Mbappe has been named as the most valuable
footballer in the world after his rise to the top of
world football.
According to reports, the CIES Football
Observatory crunched the numbers of a
complex calculation that takes into account
performance, age, marketability, and their
current contract length, among other factors, to
come up with the very specific values.
After playing a crucial role in helping France to
win the 2018 World Cup this summer, 19-year-
old Mbappe came ahead of Tottenham star,
Harry Kane in the rankings to top the list.
The Paris Saint-Germain star is now valued at
£189.3million with Kane, who won the World Cup
Golden Boot with England at £172.5m.
Third is Brazilian and PSG forward Neymar
(£172.2m), who became the world’s most
expensive player when he joined PSG for £198m
in 2016.
Liverpool and Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah
is next on the list and is valued at 151.2m.
