The most valuable XI in world football has been named

The 2021/2022 season has officially come to a close and so we now have an updated version of the world’s most valuable XI of players.

Football is arguably the most lucrative sport in the world.

Gone are the days where top players could be signed for a mere £25 million fee, instead if owners want to sign the best of the best they’d better be prepared to fork out nine figures.

Neymar’s €222 million switch from Barcelona to Paris-Saint Germain still represents the existing transfer record, although one would imagine that statistic has a short-life span with fees seemingly ballooning with every passing summer break.

We’re now actually at the point where clubs feel the need to place £1 billion release clauses in their player’s contracts in order to frighten off potential suitors.

We saw that recently with Barcelona and Pedri – the ironic part being that even if said clause was to be activated it still wouldn’t be enough to clear the Catalan giant’s eye-watering level of debt…

Anyway, you get the jist, football has gone money-mad.

Therefore in order to keep in with that theme, why not take a look at which players transfermarkt believe to be the most valuable in world football.

Instead of ranking the top 10, we’re going to show you the most lucrative XI so you can see who leads the way in each position.
