While Mbappé costs 180 million, what Lionel Messi is worth after shining in Qatar 2022
The world champion, at 35, still has a significant market value.
Lionel Messi, captain of the Argentine team and top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7), shone at the World Cup in Qatar and confirmed that he is the best player in history. At 35, he proved that age is just a number and scored seven goals and provided three assists that led Albiceleste to their third title. Now, the market value of the 'Flea' is revealed, while Kylian Mbappé costs 180 million euros.
A few days ago the World Cup in Qatar ended and the specialized portal 'Transfermarkt' released the price update for each player. The French Kylian Mbappé is the most expensive footballer. After a superb World Cup, which could not conclude with the two-time championship for the Gauls, 'Donatello' is positioned in first place, being valued at 180 million euros. However, before a future transaction for his pass, PSG could ask for up to 640.
