Where Moussa Dembele ranks in list of most valuable potential transfers

With several leagues still to complete their seasons, the transfer window is set to take a backseat this summer.

But that doesn't mean there will be no wheeling and dealing done over these next few months.

The future of Moussa Dembele has been a hot topic for months, with several interested parties considering moves for the striker.

Manchester United and Chelsea have been named among the frontrunners - although it now appears the Blues are set to move for RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner.

Celtic will also be watching on intently to see if Dembele seals a big money transfer to the Premier League or elsewhere.

The Parkhead club inserted a sell-on clause into the Frenchman's contract when he departed for Lyon in 2018.

But how much are potential suitors looking at forking out?

In a society being shaped entirely by the coronavirus pandemic, even the mega-rich upper echelons of football have been unable to evade its menace.

And that will likely be reflected in transfer fees paid this summer.

Analysts at the CIES Football Observatory have compiled a biannual list of the most valuable players in Europe's "big five" divisions - England, Germany, France, Spain and Italy.

Kylian Mbappe is named at number one, valued at €259million.

Dembele won't command that kind of fee but he's still ranked inside the top 100 at number 82.

CIES estimate his current worth is around €54.2million, which would make him the sixth most valuable in Ligue 1.

Other notable entries include Scotland captain Andy Robertson at 29th place with a staggering value of €94.2m.

He's just five spots behind Liverpool team-mate and former Celtic star Virgil van Dijk in 24th, valued at €98.5m.
