England, the most expensive representative in the world: Albania is worth "half" of Bellingham

On paper, they are the top seed in Group K of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. On the field, they have been confirmed as one of the best teams on the continent and in the world. While in terms of finances, they are the most expensive team in the world.

England's value in the transfer market is estimated at over 1.3 billion euros. Meanwhile, according to the specialized website "transfermarket", Albania's value is only 100 million euros.

The most expensive English player is Jude Bellingham. The Real Madrid star costs 180 million euros. Like the midfielder, more valuable than the entire red and black national team are also players like Phil Fowden, Cole Palmer, who is injured and will not play, as well as Declan Rice.

Team captain Harry Kane, who is shining at Bayern Munich, costs 90 million euros.

In Albania, the most valuable footballer is Kristjan Asllani, with 18 million euros.

The Inter midfielder is followed by Broja with 15 million euros, Muçi with 12, Gjimshiti with 8 and Ismajli with 6 million.

The difference on paper is huge, but football is not just about numbers. The beauty of this sport is above all the element of surprise, the fact that in the face of names on the jersey or market value, heart, team play and the desire to get results often prevail on the field. On March 21 at Wembley, everyone believes in the big surprise.
