Lautaro Martinez named most valuable Argentina player

Inter striker Lautaro Martinez is the most valuable Argentina international in the world right now, valued at €85m, claim TNT Sports.

The forward turns 26 in August and was part of the World Cup winning squad, while he also reached the Champions League Final after winning the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana this season.

That all helps to put him top of the tree in transfer value at circa €85m, as calculated by Transfermarkt.

Martinez scored 28 goals in 57 competitive games this season for Inter, along with 11 assists.

Next in line is Enzo Fernandez at €80m, despite the fact he was purchased by Chelsea for an astonishing €121m fee from Benfica in January.

Alexis MacAllister of Liverpool follows on €65m, then Cristian Romero and Julian Alvarez on €60m.

Lionel Messi is only eighth in the list and valued at €35m, while Paulo Dybala of Roma completes the top 10 on €30m.
