According to Transfermarkt, both Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe were the worldâs most valuable players for a while. But the site has recently revealed Jude Bellingham now joined the two stars atop its ranking.
In its latest update of market values in LaLiga, the Englishmanâs price tag rose to âŹ180 million, tying both the Manchester City striker and the Paris Saint-Germain superstar.
