Newcastle United currently have a 23-year-old player worth the same as Mohamed Salah.
Sandro Tonali of Newcastle United is worth the same as Mohamed Salah of Liverpool.
The latest values of the world’s best talents have been revealed in a report by the CIES Football Observatory.
With a valuation of £215 million, two companies presently share the top slot.
Erling Haaland of Manchester City and Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid outperform Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.
Given the statistics swirling around this summer, it’s no wonder that many players’ valuations have risen past £100 million.
Newcastle’s participation in the Champions League this season will only serve to demonstrate that their talents can compete with the best.

According to the claim, Newcastle’s newest signing, Sandro Tonali, is valued the same as Mohamed Salah.
Given the numbers now floating around regarding the Egyptian, this may be music to Eddie Howe’s ears.
At the close of the transfer window, Liverpool reportedly turned down a £150 million bid for the 31-year-old.
In actuality, Al-Ittihad of Saudi Arabia may have overpaid for the Egyptian forward.
Tonali, a Newcastle player, is worth the same as Salah.
According to the report, Sandro Tonali and attacker Alexander Isak are both valued £51.5 million.
This means that Newcastle overpaid for Isak a year ago when they paid a club record £63 million for him.
According to Sky Sports, Tonali cost Newcastle £55 million, which is roughly what the CIES believes he is worth.
What’s more, Tonali’s worth has surpassed that of Mohamed Salah since joining Newcastle.
The forward is and has been one of the top players in the Premier League for some time.
Tonali and Salah’s appraisals may be the same due to their age gap.

Newcastle paid for Tonali due to his current ability but also his potential to get better in the future. It’s unlikely Salah is going to continue getting better but his value to Liverpool right now is still enormous. The Italian has done well so far during his short stint in the Premier League and has impressed his teammates in training. Now, he just has to use that talent to help get Newcastle’s season back on track.
