Messi and Ronaldo, two of the greatest players of all time are no longer the most expensive players in the world and understandably so as both are at the twilight of their careers. 

Many fans want to see which young stars will make the biggest impression at the World Cup, and it is age which means that the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski are not the three most expensive stars that will be competing this winter.

So, who are the three most valuable players in Qatar? Here, we take a look.

Kylian Mbappe (Value: 160 million euros)

In the absence of Erling Haaland (valued at 170 million euros), the French striker is the most expensive player at the World Cup in Qatar.

During last summer, he was the object of Real Madrid’s desire, which is why his value is the highest of the World Cup at 160m euros.

The Paris Saint-Germain forward is aiming to win his second successive World Cup.

Vinicius (Value: 120 million euros)

The Brazilian forward of Real Madrid, with whom he won the Champions League last season, is in second place in the ranking with a value of 120m euros.

His Brazil team are among the favorites to lift the trophy in Qatar, with Vinicius keen to do so at what will be his first attempt.

Phil Foden (Value 110 million euros)

Phil Foden has been in superb form for Manchester City this season and has been linking up very well with Haaland.

The Englishman will play his first World Cup in Qatar and is valued at 110m euros.

Beyond these three, there are numerous other well-known players with high market values who will compete in Qatar, including Thibaut Courtois (60 million euros), Fede Valverde (100 million euros), Jamal Musiala (100 million euros), Alphonso Davies (100 million euros), Trent Alexander-Arnold (70 million euros), Jude Bellingham (100 million euros), and Pedri (100 million euros).
