Bellingham tops transfer value table
Jude Bellingham heads the list of the 100 players worldwide with the top estimated transfer value according to the statistical model exclusively developed by the CIES Football Observatory research team. His owner club, Borussia Dortmund, could potentially earn up to €208m by transferring the 19-year-old English prodigy. With Bellingham’s contract running out in June 2025, this is probably the transfer window during which the Germans could make the biggest profit.

Kylian"> and Vinícius"> are in the top four (both €191m), just ahead of the English Premier League top scorer Erling"> (€175m).
