1 Jude and Jobe Bellingham
Combined market value: £159.96 million
Real Madrid and England star Jude Bellingham has thrived in the spotlight since moving from Germany to Spain and is, behind Erling Haaland, the second-most valuable footballer in the world at £149.96 million. Stourbridge-born, what he can go on to achieve is scary – as is his rise to the top of the game.

Why Jobe Bellingham Doesn’t Have Surname on Back of His Shirt
The Sunderland man made the bold decision to remove the famous Bellingham name from his shirt.
Poised to follow in the footsteps of his brother, the Sunderland star and one of the Championship’s poster boys is his younger brother: Jobe Bellingham. The young midfielder is a mainstay at his current employers, despite his tender age of 19, and is valued at 10 million. That price, however, could rise exponentially in years to come.

2 Kylian and Ethan Mbappe
Combined market value: £151.63 million
After one of football’s longest ever transfer sagas was wrapped up in the summer with Kylian Mbappe finally putting pen to paper on a switch to Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain, the talismanic Frenchman – widely considered as one of the best footballers in the world – is valued at a monstrous £149.96 million.
His brother, Ethan, also switched clubs in the summer. Albeit less documented, there is still a plethora of excitement surrounding the Montreuil-born ace, who plays in the engine room. Still just 17 years of age, he has endured his injury struggles since moving to LOSC Lille but has played 80 minutes of action thus far.

3 Theo and Lucas Hernandez
Combined market value: £83.31 million
Both Theo and Lucas Hernandez have enjoyed glittering careers at the top of the game – but who is valued the most between the two? The former has emerged as one of the best left-backs in world football over the last couple of campaigns and, as a result, is valued around the £50 million mark.
Interestingly, the latter – who has turned out for both Bayern Munich and PSG throughout his career in top flight football, is worth less. In 2024/25 alone, the £33.32 million-worth defender is yet to play thanks to a cruciate ligament tear but is expected to return to action at the turn of the year, ready and raring to go in the French capital.

4 Marcus and Khephren Thuram
Combined market value: £83.31 million
Inter Milan marksman Marcus Thuram has taken Italian football – and in particular, the summit of Serie A – by storm since joining from Borussia Monchengladbach in the summer of 2023. In 2024/25 alone, the 26-cap France international has plundered seven goals in as many games, forming a threatening partnership with Lautaro Martinez.

Erling Haaland and Harry Kane are the two main favourites to win the European Golden Shoe.
His brother, 22-year-old Khephren Thuram, joined Juventus in a career-defining move in the summer just gone after being chased by Premier League juggernauts Manchester United and Liverpool. The central midfielder’s start to life in Turin hasn’t gone swimmingly with him on the periphery of Thiago Motta’s thinking – but alas, he’s still worth £29.16 million.

5 Nico and Inaki Williams
Combined market value: £79.14 million
The only pair of brothers who currently play for the same team are Pamplona-born duo Nico and Inaki Williams of Athletic Bilbao – a club they have both represented ahead of making big-money moves to some of Europe’s elite. The latter has paved the way for the former, who is set to become one of Spain’s leading talismen in years to come after his Euro 2024 exploits.
Nico, regarded as one of the best dribblers in world football, is still just 22 years of age and currently boasts a market value of £58.31 million. Inaki, eight years his brother’s senior, is still worth £20.83 million, per Transfermarkt’s calculations, but there is every chance that he finishes his career in La Liga with his current employers.

6 Alexis and Kevin Mac Allister
Combined market value: £67.48 million
Alexis Mac Allister’s £35 million-worth move to Liverpool is, by the day, looking ever so close to being one of the bargains of recent windows given how pivotal he has become for the Reds – alongside the likes of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk. So much so that he is currently valued at 62.48 million, but if a club were interested, it would cost much more.
The 2022 World Cup winner went toe to toe with his brother Kevin Mac Allister in his side’s 2023/24 Europa League campaign and came out victorious – with their respective careers reaching different heights. Kevin, who is a regular for Belgian’s top tier outfit Union Saint-Gilloise, is valued at £5 million if any teams decide to take a punt on his services based on his younger brother’s exploits.

7 Luis and Jesus Diaz
Combined market value: £66.77 million
Liverpool and Colombia star Luis Diaz has begun the 2024/25 Premier League campaign like no other – notching five goals and the solitary assist in the Reds’ opening seven games, helping them to a spot at the top of the table. A feared winger in England’s top division, the 27-year-old has a market value of £66.64 million.

The Premier League is filled with talent, but the incredible depth on the wings is phenomenal.
Jesus Diaz, who is Luis’ younger brother, plays in his native Colombia for second tier outfit Barranquilla FC and, expectedly, his value is dwarfed by his siblings. Relatively unknown, the winger – who has failed to contribute to a goal in six outings this term – is worth a paltry £124,960.

8 Jurrien and Quinten Timber
Combined market value: £60.82 million
As the first twins on the list, Jurrien and Quinten Timber are two of the most exciting prospects in Europe. The former got his big break in the summer of 2023, transferring to a title-chasing Arsenal before tearing his ACL on his debut, while the latter is quickly becoming a fan favourite for Eredivisie outfit Feyenoord.
Arsenal ace Timber – valued at £31.66 million – looks set to become one of the best full-backs in the league, permitting he remains fit. Quinten, a four-cap Netherlands international, is worth slightly less than his brother – £29.16 million – but has plenty of time to increase his value in the coming seasons.

9 Rasmus and Oscar Hojlund
Combined market value: £55.82 million
A divisive figure among Manchester United fans, Rasmus Hojlund has endured his fair share of struggles at Old Trafford since joining from Atalanta. The Dane has notched 17 goals and a further two assists in his 48-game career for his current employers and is still valued highly at £54.15 million.

The 19-year-old central midfielder, who has plenty of years left in the tank, is currently struggling for game time in Germany but, on talent alone, is worth £1.67 million – a figure which could rise in the next few years.

10 Leroy and Sidi Sane
Combined market value: £50.28 million
Leroy Sane, a two-time Premier League winner with Manchester City, is a man who needs no introduction. Currently valued at just shy of £50 million – £49.98m, to be precise – the German winger is now in the Bundesliga plying his trade for Bayern Munich in a squad packed to the brim with talent.
His lesser-known brother, Sidi, is practically an unknown quantity in the world of football but has the chance, at such a young age, to grow. Valued at £350,000 by Transfermarkt, the 21-year-old is also a winger – much like Leroy – and earns his corn for Bundesliga 2 side Braunschweig after signing on a free from Schalke in the summer of 2023.
