Five most valuable 30 plus footballers

As
players
usually
reach
their
final
years
as
a
professional,
their
market
values
quite
naturally
go
down.
However,
throughout
the
history
of
football,
we
have
seen
some
footballers
defying
age
on
a
weekly
basis
and
quite
naturally,
many
of
them
still
manage
to
retain
a
solid
value
for
their
age.

Here,
we
look
at
five
of
the
most
valuable
players
aged
30
years
and
older.

5.
Robert
Lewandowski
(Age
33),
Value
–
€50
million

One
of
the
best
strikers
in
the
modern
era
of
football,
Lewandowski
continues
to
impress
on
a
weekly
basis
in
Bayern
Munich
colours
and
is
arguably
getting
even
better
with
age.
The
Polish
superstar
has
325
goals
for
Bayern
till
date
in
355
games
after
scoring
more
than
a
century
for
Borussia
Dortmund
as
well.
Aged
33
now,
Lewandowski
is
showing
no
signs
of
slowing
down.

4.
N’Golo
Kante
(Age
30),
Value
–
€50
million

N’Golo
Kante
is
one
of
those
players
who
is
widely
appreciated
and
liked
by
almost
everyone.
The
Frenchman
has
been
an
epitome
of
stamina
and
work
rate
in
the
middle
of
the
park
and
is
a
key
player
for
both
Chelsea
and
France.

3.
Virgil
van
Dijk
(Age
30),
Value
–
€55
million

Widely
regarded
as
the
best
defender
of
the
game
in
recent
years,
Virgil
van
Dijk’s
impact
at
Liverpool
has
been
pretty
evident.
He
has
been
the
biggest
factor
behind
the
Reds’ resurgence
in
recent
years
under
Jurgen
Klopp
and
the
Dutchman
continues
to
impress
having
come
back
from
a
huge
injury
setback
he
suffered
last
season.

2.
Lionel
Messi
(Age
34),
Value
–
€60
million

Arguably
the
greatest
footballer
to
have
ever
graced
the
game,
Lionel
Messi
is
34
years
of
age
right
now
and
still
remains
one
of
the
most
dangerous
players
on
the
planet.
The
Argentine
has
not
quite
managed
to
live
up
to
the
expectations
yet
at
PSG
one
should
not
be
surprised
to
see
him
getting
back
to
his
usual
best
once
again.

1.
Kevin
De
Bruyne
(Age
30),
Value
–
€90
million

It
is
needless
to
say
that
in
terms
of
pure
talent,
there
is
no
midfielder
in
the
world
better
than
De
Bruyne
at
the
moment
but
the
Belgian
superstar
has
not
been
able
to
enjoy
his
game
in
recent
times
owing
to
persistent
injury
problems.
However,
every
time
he
is
on
the
pitch,
the
Belgian
just
oozes
class.
