Yamal and Haaland set all-time Transfermarkt valuation record

Lamine Yamal and Erling Haaland have become the most valuable footballers in the world according to Transfermarkt. Following the latest update, both players are now valued at €220 million — an all-time high for the platform. The 19-year-old Barcelona and Spain winger continues his meteoric rise. In the 2025/26 season, he played 45 matches across all competitions, scoring 22 goals and providing 17 assists, helping his club win the league title. Yamal also played a decisive role in Spain’s international success in 2026. Erling Haaland, meanwhile, remains the focal point of Manchester City’s attack. The Norwegian striker featured in 52 games last season, netting 38 goals and adding 9 assists. Those numbers have kept him at the top end of the market. No player had ever been valued this highly before — the previous record was also held by Haaland, but now he shares the summit with Yamal.
