Yamal's grip on top spot follows a standout opening to the campaign for both Barcelona and Spain.

The 19-year-old had already racked up eight goals and six assists across eight matches for Barça, before chipping in with another four goals and an assist in three outings for the Spanish national team.

Lamine Yamal has the highest market value

The newest numbers from Transfermarkt underline just how steeply Yamal is rated, young as he is. His €220m price tag still stands as the highest anywhere in world football, with Haaland the sole player keeping pace with him.

For someone who is still only 19, the Barcelona forward has already assembled a remarkable haul of silverware, having lifted both the World Cup and the European Championship.

His performances have likewise bolstered his candidacy for the Ballon d'Or, and Transfermarkt's valuation mirrors the standing he has now carved out in the game.

Among those chasing the leading trio, Michael Olise made the biggest jump, climbing from €170m to €180m. Jude Bellingham holds firm at €160m, while Barcelona midfielder Pedri occupies sixth place on €150m.
