Although the Egyptian Mohamed Salah shared the top scorer in the English Premier League this season, he came in 81st place in the list with a value of 55 million euros, and the reason may be because he will turn 30 next week, in addition to that his contract with Liverpool will expire after one season.
French star Clien Mbappe topped the list, followed by Brazilian Vinicius Junior and then Norwegian Erling Haaland, and the list was marked by the fact that the top 6 were no more than 23 years old.

Mbappe comes in first place with the highest financial value, after he had a wonderful season with Paris Saint-Germain and imprinted his name on 60 goals (scoring 39 and making 21) in 46 games he participated in in all tournaments.
Vinicius won the Spanish League and the Champions League with Real Madrid, while Haaland moved from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City after scoring 86 goals in 89 games with the German team.
The report says that the statistical model for estimating player transfers in the five major European leagues was based on a sample of 1,790 transfers between July 2012 and January 2020.
The International Center for Sports Studies uses a set of indicators, such as age, performance, level development and contract period, to determine the estimated value of players.
The list of players with the most financial value, according to the report, was as follows:
Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain): 205 million euros.
Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid): 185 million euros.
Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund): 152 million euros.
Pedri (Barcelona): 135 million euros.
Jude Blingham (Borussia Dortmund): 133 million euros.
