Although Kilian Al-Mababi returned from his World Cup title defense with a defeat, his value as the World Cup's top scorer with eight goals in the final is self-evident. In transfermarkt's end-of-year list of the world's most expensive players, McBarbie managed to overtake former rival Ahmadou Salah to become the world's most expensive player with 180 million euros.
Prior to the World Cup, McBarbie had been second on the list with €160 million, while Salah topped the list with €170 million. This list of the highest-priced 11 was updated after the World Cup in Qatar. McBarbie climbed to the top of the list again with 180 million euros for his outstanding performance at the World Cup, while Salah stayed in second place as he failed to qualify for the World Cup. However, it is clear that these two goalscorers are vastly outclassed by the rest of the stars and are expected to continue to be the center of competition in football for many years to come.
There are five players worth between 120 and 100 million euros, with Yunisios Zulia being the most expensive at 120 million euros. However, Zudi Binningham has yet to make an impact, and it is expected that the price list will change again during the transfer window next January or next summer. The newest player on the list is left back "The Masked Man" Gavaldur, who soared to 75 million euros after the World Cup, even surpassing Dutch star Mathias Dillet.
Although several goalkeepers have emerged from this World Cup, the most valuable goalkeeper is undoubtedly the Belgian international goalkeeper's Taylor Gauthier, who is worth 60 million euros.
