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

#14 Roberto Firmino

Roberto Firmino

The 27-year-old Brazilian is valued at 72 million pounds playing for Liverpool FC. His multifaceted abilities to play as a forward, winger or as an attacking midfielder makes a wonderful value addition to any side.

Roberto Firmino is for sure one of the best 30 footballers in the world at the moment but is unlikely to sway a lot of votes while picking the final Ballon d’Or 2018 winner.

#13 Sergio Agüero

Sergio Agüero

A prolific striker for both Argentina national team and Manchester City, Sergio Aguero is valued at 72 million pounds and comes up at No. 13 in our list. He was named part of the 30-man shortlist for Ballon d’Or 2018 by the French football magazine France Football rightly.

Though he has made the nominations, don't put your cards on him making it to the podium. It is highly unlikely that he will win the Ballon d’Or trophy this year.

#12 N'Golo Kanté

N'Golo Kanté

N'Golo Kanté has been considered as a machine, looking at his work ethic and on-field tireless job as a defensive midfielder. N'Golo Kanté is a solid player worthy of winning Ballon d’Or 2018. But being a shy and introvert star that he is, it is hard to see him making to the podium.

Kante is valued at 72 million pounds and comes up at No.12 in our list. He is one of the 2 Chelsea FC players to be part of the 30-man shortlist.

#11 Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba

Pogba is valued at 81 million pounds playing for Manchester United. The 25-year-old central midfield player has years under his belt and will be a sure shot contender for Ballon d’Or in the future years.

Paul Pogba has come out in the open naming 4 French footballers as worthy of Ballon d’Or 2018 and is of the opinion that a French national should win the Ballon d’Or 2018 considering the World Cup campaign France has had.
