Barcelona's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal is now the most valuable player in world football, topping Transfermarkt's rankings with a staggering market value of €200 million.
Lamine Yamal has officially reached the summit of global football valuation. According to the latest Transfermarkt update, the Barcelona and Spain starlet is now the sole player in the world with a market value of €200 million.
This significant milestone sees the 17-year-old forward leapfrog names like Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, and Jude Bellingham in the rankings. Haaland, who previously matched the €200 million mark, has seen his value drop by €20 million following a quieter season by his standards.
Mbappe and Bellingham now trail just behind Yamal, while Vinicius Junior falls to fifth place after a slight drop to €170 million. Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka is ranked sixth with €150 million, and Pedri moves into seventh after a value increase to €140 million, where he is joined by Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala.
Federico Valverde rounds out the top ten with an estimated value of €130 million, cementing Real Madrid's strong presence in the elite group of the world’s most valuable players.
In total, there are now 18 players across Europe's top leagues whose estimated market value exceeds €100 million, reflecting a trend of rising youth dominance and club investment in long-term talent.
