Group E’s top selection for the 2026 World Cup is Germany, who will battle for qualification alongside Ecuador, Ivory Coast, and Curaçao. Unsurprisingly, Die Mannschaft boasts the highest-valued squad in this group, but there are still a few surprises in store.

A trio consisting of two Germans and one Ecuadorian shares the top spot. Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz are matched in market value by Chelsea's midfield maestro, Moisés Caicedo, according to Transfermarkt.

Just behind this €100 million trio are Bayern’s Aleksandar Pavlović and RB Leipzig’s Ivorian sensation, Yan Diomande, each valued at €90 million.

Parisian Willian Pacho takes sixth place with a valuation of €80 million, while the German contingent—Karl, Havertz, Schlotterbeck, and Woltemade—round out the Top 10.

The most expensive player from Curaçao, who are making their tournament debut, is PSV Eindhoven defender Armando Obispo. He sits only 60th in the overall ranking with a modest value of €4 million.
