According to their considered calculations, Werner should really be changing clubs for a fee of around £80.4m considering numerous factors, including his age and talents.

CIES have revealed this in their biannual transfer value list, and they claim the Germany star is the joint-30th most valuable player around, level with Inter Milan’s Romelu Lukaku.

The latest list also shows a changing of the guard with living legend Cristiano Ronaldo now down in 70th with a possible fee of €62.8m (£55.91m), while Lionel Messi places 22nd rated at €100.1m/£89.12m.
