Premier League clubs boast combined £10.52bn squad value as Most Valuable Players are unveiled.

The Premier League’s status as world football’s wealthiest and most competitive arena has once again been underlined, with Transfermarkt.com revealing the top 10 most valuable players going into the 2025/26 campaign.

CBI News reports that Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City stars dominate the rankings, reflecting the league’s enduring appeal for elite talent.

Collectively, the 20 clubs are now valued at a staggering £10.52 billion, further cementing England’s top flight as the global benchmark.

10. Moisés Caicedo – £77.61m

Chelsea’s £115m signing has grown into a midfield cornerstone, providing balance with his defensive reading and distribution. New boss Enzo Maresca will lean heavily on him.

9. Alexis Mac Allister – £86.24m

Liverpool’s World Cup winner brings tactical calmness and discipline. His understated consistency was central to Arne Slot’s title-winning season.

8. Phil Foden – £86.24m

After a quiet year with just nine goal contributions, the City star faces a defining campaign to rediscover the brilliance that once earned him Player of the Season.

7. Rodri – £94.86m

The Ballon d’Or holder remains irreplaceable for City. His ACL injury last September coincided with a disastrous 38-day winless run. His return could shape their title defence.

6. Alexander Isak – £103.48m

Despite uncertainty over his Newcastle future, the Swede’s pace, power, and technical ability make him one of the division’s most complete strikers. Liverpool are reportedly circling.

5. Cole Palmer – £103.48m

Palmer lit up Chelsea with 33 goal contributions in his debut season. A brief dip late on is seen as temporary, with the expectation he’ll remain central to their attack.

4. Declan Rice – £103.48m

Arsenal’s £105m midfielder has silenced critics, emerging as a true leader alongside Bukayo Saka. With Martin Zubimendi’s arrival, Rice may thrive further forward.

3. Florian Wirtz – £120.73m

Liverpool’s marquee summer signing has been tasked with easing Mohamed Salah’s burden.

Manager Arne Slot said: “He has the quality to match Salah’s influence.”

2. Bukayo Saka – £129.36m

At just 23, Saka is Arsenal’s heartbeat. With Viktor Gyökeres leading the line, the winger could be primed for his best-ever season.

1. Erling Haaland – £155.23m

The Norwegian striker retains top spot. With 36 goals in his debut season and another prolific year despite City’s struggles, Haaland remains the Premier League’s ultimate weapon.
