Ronaldo's value has dropped in the Portuguese national team.

Cristiano Ronaldo remains the biggest icon of Portuguese football, but at the 2026 World Cup, the 41-year-old superstar will no longer be among the team's most valuable players.

According to the latest data from Transfermarkt , Ronaldo is now valued at only around 12 million euros, dropping him out of the top 20 most expensive players in the Portuguese national team participating in this World Cup. This is a significant change compared to his peak, when CR7 was among the world's most valuable players for many years.

Despite his market value declining significantly with age, Ronaldo remains a crucial player in Roberto Martinez's squad thanks to his experience, goal-scoring ability, and influence in the dressing room. The 2026 World Cup could also be considered the final World Cup in the legendary career of the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star.

Meanwhile, the most valuable players in the current Portuguese national team belong to PSG. Midfield duo Vitinha and Joao Neves are both valued at €110 million, making them the two most expensive players in the team. This pair has impressed greatly with their ball control, ability to dictate the tempo of the game, and consistent performances for PSG over the past period.

Right behind him is Nuno Mendes with a valuation of 75 million euros. The 23-year-old left-back is considered one of the most promising players in Europe in his position thanks to his speed, attacking contributions, and impressive physical fitness.

The fact that the top three positions are all occupied by PSG players shows the significant influence of the French club on the current Portuguese national team. This is also the generation expected to take over Ronaldo's leadership role in the future.
