Manchester United have assembled an impressive roster under Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer.

The Red Devils splurged €85 million to land Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho (valued at €100 million), who is the most valuable United player at the moment. United also brought in Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane (€40 million). But the icing on the cake was the return of the 'prodigal son' Cristiano Ronaldo (€45 million) after 12 years,

Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes (€90 million) is one of United's most valuable players. He has scored goals galore since his arrival last January. Injured winger Marcus Rashford (€85 million) has also been a key player for the club over the years.

Meanwhile, the Red Devils also have the rejuvenated Paul Pogba (€60 million) and inspirational captain Harry Maguire (€55 million) in their ranks. Exciting youngster Mason Greenwood (€50 million), Luke Shaw (€42 million), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (€40 million) and Scot McTominay (€35 million) are all valuable members as well.

Goalkeeper Dean Henderson (€22 million) appears to have become the club's new first-choice, ahead of the excellent David de Gea (€18 million).


#2 PSG - €998 million

PSG have had one of the greatest transfer windows by any club in recent history after they made a raft of inspired signings this summer.

The Ligue 1 giants first acquired Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum and Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos on free transfers. They followed it up by bringing in Barcelona legend Lionel Messi and Euro 2020-winning Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma without paying any money.

The arrival of Messi (valued at €80 million) means PSG now have a fearsome attacking triumvirate that also features Kylian Mbappe (€160 million) and Neymar (€100 million). Unsurprisingly, the three of them are the most valuable players on the PSG roster as well.

Captain Marquinhos (€75 million), Donnarumma (€65 million) and Achraf Hakimi (€60 million) are other valuable players on PSG's expensively assembled roster. Italy's Euro 2020-winning midfielder Marco Verratti (€55 million), a key player for club and country, has been at PSG for over a decade.

Angel Di Maria (€20 million), centre-back Presnel Kimpembe (€40 million) and Mauro Icardi (€40 million) are the other key players on the PSG roster.


#1 Manchester City - €1.04 billion

Manchester City are the only club team that has a cumulative player valuation of €1 billion.

Despite their requirement of a centre-forward, City could only bring in midfielder Jack Grealish (valued at €65.5 million) on a €117.5-million transfer this summer. Nevertheless, Pep Guardiola appears to have most of their bases covered, and City look like the team to beat in England and Europe.

Midfield metronome Kevin De Bruyne (€100 million) is the most valuable player in the City squad. Winger Raheem Sterling (€90 million) and midfielder Phil Foden (€80 million) are also key players and have evolved massively under Guardiola.

Ruben Dias (€75 million) is arguably the best centre-back in the game at the moment. He is followed in valuation by midfielders Bernardo Silva and Rodri, both valued at €70 million.

Forward Gabriel Jesus (€60 million) and full-back Joao Cancelo (€55 million) are also key players in the side. Goalkeeper Ederson (€50 million) and 21-year-old midfielder Ferran Torres (€45 million) are extremely valuable as well.

Aymeric Laporte (€45 million) may no longer be the first-choice defender for Guardiola. But midfielders Riyad Mahrez (€42 million) and Ilkay Gundogan (€40 million), and centre-back John Stones (€30 million) are key personnel in the City bandwagon.
