Revealed: England have the most valuable squad at Euro 2024 – with Gareth Southgate’s men worth an estimated £1.2bn – more than Germany and Belgium COMBINED’

England have been ranked as the most valuable team at this summer’s European Championships.

Gareth Southgate’s side suffered a demoralizing setback in their quest for their first major honor in more than half a century when they were defeated by Iceland in their final warm-up on Friday.

However, despite patchy form of late, the group represents one of the most talented groups ever seen in an England squad and the statistics seem to bear this out.

With the likes of Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka at his disposal, Southgate has a group of players with a higher collective value than both defending champions Italy and pre-tournament favorites France.

Across their 26-man squad, England are estimated to have a total worth of over £1.2 billion.

Real Madrid star Bellingham is actually the most highly rated player to play at the tournament, an honor he shared with France captain Kylian Mbappe.

France are two-time winners of the competition and sit second in the squad value chart, with the likes of Real Madrid duo Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga and Arsenal defender William Saliba alongside Mbappe as their highest-rated stars.

In third place is Portugal in Group F, with AC Milan star Rafael Leao leading in market value, closely followed by Premier League trio Ruben Dias, Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva.

Despite once holding the title of Europe’s most valuable player, five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo has an estimated market value of just £12.75 million, the same amount Manchester United paid to sign him from Sporting Lisbon in 2003 .

The top five is completed by 2012 winners Spain and hosts Germany, with Rodri and Florian Wirtz as their highest-rated talents respectively.

Scotland, meanwhile, have an estimated total squad value of just £176 million, putting them 17th out of the 24 teams in the competition.

The most highly rated player in Steve Clarke’s squad is Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay, followed closely by John McGinn and Andy Robertson.

Meanwhile, the lowest rated team according to the estimates is Group E underdogs Romania.

Despite qualifying for the tournament without suffering a single defeat, the Tricolorii have an estimated value of just £78 million, less than four English players.
