This was at Football Italia:
Only two Serie A players broke into the top 20 of CIES Football Observatory’s Most Valuable Players list, which is topped by stars like Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.
Serie A is starting to become a more celebrated league in Europe again in recent years, with many neutral fans now starting to keep an eye on things like the recent title race between
Milan and
Inter. The Italian topflight could be on the precipice of a renaissance period, even if it’s unlikely to match the heights of the 1990’s.
As detailed by CIES Football Observatory, the most valuable player in Serie A is
Inter striker Lautaro Martinez, who has an estimated market value of around €106.7m, putting him 10th overall, just ahead of Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala (€105.3m) and just behind Barcelona’s Ferran Torres (€109.5m).
The other Serie A player who breaks into the top 20 is
18th place Nicolo Barella, who is estimated to be worth €94.9m, a little less than Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes (€97.8m) and a little more than Chelsea’s Kai Havertz (€93.6m).
