It is undeniable that some of the best footballers in the world play in today’s Real Madrid. Not in vain, it is said that the winner of the next Ballon d’Or will be between two stars of his squad: Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, who have led Real Madrid in a historic season at the local and continental level. Therefore, it is not surprising that these stars of the merengue team are considered the most valuable in the entire world.
As proof of this, a prestigious Swiss research and educational entity, the International Center for Sports Studies (CIES), has published a list in which the footballers with the highest transfer value of the moment are classified, from highest to lowest. The Brazilian couple from Real Madrid, made up of Vini and Rodrygo, stands out from the rest by entering the TOP-5.
