A new leader among the defenders has emerged in the global football market. According to updated Transfermarkt estimates, London's Arsenal player William Saliba is currently ranked number one as the most expensive defender in the world. The French footballer's market value is set at €90 million, a figure that distinguishes him from his competitors.
Saliba's rise to this level is not accidental. He has recently become a true support for Arsenal's defense. Calm movement, strong positional play, and reliability in big games further increased his value. As a result, he became the most highly rated player among the defenders.
Large names were also collected at the subsequent levels. Barcelona's young and promising defender, Pau Cubarsi, PSG star Ashraf Hakimi, and Inter Milan's strongman, Alessandro Bastoni, are all valued at the same amount - €80 million. This shows how strong the competition is in the defensive line.
In short, in today's football, not only forwards but also defenders are now in the center of big money and great attention. And Saliba is still the most valuable name of this front. And behind him, a new generation and experienced stars are breathing.
