The England international is currently one of the most sought-after players in the world, with his value tripling since his sensational move to Santiago Bernabeu.

According to the BBC, Real forked out an eyewatering £88million to land the services of the midfielder from Borussia Dortmund last summer.

And just a year after the move, the youngster's value has almost trebled, according to new figures released by the Swiss-based CIES Football Observatory.

Who are the most valuable players?

Per CIES, Bellingham is currently worth an eyewatering £237 million.

Manchester City hotshot Erling Haaland is placed second on the list, with the Norwegian forward valued at £217 million.

Like Bellingham, Haaland has equally been impressive, with the former Dortmund ace recently reclaiming the Premier League Golden Boot award.

The Norway international carted home the prize after scoring 27 times in the English top flight to help City win a historic fourth consecutive EPL crown.

Meanwhile, Vinicius Jr ranks third among the most valuable players, with the Brazilian star valued at £205mili.

Real Madrid star Rodrygo and Man City's Phil Foden complete the top five podium.

Foden equally played a pivotal role during City's history-making campaign, and the Englishman's role also earned him the prestigious Premier League Player of the Season award.

Bellingham beats Vini Jr to top prize

Earlier, Sports Brief also reported on Bellingham edging competition from Real Madrid teammate, Vinicius Junior, to clinch the Player of the Season in La Liga in his debut campaign.

The 20-year-old midfielder made it back-to-back Most Valuable Player awards, having done so in the Bundesliga in 2022–23 after an explosive maiden season with Los Blancos led to a record-extending 36th Spanish top-flight title.
