Portuguese celebrates birthday
Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates his 39th birthday today, Monday, February 5th. With a market value of 15 million euros, the Portuguese star striker has once again set a record. Before him, no player in the history of market values at Transfermarkt was valued so highly at this age. Ronaldo tripled the previous record set by Zlatan Ibrahimović, 5 million euros in December 2020, and Edwin van der Sar (October 2009).

His gap is even clearer in terms of current market values in his age group (for statistics): Ronaldo is followed by Chelsea defender Thiago Silva (39) with 2 million euros. In the record ranking of the 39-year-olds, the Brazilian is still enough for a top 10 placement. Ronaldo, who was once again one of the most dangerous players in the world for Al-Nassr FC and the national team in the 2023 calendar year, also outperforms all players who are 37 or 38 years old. Only among the 36-year-olds is Lionel Messi, of all people, his eternal opponent as a player with a higher market value (35 million).
Among the most valuable players in their age group, this snapshot once again includes some players with a connection to the Bundesliga – or those who are still active there: Mathys Tel (50 million) from FC Bayern Munich is at the top among the 18-year-olds, his teammates Leroy Sané (80 million), Harry Kane (110 million) and Manuel Neuer (5 million) for the 28, 30 and 37 year olds respectively.

Nobody can beat Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne (60 million) among the 32-year-olds, while İlkay Gündoğan (18 million) is ahead among the 33-year-olds. Toni Kroos (14 million) pushed Thomas Müller (10 million) off his place in the sun on his birthday on January 4th, now 34 years old. Among the 35-year-olds, Robert Lewandowski (20 million) is still at the top today and Jude Bellingham (20) and Erling Haaland (23), with a market value of 180 million euros, not only lead their age group, but in general – on a par with Kylian Mbappé ( 25) – all footballers worldwide.
