Trophyless market-value giants: BVB duo right up there | OneFootball

International appearances, European competition outings, top performances. And yet not a single major club title appears on the résumé. The number of professionals who have come away empty-handed so far in their careers is long and full of notable names. Two Dortmund players top the ranking in Germany.

A recent analysis by transfermarkt.de shows the most valuable footballers who, in their careers so far, have yet to achieve a major collective success – such as a national championship, a domestic cup win, or a triumph on the European stage.

With a market value of €55 million, Nico Schlotterbeck is currently the most valuable German professional who has not yet celebrated a major club title in his career. However, the 26-year-old centre-back hopes that will change in the near future. “My goal is to win titles together with Borussia Dortmund,” he said when extending his contract at the beginning of April.

It cannot be ruled out, however, that Schlotterbeck could lift his first major trophy wearing the shirt of another club. Liverpool FC and Real Madrid are reportedly looking into the player intensely.

Premier League duo lead the way

In the ranking of top players without a club title, another BVB professional already follows in second place. Maximilian Beier (23), with a market value of €40 million, has so far also come away empty-handed, just like Frankfurt duo Jonathan Burkardt (25) and Nathaniel Brown (22), Kevin Schade (24) of Brentford FC, and Cologne young star Said El Mala (19). The portal values the quartet at €35 million each.

However, the absolute top spot among titleless Bundesliga players belongs to Leipzig’s Yan Diomande. The 19-year-old Ivorian, with a market value of €75 million, is on the verge of his first full professional season and, given his enormous potential, still has all the time in the world to fill his trophy cabinet.

In the international ranking, Schlotterbeck at least reaches seventh place. At the very end of the top 20, another BVB player appears in Gregor Kobel (28), with a market value of €40 million.

Top spot is shared by Bryan Mbeumo (26) of Manchester United and Morgan Rogers (23) of Aston Villa, both valued at €80 million. The Premier League duo also still lack a major club title in their collection.
