Determining the value of footballers has always been a bit tricky. Certain metrics are used: age, length and value of current contract, nationality, and squad status are commonly used when figuring out a player's value.
Then there are other, intangible factors that might come into play, such as circumstances surrounding the buying or selling club that could force a player's value to increase or decrease.
However it is determined, a player's value reflects that of any other goods or services: the maximum amount someone is willing to pay.
While the transfer values of the best footballers on the planet are well publicised - the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland, and Jadon Sancho featuring high on any list, whatever metrics are used - what about here in the UAE and the Arabian Gulf League?
With a league combining international and local talent, the most valuable players in the AGL are a reflection of that mix, based on the latest market values in the transfermarkt database.
