Who is the Devil with the greatest market value? An upheaval announced in the ranking!

This Wednesday, the CIES du football delivered its new letter. This week, it presents a list of the 100 players with the highest transfer market values. This list is established using the CIES Football Observatory algorithm.

And the changes are notable on the Belgian side. Indeed, leader in June, Kevin De Bruyne leaves his throne to Romelu Lukaku (79.3M €). Worse, the Citizens player has lost more than 30 million of his value according to the CIES algorithm (from 88M € to 54M €).

Very good surprise: the rise of Alexis Saelemaekers. Absent from the previous ranking, it made a sensational entry by being valued more expensive than KDB (55.2M €)! Youri Tielemans brings up the rear for the Belgians (€ 50.2M).

Note the disappearance in this classification of the nugget Jérémy Doku. After an explosive Euro, the winger was stopped dead in his tracks due to repeated injuries.

Vinicius has taken on a new dimension

One thing is certain, the Devils are left in the face of the competition. Far ahead of Lukaku, Vinicius Jr is estimated at more than double the Chelsea striker (€ 166m). He is ahead of Phil Foden (who was leader six months ago, € 152.5m) and Erling Haaland (€ 142m).

“Per post, the highest values ​​were measured for Gianluigi Donnarumma among goalkeepers, Rúben Dias for center-backs, Alphonso Davies among full-backs, Jude Bellingham for defensive midfielders, Florian Wirtz for attacking midfielders, as well as for Vinícius Júnior among forwards. Kylian Mbappé has the highest value for players whose contract ends in June “, specifies the letter.

Note that, overall, all players have lost value in six months. Obviously, the coronavirus crisis plays a key role in this devaluation process. And let us also specify that these values ​​are only statistical estimates according to objective criteria such as contract, age and performance. The different clauses in the contracts are not taken into account in this ranking.
