4 other Bayern professionals there
According to the autumn market value updates, Mathys Tel is the most valuable footballer aged 18 in the world. In the snapshot* of the top market values by age group, the increase of 30 million to 50 million euros put the FC Bayern Munich attacker well ahead of future Barcelona striker Vitor Roque (32 million) and Youssoufa Moukoko (30 million) from BVB . The even younger Warren Zaïre-Emery (17) from PSG and Barça’s Lamine Yamal (16) are on equal footing and are currently leading their age groups.
From 16 to 40: The most valuable players in their age group
Tel, who has made an outstanding development this season and, despite primarily playing a joker role, contributes a scorer point every 46 minutes to coach Thomas Tuchel’s team’s game, is one of five Bayern professionals in the ranking. Joshua Kimmich (75 million euros) is in the lead among the 28-year-olds, Thomas Müller (12 million) among the 34-year-olds and Manuel Neuer (5 million) among the 37-year-olds. After his expensive move with one year remaining on his contract and the good debut in Munich, Harry Kane (30) even earned an increase of 20 million to 110 million euros, which is rare for this age group. No player over 30 currently comes close to the Englishman’s market value. Kevin De Bruyne (32), of course two years older, follows at a considerable distance with 70 million euros.
However, not only Kane has a special position among the older players, but also Robert Lewandowski (35), Lionel Messi (36) and Cristiano Ronaldo (38). With 30 million, 35 million and 15 million euros, they not only clearly lead their age groups, but also achieve higher market values than, for example, all 34-year-olds and most 33-year-olds – even though Messi and Ronaldo are now in the USA or Play Saudi Arabia, where market values tend to fall more quickly. This was shown, among other things, by the update in the Saudi Pro League, in which Karim Benzema (35) from Al-Ittihad Club was devalued to 15 million euros and thus fell significantly behind Lewandowski in his age group. Ronaldo is still 5 million ahead of Luka Modric (38), although he is still under contract with Real Madrid – although no longer as a regular – and Messi is a whopping 30 million ahead of Iago Aspas (36) from Celta Vigo.
The most valuable players in the world remain Erling Haaland (23) from Manchester City and Kylian Mbappé (24) from PSG with 180 million euros each. Since the updates, they have been followed by Jude Bellingham (20) with 150 million euros, on a par with his teammate Vinicius Junior (23) from Real Madrid. Interesting from the perspective of German football: DFB captain İlkay Gündoğan from FC Barcelona is the most valuable 33-year-old professional with a market value of 20 million euros.
