Transfermarkt continues to update the market values in Europe’s top leagues. Up next on the list among the top four leagues to receive an intermediary update is LaLiga.
Altogether, 132 players playing in the Spanish top division have received new market values and there has been some significant movement at the top.
Ahead of the update, Real Madrid stars Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius Junior shared the top spot with a market value of €180m.
The Transfermarkt team in Spain has now opted to change that, upgrading Vinicius Jr. making him the most valuable player in Spain and level with Man City star Erling Haaland.
Like Haaland, Vinicius Jr. saw his market value upgraded by €20m to now €200m. “Vinicius has maintained his high level this season; together with Valverde, he stands out as a leader and differential factor in the team, unlike his star teammates Mbappé and Bellingham, affected by a dip in form,” market value coordinator Spain Tobias Blaseio said when asked about Vinicius’ update pointing at the fact that the Brazilian could win the Ballon d’Or later this month. “The Brazilian’s upcoming Ballon d’Or selection at the end of October should reward him for his performances last season and crown his path to the top of the world.
” There is no doubt that Vinicius’ upgrade will bring about some discussions among the community. But there is also no doubt that the Brazilian was a significant factor in Real Madrid’s Champions League winning season.
