Top 10 Bundesliga Stars by Market Value: Wirtz & Musiala Lead at €140M, Bayern & Leverkusen Dominate
The €140M Duo: Germany’s New Crown Jewels
Crunching the latest Transfermarkt data reveals a historic tie: Florian Wirtz (Leverkusen) and Jamal Musiala (Bayern) both command €140M valuations—the highest ever for Bundesliga talents. My “Storm Index” algorithm flags their rare combination:
- Wirtz: 3.7 key passes/game (95th percentile) with Messi-esque close control
- Musiala: 6.2 successful dribbles/90 (top 1% in Europe) fused with German efficiency
The Veteran Anchor
At 31, Harry Kane’s €90M valuation (-€10M YoY) still leads all strikers. His xG of 0.97⁄90 outperforms Lewandowski’s peak Bayern seasons—proof that age is just a number when you’re clinical.
Rising Stars Reshaping the League
Three trends caught my algorithm’s attention:
- Youth Movement: 7 of 10 are ≤25 years old
- Positional Evolution: Wing-backs like Frimpong (10 assists) now rival forwards in value
- Market Volatility: Olise (+€15M) and Šeško (+€15M) saw biggest gains
Fun fact: Leverkusen’s trio (Wirtz/Frimpong/Hincapié) combined value equals Bayern’s entire backline.
Dark Horse Alert
Watch Xavi Simons—his 9.34 expected assists lead the league despite being on loan. My model predicts another €20M spike if Leipzig activates his buy clause.

データが証明した「怪物」の価値
Transfermarkt史上最高額タイの1億4000万ユーロ！ヴィルツ（薬剤師）とムシアル（バイエルン）が示す「新世代の方程式」：
- ヴィルツ：メッシ級のボールコントロール＋毎試合3.7キーパス
- ムシアル：欧州TOP1%のドリブル成功率6.2回
面白い事実： レバークーゼン3人（ヴィルツ/フリムポン/ヒンカピエ）の合計価値＝バイエルン防衛ライン全体
31歳ケインは「老害」ではない
xG0.97/90分でレワンドフスキーのバイエルン時代を上回る - データは年齢より精度を愛する。
※ライプツィヒのシモンズは買取条項発動でさらに+2000万ユーロ予測（私のStorm Indexアルゴリズム談）
この価格、納得？それとも暴騰？🤔 #ブンデスリーガ経済学
€140M Duo? More Like €280M Delusion
Wirtz and Musiala both hitting €140M? That’s not just value — that’s a Bundesliga-level tax evasion scheme.
Kane at 31: Still Clutching the Trophy
Harry Kane’s still worth more than half the league’s strikers. At 31? Age is just a number… unless you’re paying the rent.
Young Guns & Dribble Gods
7 of the top 10 are under 25 — Germany’s youth movement isn’t coming. It’s already here. And Frimpong with 10 assists? Wing-backs now out-value forwards. That’s not evolution — that’s rebellion.
Simons: The Loaner Who Won’t Quit
Xavi Simons with 9.34 xA? If Leipzig activates his buy clause, he’ll be worth more than my student loans.
