The Most Valuable International Squads In World Football 

The Most Valuable International Squads In World Football

International squads are usually rated according to the number of matches and major tournaments they have won but here is a new twist to the ranking as we have rated the international squads according to transfer values in today’s football market in Transfermarkt. Let’s get right into it: 

9) Germany- €653 Million

Germany is a big producer of football talents and usually they are world-class but they like to stay in their home-country and play for Bayern Munich rather than choose another team. This might be the reason why they are so low in the list but talent galore, they are one of the best talent producing teams in the football world. Players like Musiala, Wirtz and Kimmich are on the highest rated talents among the German team but all 3 play in the German League as of now.

8) Netherlands- €729 Million

The Netherlands has been one of the underdogs in every international tournament, they have accumulated a squad that is playing all across the globe and has been a goldmine of talent. Depay played in the Brazilian league, Van Dijk and Cody Gakpo in Liverpool, Dumfries in Inter Milan. Solid team on paper and on the transfer value list, The Dutch are still looking for attacking reinforcements that can provide good goal output. 

7) Argentina- €751 Million

Argentina are the current World Cup holders but feature low on the list as they have a good blend of new upcoming talents and also experienced players who are still running the show. Players like Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria and Nicolas Otamendi reduce the current squad value as they are well over the age of 35 but still provide experience and personality to the team. 

6) Italy-  €819 Million

Italy might be suffering from a big slump in their footballing era but they still have one of the best assembled squads in the whole world according to the transfer values that the players hold. Players like Calafiori, Destiny Udogie, Bastoni, Sandro Tonali and Barella help with raising the squad value. They might be suffering as a team but in their respective teams, they are a big part of the individual teams and their systems. 

5) Portugal- €924 Million

Portugal has just won the Nations League and it might be harsh to say but it will be the only place where Cristiano Ronaldo would be pulling the team down. The age of 40 years makes a big difference on the transfer value, the goat might be past his prime but it is one of the biggest assets of the team. Surrounding Ronaldo, is a team of youthful talents who are playing for the best teams in the world. They have a bright future ahead and will be looking to win the World Cup in 2026. 

4) Brazil- €932 Million

The Selecao has always been one of the best producers of the attacking players, and the story here remains the same, the midfield might bring the value down but the astronomical value of players like Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Raphinha brings the total of the Brazil team to the 4th place. The defence is also not very impressive as full-backs are not up to usual Brazilian standards but the attack keeps the samba running. 

3) France- €1.25 Billion

Not a surprise for anybody, everybody knows the talent and the price tags attached to it for the French players. Players like Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, Micheal Olise and William Saliba help break the billion mark and by what margin. Kylian Mbappe might have moved for free to Real Madrid this season but still his value remains one of the highest in the world. 

2) Spain- €1.30 Billion

The answer is only and only Lamine Yamal, the highest market value is allotted to the 17 year old as he is one of the best players in the world and at only 17 years. His trajectory could be something like never seen before, although other players contribute as well but still Yamal runs the Spanish show. Rodri’s exclusion plays a big part why they are not in the first place, if the defensive midfielder was fit he might have leaped the La Rojas to the first place. 

1) England- €1.41 Billion

The likes of Jude Bellingham, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Declan Rice, Phil Foden, Harry Kane makes a huge impact here as all these players have a transfer market value that is sky high and also the availability of talent all across the field makes them highest assembled International squad. Although they have had hard luck in terms of trophies, they will be looking at the World Cup 2026 to bring it back home.
