Lionel Messi, captain of the Argentine team and top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7), shone at the World Cup in Qatar and confirmed that he is the best player in history. At 35, he proved that age is just a number and scored seven goals and provided three assists that led Albiceleste to their third title. Now, the market value of the 'Flea' is revealed, while Kylian Mbappé costs 180 million euros.

A few days ago the World Cup in Qatar ended and the specialized portal 'Transfermarkt' released the price update for each player. The French Kylian Mbappé is the most expensive footballer.
