Brothers worth 2,949 crore taka in one family: football's most valuable siblings

As children they played football in the same yard. Sometimes practising by kicking the ball against a wall, sometimes the younger brother battling the elder. In the football world, such stories of brothers are nothing new — from the Charlton brothers to the Neville brothers, so many siblings have enriched the game together!

But times have changed. Earlier the count was about who won how many trophies, or who played more matches for the national team. Now market value has joined that count. And hearing those market values can make many eyes widen.

Transfermarkt has ranked the top five pairs of brothers playing professional football in the world by their combined market value.

At number one are Kylian and Ethan Mbappé. Their combined market value is 212 million euros — about 2,949 crore taka in Bangladeshi currency!

Real Madrid's French star Kylian is valued at 200 million euros. By market value he is the third most expensive footballer in the world. This season he is also in superb form for Real.

His younger brother Ethan, meanwhile, plays for Lille in Ligue 1. The 19-year-old winger is valued at 12 million euros. This season he has scored 2 goals in 8 league matches.

At number two are Jude and Jobe Bellingham. Their combined market value is 200 million euros. After joining Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund in 2023 for 103 million euros, Jude Bellingham has carved out his own place in the football world.

He is a key player for both Real and England. He shone at the last World Cup too. His market value is 160 million euros. His younger brother Jobe is valued at 40 million euros. After joining Dortmund from Sunderland in 2025, he too is progressing well.

At number three are the French brothers Désiré and Guela Doué. Their combined market value is 150 million euros. Désiré is now a 120-million-euro footballer at PSG, with his team chasing a third straight Champions League title. Elder brother Guela plays for Bayer Leverkusen. The 24-year-old right-back is valued at 30 million euros.

At number four are the Georgian brothers Khvicha and Tornike Kvaratskhelia. Their combined market value is 141.5 million euros. Since joining PSG in 2024, Khvicha has become one of the most dangerous wingers in world football. His market value is 140 million euros. He recently suffered an ACL injury.

But the Kvaratskhelia family's football story does not end there. Sixteen-year-old younger brother Tornike has also begun making his own name. The teenager, who plays for Dinamo Tbilisi, is valued at 1.5 million euros. Several big European clubs are reportedly keen to sign him.

At number five are Bradley and Malcom Barcola. Their combined market value is 100 million euros. Liverpool's new winger Bradley joined Liverpool from PSG last summer in a big-money deal. He also shone for France at the World Cup. His market value is 100 million euros.

But that his elder brother Malcom Barcola is a goalkeeper may be unknown to many. The 27-year-old Malcom plays for the Moroccan club Ittihad Tanger. His market value is just 50,000 euros. In one family, a 100-million-euro winger — and a 50,000-euro goalkeeper!
