Following our serie of episodes on Transfermarkt's debate discussing what would Milan Legends be worth in the current transfer market, and after analysing the market value of defender Paolo Maldini and midfielder Ricardo Izecson "Kaka", today we will be heading into the final third.
Therefore, who's better to start with than AC Milan & Dutch national team legend, Marco Van Basten: Triple Ballon D'or winner, without even getting the chance to play at his early 30's as he unfortunately had to make an end to his career due to a serious injury.
However, the German website have chosen the 24-year-old Van Basten in the 1988/1989 season as the evaluation point for the Geese from Utrecht. The campaign in which he was crowned as the best player in the world after scoring 2 goals in the European Cup final against Steaua Bucarest helping his club AC Milan to reach competition glory.
As a result, Van Basten surpassed both Maldini and Kaka in terms of market values. If the latter two were valued at least above 100 million euros by everyone, the Dutch hasn't been priced for less than €180M by anyone, with a stunning average being set at €195M.
For more context, PSG's Kylian Mbappé is the most valued striker in today's market with €180M, followed by €128M-rated teammate Neymar Jr, while Tottenham's Harry Kane remains as the frontrunner when it comes to pure Center-Forwards with €120M.
