€70.6 million), Vitinha (€84.8 million), Nuno Mendes (€86.5 million), Warren Zaïre-Emery (€86.9 million), Bradley Barcola (€90.2 million), Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (€91 million), João Neves (€130.6 million), and Désiré Doué (€134.6 million). The last two are even in the top 10.

The top 21:

Such a study should be taken with a grain of salt, even if it provides an idea of the players in form or the estimated potential for each. But for example, Florian Wirtz is in 6th place despite significant difficulties at the start of his season in Liverpool. What exactly are the criteria? Possible future, contract duration, and, of course, performances.

However, one might be surprised to see that Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembélé have dropped out of the top 100 since the last estimate in June. Especially the former, who is still in great form. On the Parisian side, Lucas Beraldo has also dropped out. This is less surprising.

Nonetheless, it can be noted that PSG is, quite logically, well represented. It's a top-level squad, with some players who have made significant progress in recent months. Doué, Neves, Barcola, Pacho, Nuno Mendes, or Kvaratskhelia are thus valued at a higher price than their purchase. An interesting sign for the work during recruitment and daily efforts.

Even though there are many debatable elements, of course.
