Bayern Munich are one of the most successful clubs in Europe's top five leagues. The Bavarian winners have won a record 30 Bundesliga titles, winning their ninth consecutive title in the competition last season.

They have also fared well in Europe, winning two continental trebles in the last decade. Unsurprisingly, some of the best players in the game have turned up for Bayern Munich over the years, especially in this period.

Julian Nagelsmann's men have had a good start to their 2021-22 campaign. They look good for a record-extending tenth consecutive Bundesliga title and a deep run in the Champions League. Bayern are joint-top of the league table after seven games, while they've scored eight unanswered goals in two games in the Champions League.

On that note, here are the five most valuable Bayern Munich players at the moment.

Robert Lewandowski is, without a doubt, the hottest striker on the planet at the moment.

Bayern Munich's prolific Pole has gone from strength to strength since arriving at the club seven summers ago. The 33-year-old continues to age like fine wine, recently racking up his 300th goal for the club in all competitions.

Lewandowski has played a huge role in Bayern's domestic and European dominance, scoring 210 goals in the Bundesliga for them and 60 in the Champions League. Last season, he scored 41 times to break the late Gerd Muller's long-standing record of most goals (40) in a Bundesliga season.

Lewandowski has started this season on a tear; he is already up to 13 goals across three different competitions.


#4 Alphonso Davies - €70 million

The three-time Bundesliga and continental-treble winner has started his 2021-22 campaign well, providing three assists across competitions.

Leon Goretzka is arguably one of the best central midfielders in the game, on current form.

The 26-year-old has had a successful stint at Bayern Munich since arriving at the Bundesliga heavyweights two summers ago. Goretzka registered the best minutes-per-goal (153.2) contribution by any midfielder in the Bundesliga in the last two seasons.

The three-time Bundesliga winner has opened his account for the season, scoring once and assisting once in ten games across competitions. After a rather underwhelming campaign last season, by his staggering standards, Gnabry looks set for a prolific season.


#1 Joshua Kimmich - €90 million

Needless to say, Kimmich has played a key role in Bayern Munich's dominance across competitions since his arrival at the club.

The diminutive player has already racked up three goals and four assists in the Bundesliga this season, making him a key cog in Julian Nagelsmann's team.
