10. Radamel Falcao | Monaco
Highest market value: £53m (date of valuation – Jan 10, 2013)
Current market value: £53m
Position: Striker
He moved to Monaco six months later for similar fee, but Falcao was at his most valuable during the previous January transfer window.
At that stage he seemed to have every top European club chasing him – including Chelsea and Manchester City.


9. Wayne Rooney | Manchester United
Highest market value: £57m (d.o.v – Feb 6, 2012)
Current market value: £39.5m
Position: Forward
Rooney was at his most valuable when he was Manchester United’s sole striker – pre-RVP – and at the perfect age in terms of quality and sell-on potential, around 26-years-old.
He was also mid-way through one of his most prolific campaigns – he hit 27 in 34 Premier League appearances during the 2011-12 season.


8. Xavi Hernandez | Barcelona
Highest market value: £57m (d.o.v – July 1 2010)
