How times change. Neither Lionel Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo are included among the most expensive footballers of the 32 national teams, which will participate in the final phase of this year's World Cup 2022 (20/11-18/12). In this, of course, it plays a role that the two superstars have grown up as the Argentine is 35 years old and the Portuguese 37.

Even if all the final squads of the 26 players from each team called up for the World Cup in Qatar have not yet been announced, a number of players have already been guaranteed their presence.

So let's see exactly how each football player is valued:

At the top is the striker, Kylian Mbappe (France/Paris Saint-Germain) with an estimated value of 160 million euros. In front of the left winger Vinicius Junior (Brazil/Real Madrid) who costs 120 million euros. In third place, four footballers with 90 million euros each, midfielder Pedri (Spain/Barcelona), midfielder Jude Bellingham (England/Dortmund), forward Phil Foden (England/Manchester City) and center forward Harry Kane (England/Tottenham ).

Vlahovic and the 85 million euros

Then we have center forward Dusan Vlahovic (Serbia/Juventus) and midfielder Bruno Fernandes (Portugal/Manchester United) for 85 million euros. The ranking is closed with 80 million euros by midfielder Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium/Manchester City), also midfielder Jamal Musiala (Germany/Bayern Munich) and midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni (France/Real Madrid).

Of course, these prices will certainly be adjusted after the end of the World Cup where some will have gone even higher, and others will have fallen...
