Haaland most expensive footballer in the world, Gakpo most valuable Dutchman
NOS Soccer–
Erling Haaland is currently the most expensive soccer player on international fields. A study by Swiss agency CIES estimates his value at just over 245 million euros.
Haaland (22) won the national title and the FA Cup with Manchester City this season. On Saturday, he will also play the final of the Champions League.
The research not only looks at value in general, as, for example, the website Transfermarkt does. But also the remaining duration of the contract.
That is why, for example, Kylian Mbappé ranks only tenth, with a value of over 163 million. Mbappé’s contract runs for one more season.
Gakpo most expensive Dutchman
Second and third are now Vinícius Junior (Real Madrid, 196.3 million) and Bukayo Saka (Arsenal, 195.8 million).
Most expensive Dutchman is Cody Gakpo (Liverpool, 87 million), which puts him in 26th place. Xavi Simons (PSV) is the most expensive player in the premier league, with an estimated value of 67.3 million. Even though Paris Saint-Germain has an option to bring the midfielder back for 12 million euros.
Also in the Top-100 are Frenkie de Jong (77.2 million, 41st), Matthijs de Ligt (68.3 million, 63rd) and Ajacied Kenneth Taylor (61.5 million, 81st).
