Florian Wirtz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for £116m in 2025, and he is now the fifth-most valuable player in the world.
During the early days of his Anfield career, Wirtz came in for a lot of criticism in the media.
He was not scoring or assisting in the Premier League, and Liverpool as a squad were really struggling.
However, Wirtz has improved a great deal in the last couple of months, and that is now reflected in his current valuation.

CIES FootballObservatory have put together a list of the most valuable players at each club from 67 leagues around the world.
Despite Alexander Isak costing Liverpool a British transfer record, Wirtz is actually given a higher valuation than the Swede.
He is given a ‘fair price’ of €123m-€143m, which ranks the German fifth among all players in the world.
