City & Bayern are the most common
In order to be one of the 100 most valuable footballers in the world in January 2024, a market value of 50 million euros is required. This applies to 113 players, three more than in the evaluation last September. Of these, 55 are still active in the Premier League, the rest are spread across LaLiga (20 players/ +2), the Bundesliga (15/ +3), Serie A (12/ +3), Ligue 1 (10/ -2) and the Eredivisie (1 /+1). The Portugal League (-2) and the Saudi Pro League (-2) are no longer represented in the ranking. The January transfer window could throw the numbers into disarray over the next four weeks.
