Recently, the transfer website Transfermarkt announced the market value of players competing in La Liga. Barcelona's Lamine Yamal topped the list for €200 million. This is not only the highest number in La Liga, but also the highest in the world.
Notably, Yamal is only 17 years old and will turn 18 on July 13. According to statistics from CIES Football Observatory, Yamal also leads the list of most expensive players in the world, at 438.5 million USD (about 385 million euros), much higher than other stars such as Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.
With what he has shown, Barcelona will keep this talent until 2031. Last year, Yamal and the Spanish team won EURO 2024.
This year, he has scored 18 goals and 25 assists in 55 matches in all competitions, helping Barcelona win La Liga and the King's Cup.
In the Champions League, despite stopping in the semi-finals, Yamal had an impressive performance, helping his market value increase by 11.1% compared to last year. The star is currently the only player worth €200 million at LaLiga.
In addition to Yamal, Barca players have also been rewarded this season, notably Pedri (increased by 20 million euros to 140 million euros), Raphinha (increased by 10 million euros to 90 million euros) and Pau Cubarsi (increased by 10 million euros to 80 million euros).
The market value of the Transfermarkt page is calculated with different pricing models. Experts discuss and evaluate the value of the player market in detail, but the price given does not mean that the transfer fee will be equivalent.
