Four LFC stars in world’s Top 100 Most Valuable; oddly including Jordon Ibe at no.95

Posted by

CIES Football Observatory have released it’s annual list of the Top 100 most valuable players in the world, based on ability, pedigree, age, potential sell-on value, current club, nationality and performance.

Four Reds make the list, which yet again and unsurprisingly, is topped by Lionel Messi – who’s valued at €211m – ahead of Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo, Antoine Griezmann and Harry Kane.

Coutinho is the highest valued Liverpool player in at 27th, rated at €52.3m (although there’s now way we’d sell for that price).

In next is Emre Can at 59th, with CIES valuing our German bulldozer at €39.5m.

Roberto Firmino is rated the 65th most valuable player in the world at €38.1m, sandwiched between John Stones and Aaron Ramsey.

Despite the likes of Nathaniel Clyne, expensive striker Christian Benteke, prodigal forward Divock Origi and Jordan Henderson in our squad – CIES value wantaway winger Jordon Ibe next of the Reds – surely because of his lengthy contract and age.

They say Ibe is worth €30.3m, in at 95, and if somebody offered something near that sum, we’d surely snap their hands off.

You can see the entire list, here.
