Most valuable players in Ligue 1

We take a look at the top 10 most valuable players in Ligue 1, according to Transfermarkt.

• Desire Doue (€40.00m)

Paris Saint-Germain's Desire Doue makes the list in 10th, with his market value estimated to be €40.00m.

The Frenchman made the move from Stade Rennais to PSG in the summer of 2024, viewed as an exciting prospect, acting as a dynamic box-to-box midfield player with a certain eye for goal.

• Jonathan David (€45.00m)

Jonathan David has been linked with a move away from Ligue 1 for a number of years, but the highly rated 24-year-old continues to provide his services for LOSC Lille.

He's had a second taste for UEFA Champions League football in the 2024/25 campaign, where he has impressed on the main stage, netting the only goal in a 1-0 win against Real Madrid.

• Goncalo Ramos (€50.00m)

Goncalo Ramos was signed by PSG for an estimated fee of €80m prior to the start of the 2023/24 season, following an impressive breakthrough campaign with Benfica.

He found the net 11 times in his debut campaign for the French outfit, in a season where his side would go on to lift the Ligue 1 title and the Coupe de France.

• Ousmane Dembele (€55.00m)

Ousmane Dembele's move to Barcelona in 2017 was one of the most talked about transfers in recent times, mainly due to the large transfer fee involved (€145m, including add-ons).

His stay in Barcelona was underwhelming for the majority, failing to really justify his price tag. He has since enjoyed a move to the French capital however, contributing to 12 goals in PSG's 2023/24 league wining campaign.

• Vitinha (€55.00m)

Vitinha, like Ramos, joined PSG after impressing in Portugal's top flight.

In the current market, the midfielder's €41.5m move to the French club looks a steal, especially considering his market value exceeds this fee after just two full seasons.

• Nuno Mendes (€55.00m)

Nuno Mendes joins the list, with the highly rated left-back valued at €55m.

Joining from Sporting CP, the 22-year-old's unique dribbling and excellent crossing ability suggests he has a bright future ahead of him, having already represented the Portugal national team on 33 occasions (as of 13/12/24).

• Achraf Hakimi (€60.00m)

Completing PSG's full-back partnership is the Moroccan international, Achraf Hakimi.

Despite being just 26 years old, the right-back is one of the most experienced players on the list, making over 100 appearances for PSG.

• Joao Neves (€60.00m)

The fourth and final Portuguese player to make the top 10 is PSG's marque signing of the 2024 summer transfer window, Joao Neves.

The versatile midfielder has been one of the standout players in the 2024/24 Ligue 1 campaign, adding a different dimension to the PSG midfield.

• Warren Zaire-Emery (€60.00m)

Warren Zaire-Emery became the youngest player to appear in an official match for PSG when making his debut on 6th August 2022 in a 5-0 win against Clermont.

Since his debut, his vast progression has been impossible to ignore, becoming a key member of the squad under Luis Enrique.

• Bradley Barcola (€65.00m)

Topping the list is yet another PSG player, Bradley Barcola.

The forward made the move from Lyon to PSG in 2023, bolstering Enrique's options in attack. Since the departure of Kylian Mbappe however, Barcola has been relied upon to be one of the main sources of goals in the setup.
