Lamine Yamal and Erling Haaland Lead Football’s Most Valuable Players List at €220m

According to Goal.com, published on October 8, 2026, Lamine Yamal and Erling Haaland are jointly ranked as the world’s most valuable footballers in the latest Transfermarkt market-value update.

The Barcelona forward and Manchester City striker are each valued at €220 million. Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe occupies third place with an estimated market value of €200 million.

The rankings also feature changes involving Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise and Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior.

Olise’s estimated market value has increased by €10 million to €180 million, placing him fourth in the ranking. Jude Bellingham follows at €160 million, while Barcelona midfielder Pedri is valued at €150 million.

Three Paris Saint-Germain players share a valuation of €140 million each. They are João Neves, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Vitinha.

Vinicius Junior has experienced a decrease in his estimated market value. The Brazilian forward’s valuation has fallen by €10 million to €130 million, placing him tenth among the players listed.

Despite the reduction, Vinicius remains among the ten most valuable footballers in the reported rankings.

Yamal and Haaland therefore occupy the leading positions, ahead of Mbappe and the other players included in the update.

Transfermarkt’s market values are estimates and should not be confused with actual transfer fees. A player’s eventual transfer fee can depend on contract terms, negotiations and the circumstances surrounding a potential move.

The latest figures provide a snapshot of the estimated market values of some of football’s leading players, with Olise recording an increase and Vinicius experiencing a decline.
