The World Cup is the best possible stage for a footballer to present himself to the world, and many in Qatar used it to promote themselves and raise their price on the market, among other things. A week after the end of the World Cup, the specialized portal Transfermarkt updated the values of 53 footballers who participated in the World Cup in Doha.##EDITORS_CHOICE##The correction of prices caused a change at the top of the list of the most valuable football players. Kylian Mbappe (160,000,000 euros) held the title of the most expensive during most of 2022, but Erling Haaland took the crown with unreal performances in the Manchester City jersey at the beginning of November (170,000,000). However, the Norwegian rested during the World Cup, therefore his price stagnated, while Mbappe shone in front of the whole world. He scored eight goals in seven games, recorded two assists and did everything in his power to help France defend the title of world champion. Hence, his price also increased, by a whole 20,000,000 euros – more than any other player in the previous month – so he is again the most expensive player in the world with a price of 180,000,000 euros.##NAJAVA_MECA_6906324##Enzo Fernandez also used the World Cup in the best possible way. Along with Mbappe, the Benfica player’s price has increased the most in the past month. Before the World Cup, it was 35,000,000 euros, now it is 55,000,000, ten times more than at the beginning of the calendar year (5,000,000)! Right behind the mentioned duo is Julián Alvarez, whose market value increased by 18,000,000 euros and now amounts to 50,000,000, while the prices of Josko Gvardiol, Cody Gakpo and Sofyan Amrabat jumped by 15,000,000 each. Gvardiol’s value after the latest “update” is 75,000,000 euros, and the Croatian defender, along with Ruben Dias, is currently the most expensive center defender on the planet!##NAJAVA_MECA_6905476##The top 10 players whose prices increased the most during the World Cup are Azzedine Ounahi (went up 11,500,000), followed by Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Aurelien Tchouameni, Alexis MacAllister and Dayot Upamecano (price went up 10,000,000 each). Bellingham thus tied with his national team colleague Phil Foden in fourth place among the most expensive players in the world (110,000,000 euros each), while Bukayo Saka made it into the ten most valuable and shares the sixth position with Pedri and Jamal Musiala (100,000,000 each).Of the mentioned 53 footballers, eleven are from the Moroccan national team, seven each from Argentina and France, three from Croatia… It is also interesting that Randal Kolo Muani increased his value by 7,000,000 euros in just 180 minutes played at the World Cup…##NAJAVA_MECA_6906214##PLAYERS WHOSE PRICE INCREASED THE MOST AT THE QATAR 2022 WORLD CUP (in euros)Kylian Mbappe – 180,000,000 (+20,000,000)Enzo Fernandez – 55,000,000 (+20,000,000)Julian Alvarez – 50,000,000 (+18,000,000)Josko Gvardiol – 75,000,000 (+15,000,000)Cody Gakpo – 60,000,000 (+15,000,000)Sofyan Amrabat – 25,000,000 (+15,000,000)Azzedine Ounahi – 15,000,000 (+11,500,000)Jude Bellingham – 110,000,000 (+10,000,000)Bukayo Saka – 100,000,000 (+10,000,000)Aurelien Tchouameni – 90,000,000 (+10,000,000)Alexis MacAllister – 42,000,000 (+10,000,000)Dayot Upamecano – 60,000,000 (+10,000,000)***note – player name, updated market value, how much it increased after the World CupTHE MOST EXPENSIVE PLAYERS IN THE WORLD©Transfermarkt PrintScreen
