Market value update after the World Cup: two ex-Dortmund men lead | OneFootball

Quite a few Borussia Dortmund fans are likely to let out a loud sigh: “If only these players were still wearing the black-and-yellow shirt?!” The World Cup offered former BVB stars Erling Haaland (26) and Jude Bellingham (23) the ideal stage to drive their already lofty market values even higher.

The latest market value update from transfermarkt.de (as of July 22) credits Haaland with another increase of 20 million euros. With a total value now at 220 million euros, the Norwegian striker remains number one on the global football market.

The 1.95-meter giant from Manchester City thrills the masses not only with his original social media posts, but also impressed at the World Cup with his performances. Thanks in no small part to his seven goals, the Scandinavians reached the quarterfinals. That took Haaland’s tally to an unbelievable 62 goals in 55 international appearances.

Top stars with top values

Level at the top with Haaland is Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal (19), who also improved from 200 million to 220 million euros. Third place on the global podium remains with Kylian Mbappé. The 27-year-old Real Madrid superstar also made a jump upward and crossed the 200-million-euro mark. Previously, his market value stood at 180 million euros. Fourth place goes to Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise (24), who is now valued at 170 million euros (previously: 150 million).

Bellingham also made a big leap in market value: his price tag as fifth in the rankings has now reached 160 million euros. For comparison: before the World Cup, the 23-year-old Englishman was still valued at 130 million euros. When the attacking player left Borussia Dortmund for Real Madrid in the summer of 2023, his value was still 120 million euros.

But it was not only the former players who recorded an upward trend. Felix Nmecha also raised his market value further despite the disappointing showing by the German national team. The 25-year-old midfielder is now valued at 55 million euros — an increase of five million euros compared with the period before the World Cup.
