#4 Germany (€883 million)
The defending champions and also one of the favourites to win this edition. Germany boasts a number of priceless players in their ranks. Add to that the fact that they have a brilliant squad depth in their ranks, which explains why they are touted to be favourites to win the World Cup this year.

Die Mannschaft's average age of the 23-man squad is 27.1, and they are currently leading the FIFA World Rankings.
Germany's most valuable player is Real Madrid anchorman Toni Kroos (€80m). Following him are Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Thomas Muller, Mats Hummels and Timo Werner, all valued at €60 million. Joshua Kimmich (€55m) is their third most prized asset, in terms of ranking.
Drawn in Group F alongside Mexico, Sweden and South Korea, there hardly seems a tough test for the Germans who are expected to win the group rather effortlessly.
