Lautaro Martinez is the most highly-valued player in Serie A.

The Inter striker has emerged as one of the game's new stars due to his time in Italy and played a crucial part in the club's Scudetto win last season. He has been tipped for a big-money move to the Premier League, with Barcelona and Real Madrid also linked with the Argentine in the past.

He is valued at €92.1m.

FootballTransfers' transfer valuations are calculated in collaboration with SciSports, a world-leading football analytics agency that assesses the relative transfer valuations of over 60,000 professional footballers worldwide. SciSports use multiple data points including current and potential ability, contract length, form, age, and other crucial factors.

REVEALED: The world's most valuable footballers

The second most valuable footballer currently plying their trade in Serie A is Juventus' Matthijs de Ligt.

Following a stellar few seasons with Ajax, the Dutch defender earned a massive €75 million transfer to Juventus in the summer of 2019.

De Ligt's profile, age and the fact he has already moved for such a high sum are all major contributing factors to his high value in Serie A.

He is valued at €76.8m, so very close to what Juventus paid for him a couple of years ago.

In third is Nicolo Barella, valued at €64.5m. The young midfielder has become a key player both for Inter and the Italy national side, with him playing a key role in the nation's Euro 2020 triumph.

Two Milan players in a row make up the top five, with Alexis Saelemaekers and Franck Kessie valued at €52m and €49.9m respectively. Unfortunately for Milan, they will likely lose Kessie for free this summer when his contract expires.

We go back to Inter for number six, with Alessandro Bastoni valued at €45.6m. He is considered by many to be a future captain of the Nerazzurri.

Juventus now have three players in a row making up entries seven, eight and nine. Federico Chiesa's injury issues have seen his value drop slightly but still has a healthy number of €43.1, while new Manuel Locatell is valued at €42.8m

Dusan Vlahovic may have been a €75m January transfer window signing, but we value the Serbian at €42.2m. Expect that value to soar pretty soon, however.

Rounding out the top 10 is Roma's English striker Tammy Abraham (€41.2m)
