There is an abundance of young stars coming through in world football right now and several of them make the cut for the most valuable XI in football.
Four of Europe’s top five leagues are represented in the side with players from the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 all making the cut.
Based off their Transfermarkt valuations, we’ve compiled the most valuable XI in world football right now.
GK: Thibaut Courtois
Real Madrid shot-stopper Courtois is the oldest player to make it into the most valuable XI as he is five years older than any other player in the side.
The 30-year-old is still going strong in Spain and is the most valuable goalkeeper in world football as things stand. Valued at a whopping €60million, he just edges out the likes of Gianluigi Donnarumma and Alisson.

RB: Reece James
James is valued at €70million along with Achraf Hakimi, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joao Cancelo. Due to James being the youngest of those players he is given the nod in the most valuable XI.
The 23-year-old was a notable absentee from England’s World Cup squad due to injury and he will now be looking to return to action with Chelsea in the Premier League.
CB: Ruben Dias
Manchester City have a wealth of options at centre-back, but it’s Portuguese international Dias that makes the cut as their most valuable defender. The 25-year-old is valued at €75million, which is considerably more than the likes of Aymeric Laporte and John Stones.
CB: Josko Gvardiol
Lionel Messi might have knocked a chunk of his valuation when he rinsed Gvardiol in the World Cup, but the 20-year-old defender is certainly one of the best in the business right now.
The RB Leipzig star is currently valued at €75million and he is being linked with several of Europe’s elite clubs after a successful World Cup campaign.

LB: Alphonso Davies
Davies has had a series of injuries across the last two seasons which has perhaps halted his progression. Despite this, he is one of the most explosive and exciting defenders in the world right now.
