The 15 most valuable footballers in the world

#12 Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal) - €68 million

He can score, he can assist; Sanchez can do it all

Alexis Sanchez is a modern-day godfather, well and truly. A player who made the top 5 of both the goals and assists charts in the Premier League this season, should be worth a fortune, and the valuation should be peanuts for the big boys in football.

Unfortunately for Arsenal fans, peanuts is what might take Sanchez away from the Emirates, as Bayern Munich and Manchester City are reportedly salivating at the thought of Sanchez wearing their colours.

#11 Gonzalo Higuain (Juventus) - €70 million

Juventus pretty much guaranteed the league when they signed Higuain

Perhaps it'll come as a bit of a surprise to see Higuain ahead of the players that have featured before, but the Argentine is a master in what he does, and his performance this season have rightly sky-rocketed his value.

Juventus paid a handsome fee to lure him away from Napoli, much to the dismay of the fans of the club. However, Higuain hasn't looked back at the controversial transfer, neither has he looked back at the unimpressive performances in the World Cup and Copa America finals. Instead, he has been banging goals left, right, and centre for the Old Lady, as they look to secure a glorious treble.

#10 Paul Pogba (Manchester United) - €80 million

Paul Pogba broke the record transfer just a year ago

Paul Pogba has had his critics at Manchester United this season, having failed to live up to the image he created during his time at Juventus. However, he has, at times, shown glimpses of his calibre, and will surely see his value increase as he plays further.

A supreme midfielder at his best, Pogba carries a charisma which is hard to ignore, which is why his demand is high amongst the big brands too. His value will surely jump up, as he finds some consistency.
