Transfermarkt - the largest football site specializing in player values has just announced the latest update. Accordingly, Lamine Yamal has surpassed Vinicius, Mbappe and Haaland to become the most expensive player at present.

Specifically, Yamal is valued at up to 200 million euros by Transfermarkt, above superstars Bellingham, Haaland, Mbappe (both 180 million euros), Vinicius Jr (170 million euros), Saka (150 million euros)...

This is also the highest value in football history, putting Yamal on par with the records of Mbappe, Haaland and Vinicius.

The first player to reach the 200 million euro mark on the transfer market was Mbappe, when he was valued at this price by Transfermarkt at the end of 2018. At that time, Mbappe was 20 years old. After 6 years, Mbappe has lost 20 million euros in value on the player market.

It took six years for Haaland and Vinicius to reach this milestone, both after extremely successful seasons.

Yamal has only just equalled the record held by Mbappe, Haaland and Vinicius. However, the Spanish superstar is only 17 years old. Every step he takes now is a record for the under-20 age group.

Despite being a contemporary football legend, Ronaldo does not rank too high on this value record list, due to the problem of market depreciation. In October 2014, Ronaldo reached the value milestone of 120 million euros, a record at that time.

Compared to Ronaldo, Messi is much more outstanding when he was valued at 180 million euros in 2018 - when he was 31 years old. Normally, players over 30 years old will have their value reduced by nearly half compared to the period of 20-25 years old.

Transfermarkt's player values are based on form, ability, and future development potential.
