The role of a goalkeeper in modern football has evolved dramatically. No longer just shot-stoppers, today’s top keepers are also sweeper-keepers, playmakers, and leaders from the back. Their value reflects their importance — and in 2025, a select few have reached elite market valuations.
According to the latest market data, here are the 10 most valuable goalkeepers in the world right now, based on current estimated transfer market value in euros (€):
1. Gianluigi Donnarumma – PSG (€40m)
The Italian remains one of the most talented goalkeepers in the world. With his commanding presence, excellent reflexes, and experience despite being just 26, Donnarumma continues to be PSG’s No. 1 and a pillar for Italy. His €40m valuation reflects his long-term value at the top level.
2. David Raya – Arsenal (€40m)
Raya’s ball-playing ability and confidence under pressure have made him a key figure at Arsenal. Whether rotating with Aaron Ramsdale or taking over as the primary starter, Raya’s composure and distribution skills are highly prized in Mikel Arteta’s system.
3. Gregor Kobel – Borussia Dortmund (€40m)
The Swiss keeper has been one of Dortmund’s most consistent performers. Kobel blends shot-stopping prowess with physicality and leadership. His impressive form during Dortmund’s deep Champions League run in 2024 boosted his value significantly.
4. Diogo Costa – FC Porto (€40m)
Portugal’s first-choice keeper and one of the most exciting young shot-stoppers in Europe. Costa combines athleticism with elite ball distribution. It’s no surprise he’s consistently linked with Europe’s top clubs.
5. Guglielmo Vicario – Tottenham Hotspur (€32m)
The Italian has quickly established himself as a fan favorite at Spurs. Known for his acrobatic saves and calm presence under pressure, Vicario has been a reliable foundation in Tottenham’s rebuild.
6. Bart Verbruggen – Brighton (€30m)
A rising star from the Netherlands, Verbruggen’s move to Brighton is proving fruitful. Still only 22, his confidence, reflexes, and distribution have seen his value soar. The Premier League spotlight could take him even higher.
7. Lucas Chevalier – Lille (€30m)
Chevalier is the latest top goalkeeping prospect out of France. The 22-year-old is making waves in Ligue 1 and is already being tracked by bigger European clubs. A breakout move feels inevitable.
8. Giorgi Mamardashvili – Liverpool* (€30m)
After impressing at Valencia, Mamardashvili reportedly made a big move to Liverpool, where he’s set to compete at the highest level. Known for his giant frame and excellent reactions, the Georgian international is ready for the global stage.
9. Anatoliy Trubin – Benfica (€28m)
The Ukrainian stopper continues to shine at Benfica. Trubin’s reflexes, positioning, and consistent displays in European competitions have placed him among the continent’s most promising goalkeepers.
10. Unai Simon – Athletic Club (€28m)
Spain’s national team goalkeeper remains a steady performer in La Liga. Known for his maturity, handling, and game reading, Simón continues to be a highly reliable option both for club and country.
