As Newspaper: The New Galactic Ship Shines with Seven Stars – Only 18 Players in Football Valued at Over 100M, Seven of Them at Real Madrid

The front page of the Spanish newspaper AS bears the headline “Real Madrid’s 100M Men,” pointing out that there are only 18 players in football today whose valuations exceed 100 million euros, and seven of them play for Real Madrid. This is what they refer to as the “new version of the Galactic Ship.”

The report highlights: Mbappé has arrived at Real Madrid, but he is not the only superstar on the Bernabéu’s galactic ship. Ancelotti has a star-studded squad at his disposal, and his task is to integrate Mbappé quickly into the formula for success in the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga, and the Champions League. Apart from Mbappé, whose valuation reaches 180 million euros, Vinicius Jr., Bellingham, Valverde, Rodrygo, Camavinga, and Tchouaméni (valuations provided by Transfermarkt) all have valuations exceeding 100 million euros. The existence of these seven players attests to the quality of Real Madrid’s squad.

The peak valuation in contemporary football is shared by four individuals: Mbappé, Vinicius Jr., Bellingham, and Haaland, each valued at 180 million euros. Aside from the Manchester City player, the other three are Real Madrid players. These three players are young but experienced and versatile; the Frenchman, Brazilian, and Englishman will become the sharp teeth of Real Madrid. Together, they scored 91 goals (44, 24, 23) and provided 34 assists (10, 11, 13) over the past year.

Additionally, within Real Madrid, Valverde (120 million), Rodrygo (110 million), Camavinga, and Tchouaméni (100 million) contribute to the “Dreamy Seven,” and it is remarkable that they represent not just Real Madrid’s present but also its future, as their average age is… 23.3 years old!

In contemporary football, only 18 players have valuations reaching above 100 million euros, and Real Madrid alone claims seven of them. The other 11 are Foden, Rodrigo, Haaland, Saka, Rice, Ødegaard, Musiala, Kane, Wirtz, Lautaro, and Osimhen.

AS emphasizes that Real Madrid’s ability to assemble this “Dreamy Seven” is due to the club’s clear strategy – rather than rushing, they follow a set plan. For example, when Benzema moved to the Arab region, Ancelotti wanted to sign Kane, but Real Madrid chose a different path, signing Bellingham while also making room for Mbappé’s subsequent arrival, ultimately reaping great rewards.

In the future, Endrick will soon make his debut at Real Madrid (turning 18 on the 21st), who is the second-highest-valued “U18 minor” on the planet (behind Yamal). Real Madrid also attempted to sign Jorrou this summer, signaling that they will continue to play according to the same score.
