Lamine Yamal and Erling Haaland are jointly the world’s most valuable footballers, while Vinicius Junior has fallen to 10th in the latest market-value rankings published by Transfermarkt.
The Barcelona forward and Manchester City striker are each valued at €220m, placing them ahead of Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe, who is ranked third at €200m.
Michael Olise has moved up to fourth after his value increased by €10m to €180m. The Bayern Munich winger is the highest climber among the leading players, while Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham is fifth with a valuation of €160m.
Barcelona midfielder Pedri is sixth at €150m. Paris Saint-Germain have three players in the top 10, with Joao Neves, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Vitinha each valued at €140m.
Vinicius’ valuation has dropped by €10m to €130m, leaving him 10th in the list. The Real Madrid winger had previously been valued at €200m between 2024 and 2025.
Olise’s rise
Olise’s latest increase represents a significant rise over the past year. His market value stood at €130m in October 2025, meaning it has grown by €50m since then.
The France international’s improvement follows a season in which he won the German league’s player of the year award. He also broke Pele’s record for the most assists in a single edition of the World Cup, registering seven.
Olise is among the nominees for the Ballon d’Or, which will be awarded in London on 26 October.
