Lamine Yamal, Barcelona's young talent, is the most valuable player in the world, according to a list compiled by "Football Benchmark”, with a market value of 286,8 million euros, reports "Gazeta Express".
This statistic makes him the most valuable player currently in global football – an incredible record for a footballer who is only 18 years old.
In second place is French star Kylian Mbappé, who is valued at 232,2 million euros, although his age (27 years old) and the fact that he joined Real Madrid with zero parameters make an expensive transfer less likely in the short term.
To the surprise of many fans, the Top 10 does not include French striker Ousmane Dembélé, who also won the 2025 Ballon d'Or, but is not part of the list of the highest market values at the moment.
Top 10 most valuable players in the world:
Yamal's value is extraordinary and reflects the combination of exceptional talent, rapid development and the important role he plays in the team - being an undisputed starter in the Spanish national team even at a very young age.
Meanwhile, names like Dembélé – who despite his trophies and success – fail to enter this classification of market values, is a fact that shows that the fight to be the "most valuable players" is fiercer than ever in modern football. /Express newspaper
