The numbers were crunched to come up with an algorithm of the players who would command the highest fee on the transfer market right now.
Lionel Messi only came in 21st place at €100.1m, while Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo is only 70th on €62.8m.
Mbappé of PSG was on top, valued at €259.2m, as he is under contract until June 2023 and still only 21 years old.
He is followed by Raheem Sterling of Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho and Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool.
The most valuable Serie A player is Juve defender De Ligt in 18th place on €104.7m, considering more than the €85.5m they paid to sign him from Ajax last summer.
Other Serie A representatives are Lautaro Martinez of Inter in 23rd (worth €98.9m), his Nerazzurri teammate Romelu Lukaku on €90.3m and Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz on €81m.
The highest-rated Italian is Nicolò Zaniolo of Roma on €67.2m.
