10 most valuable football players in the world - January 2021

#3 Sadio Mane (Liverpool) - €120 million

Sadio Mane is a firm fan favourite at Anfield

An integral part of Liverpool's amazing attacking trio, Sadio Mane has not been at his very best in the last few weeks. The Senegalese superstar was arguably Liverpool's most important player last season scoring some crucial goals and causing opposition defenders plenty of problems.

This season, however, Mane has failed to replicate the same form and has only scored 6 goals in 15 Premier League appearances so far.

The pacy forward can still cause plenty of problems to opposition defenders and Jurgen Klopp will be hoping that his star man gets back his mojo soon. Still only 28, Mane can continue to be at the top of his game for at least another 2 years.

#2 Neymar Jr. (Paris Saint-Germain) - €128 million

Neymar will be hoping to guide PSG to continental glory this season

The world's most expensive player ever, Neymar Jr. still has an impressive market value of €128 million. One of the most talented players to ever play the game, Neymar put in some stunning performances and almost guided PSG to the elusive UEFA Champions League title last season.

The Brazilian superstar seems to have matured a lot in the last year and he looks determined to remain motivated and injury free towards the business end of this season.

New manager Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping to get the best out of Neymar and elevate his game to even greater heights.

#1 Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain) - €180 million

Kylian Mbappe has the world at his feet

Sitting way on top of this list, Kylian Mbappe is the most valuable player in world football at the moment. The Paris Saint-Germain superstar has strongly been tipped to win a Ballon d'Or in the future and it is tough to argue against it happening.

Mbappe has been in fine form in Ligue 1 scoring an incredible 12 goals in just 13 appearances so far. Blessed with electric pace, supreme dribbling ability, and clinical finishing skills, the French superstar has been linked with a big money move to Real Madrid or Liverpool in the last few months.

Still only 22-years-old, Kylian Mbappe has the potential to become one of the greatest football players of this generation.

Note: Cristiano Ronaldo's (35-years-old) market value is €60 million, while Lionel Messi's (33-years-old) market value is €100 million
