Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe follows in third place at €200m, leaving him €20m behind the leading pair.
Despite being the bookmakers’ favourite to win the Ballon d’Or, Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane is only 21st in the market-value rankings, with an estimated value of €60m. His position provides a striking contrast between his standing in the race for the individual award and his valuation compared with the other nominees.
At the opposite end of the list, Sadio Mane ranks 30th and last, with a market value of just €6m.
That leaves the former Liverpool forward valued at a fraction of the top-ranked players, with a €214m gap between him and Haaland and Yamal.
