According to the report by the CIES Football Observatory, the list of 100 most valuable footballers in the world complied most on estimated transfer values.

CIES used a statistical model that was exclusively developed by them, with Haaland and other players aged 24 and under dominating the list.

As per the report, the 22-year-old Norwegian forward finished top with an estimated value of €250 million.

This should not be a surprise considering the excellent season Haaland has had in his debut campaign for the English champions.

He has broken available scoring records in the famous Premier League after scoring 36 goals last season en route helping Pep Guardiola and City win the league title for the third time in a row.

Haaland also scored 12 goals in 10 matches to fire Man City closer to an unprecedented treble as they take on Inter Milan in the final of the Champions League this weekend.
