Have We Passed Peak Mbappé? And The Stars That Need a World Cup Comeback

With the 2026 World Cup days away, Stefan and Manu open by running through Transfermarkt's list of the biggest market value losers who need a strong summer — from Darwin Núñez (dropped to €20m after being offloaded by Al-Hilal) and Mohamed Salah, through Gavi, Nico Williams, and Vinicius Jr., up to the German duo of Wirtz and Musiala (both down to €100m), England's Saka and Bellingham (down €40m and €50m respectively), and Ballon d'Or winner Rodri at the top of the list — returning from an ACL tear and likely heading to Real Madrid.La Liga | Stefan sits down with Ewan Robertson to discuss Mbappé's €20m market value drop to €180m. Despite 42 goals and 7 assists, Real Madrid's dysfunction has taken its toll. They debate whether peak Mbappé is behind him, how Mourinho can possibly make that squad work, and whether Mbappé can silence the doubters with France — just 4 goals away from breaking Klose's all-time World Cup scoring record.Belgian Pro League | Bart joins to discuss Christos Tzolis, whose €10m rise to €40m makes him the most valuable player in Belgian top-flight history. The Greek winger had a stunning season at Club Brugge (22 goals, 29 assists in 52 games) and is attracting interest from Arsenal, Man United, Atlético, and more — with Club Brugge holding firm on their asking price.Serie A | Manu and Mario Sojke cover the key stories: Nico Paz rising to €80m at Como (with Real Madrid holding a buyback clause for as little as €9–11m), Kenan Yildiz stalling as Juventus miss the Champions League, Rasmus Højlund's brilliant redemption arc at Napoli (up to €60m), and Ederson looking set to join Man United from Atalanta for around €45m.Full market value updates and World Cup coverage at transfermarkt.com Chapters00:00 What's on this week's episode of Market Values?01:06 World Cup Excitement and Travel Plans03:00 The 15 players that NEED to have a good World Cup24:34 New market values in LaLiga25:51 Kylian Mbappe loses €20m in market value30:33 Has Mbappe worked at Real Madrid? 33:18 Can Mourinho fix Real Madrid's Mbappe problem?38:20 Can Mbappe bounce back at the World Cup?42:27 Christos Tzolis becomes Belgian football's historic MVP45:56 How good has Tzolis been this season?49:56 Does Tzolis have a point to prove in the Premier League?53:46 Who will sign Tzolis in the summer?59:52 Serie A Market Values01:01:02 Nico Paz becomes 2nd biggest MVP in Serie A01:06:45 Kenan Yildiz - stuck in limbo?01:10:43 Rasmus Hojlund: Redemption Story in Serie A01:14:45 Ederson: Man Utd's €45m star
