Lamine Yamal makes history at 17

Lamine Yamal, winger for Barcelona, has made history as the first Spanish player to reach a €200 million market value, according to Transfermarkt. Just two years into his professional career, his value has surged by €175 million, solidifying his place as one of the brightest talents in world football.

His rise is unstoppable: in recent months alone, his valuation increased by €20 million, placing him ahead of stars like Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland. At just 17 years old, he is now the most valuable player not only in LaLiga but in all of football.

Mbappé recovers value, while Vinícius and Haaland decline

French forward Kylian Mbappé, now with Real Madrid, has regained market value, reaching €180 million thanks to his goal-scoring record and Golden Boot award. On the other hand, his teammate Vinícius Junior suffered the biggest drop of his career, losing €30 million after an inconsistent season and falling to €170 million.

Other notable market risers in LaLiga include Pedri (valued at €140 million), Jesús Rodríguez from Betis (€30M), Antony (€35M), and Ferran Torres (€40M). Additionally, Julián Álvarez of Atlético de Madrid, Raphinha of Barcelona, Pau Cubarsí, and Raúl Asencio of Real Madrid all saw €10 million boosts.

These figures highlight how young talent continues to be the most valuable asset for top clubs in Spanish football.
