Player Valuation Update: Haaland on top, slight growth in overall values and 114 additional clubs in our database
We are proud to announce, that with the addition of more than 3,000 players from over 100 clubs to our database, including all footballers in the top tiers of Russia, Austria and Saudi Arabia, it now covers 8,300+ players from 358 clubs in the best leagues of the UEFA, CONMEBOL and AFC regions. Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland has become the most valuable footballer for the first time in our analysis with a market value of EUR 144m, an 8% increase since our last update in July 2021. Our review also demonstrates that most players have still not regained their “pre-pandemic” value, although aggregate market values for both the top 100 and top 500 players have slightly increased since July.
