#2 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool):
Transfer Market Value: €219.6 million
Mo Salah returned to the Premier League after an underwhelming stint with Chelsea, with the determination to prove his doubters wrong this time around. He set the league alight in his first season with Liverpool, scoring 32 goals in the Premier League and breaking Cristiano Ronaldo's record of most goals in a single season. He continued his brilliant form in his second season at the club, scoring 27 goals and providing 10 assists across all competitions for Liverpool and helping Liverpool lifting the prestigious Champions League trophy.
Mo Salah was bought for an estimated €42 million a couple of seasons back, which looked like too much money for a player who didn't do much during his first stint in the Premier League. But as it turned out, it was the best €42 million the club had ever spent. And now, Mo Salah is valued at €219.6 million by CIES Football Observatory.
#1 Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint Germain):
Transfer Market Value: €252 million
Kylian Mbappe burst onto the scene during the 2016/17 with AS Monaco, scoring 21 goals and providing 8 assists in 38 appearances in the Ligue 1 and Uefa Champions league combined and helping Monaco lift the Ligue 1 title that year. He became one of the hottest prospects in Europe, with Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain both fighting for his signature. Paris Saint Germain eventually won the war and bought the lightning-quick forward on loan, with an option to buy for a reported fee for €180 million.
Kylian Mbappe has, so far, lived up to the hype and his price-tag. The boy-wonder has 39 goals and 12 assists to his name this season; only Lionel Messi has managed to score more goals in all competitions. He is still Europe's most wanted player and is valued at €252 million by CIES Football Observatory.
