There was a time when a footballer being born in the 2000s looked really weird.

But with the year now 2020, the contingent of millennial players is growing ever stronger and there are even some in the group that can lay claim to being some of the best in the world.

That fact is mirrored by some of the jaw-dropping valuations handed to the crop of youngsters that are still either in their teenage years or just hitting their 20s.

Two millennial players can now boast a valuation of over €100m, which is quite astounding - even in the modern money-crazed era of football.

Thanks to the CIES Observatory, we can provide the 50 most valuable players born after the year 2000 and the top two will all but certainly command fees similar to or more than their current valuation!
