The market value of footballers is determined by their desirability and is the amount of money that a football club would pay for their services. With the international break now over, and club football back on the weekends, let’s have a look at the most expensive Bundesliga XI.
GK: Gregor Kobel (Dortmund) €18 million
LB: Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich) €70 million
CB: Lucas Hernandez (Bayern Munich) €45 million
CB: Dayot Upamecano (Bayern Munich) €60 million
RB: Benjamin Pavard (Bayern Munich) €35 million
CM: Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich) €90 million
CM: Jude Bellingham (Dortmund) €70 million
CAM: Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen) €65 million
LW: Leroy Sane (Bayern Munich) €60 million
RW: Serge Gnabry (Bayern Munich) €70 million
ST: Erling Haaland (Dortmund) €150 million
Gregor Kobel of Borussia Dortmund is between the sticks, level on market value with Manuel Neuer. However, the younger of the two has the higher market value and makes it in goal.
The same applies to Jude Bellingham and Leon Goretzka. The Dortmund midfielder is in his teens and will surely have a bigger market value in the years to come.
Florian Wirtz becomes the second most expensive teenager in the list, and the only player not from Bayern or Dortmund. The Leverkusen midfielder is on his way to be a top talent in the upcoming years.
Bayern Munich dominate most of the XI, with the entire backline, wings and a third of the midfield comprising their players. This only proves that they are on a level of their own in the Bundesliga.
Erling Haaland is the most expensive player in the lineup, and in the Bundesliga. He is rated at €150 million, and is only surpassed by Kylian Mbappe by a small margin.
