Ranking the 30 Ballon d'Or nominees by their transfer market value

Modified Oct 18, 2018 07:44 GMT

#24 Ivan Rakitic

The 30-year-old hardworking Croatian midfield player is at no. 24 in our list with a market value of 45 million pounds. Rakitic is presently having a career at FC Barcelona. He was highly approbated for his work with Croatian National team in their run-up to the World Cup finals 2018.

Ivan Rakitic has openly supported Lionel Messi ahead of his Croatian teammate Luka Modric to win the Ballon d’Or 2018 trophy.

#23 Edinson Cavani

The 31-year-old tall Uruguay Centre-Forward presently plays with PSG along with Neymar. He is valued at 54 million pounds and is considered one of the best strikers in the industry. The nomination of Cavani in the list of 30 nominated footballers for Ballon d’Or 2018 trophy is justifiable. But he is unlikely to make it to the final 3 shortlist of Ballon d’Or 2018.

#22 Alisson Becker

The 26 year old young goalkeeper from Brazil who plies his trade with Liverpool FC is valued at 54 million pounds. He comes up at No.22 in our list and deserves a nomination in the 30 man shortlist of Ballon d’Or 2018. He is easily considered as one of the best custodians in the Premier League presently. But it is unlikely that he will make it to the final 3 man shortlist of Ballon d’Or 2018.

#21 Marcelo

The left-back at Real Madrid and Brazil National football team is part of the nominations list of Ballon d’Or 2018. He is valued presently at 54 Million pounds and comes up at No.21 in our list.

Considered as a player who brings in more value to the team both in defence and while going forward, he is an absolute team player who deserves to be part of the 30 man shortlist.
