With the 2025/26 season in full swing, <em>Transfermarkt</em> has published its latest market value updates this December, recognizing those who started the season in outstanding form. Various young talents have enhanced their growing reputations, while some of the top superstars have seen fluctuations in their values. We've compiled a prestigious list of the 100 most valuable players in the world as of now. If players have equal market values, the younger player is given a higher rank.

<h2>The Top 100 Most Valuable Footballers Worldwide</h2>

<p>
At the top is the teenage sensation, Lamine Yamal, whose market value has reached €200 million at just 18 years old. Despite his youth, he has already secured two LaLiga titles with Barcelona, lifted the Euro 2024 trophy with Spain, and consistently excelled on big stages for both club and country. In second place is Manchester City’s prolific striker, Erling Haaland (€200m), who ranks above Kylian Mbappé (€200m) due to being a year younger. Both players saw an increase of €20m in the latest assessments. Real Madrid and England's Jude Bellingham sits in fourth place, boasting a market value of €160m following a €20m decrease this winter. Another Los Blancos star, Vinicius Junior, rounds out the top five with a valuation of €150m.

Barcelona's 22-year-old midfielder Pedri ranks sixth with a market value of €140m, while Bayern Munich's prodigious talent Jamal Musiala follows closely in seventh with a €130m valuation. Bukayo Saka has dropped to eighth place with a current value of €130m, reflecting a €10m downturn in the latest Premier League update. Bayern Munich's Michael Olise holds the ninth spot, also valued at €130m, with Chelsea's Cole Palmer completing the top ten at €120m. Additionally, there are nine other players valued at €100m or more. Notably, Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen (42nd at €75m) is the only player from a club outside Europe's top five leagues to feature in the list of the top 100 MVPs.
