In Transfermarkt's updated market value list, the Barcelona prodigy has overtaken the Real Madrid striker.
Lamine Yamal's meteoric rise to the top of men's football continues with the Barcelona star now worth more than LaLiga rival Kylian Mbappé, according to the latest estimates from Transfermarkt.
How much are Lamine and Mbappe worth?
According to the statistics website, which updated transfer valuations today, Lamine's expected market value has risen to €180 million, while Real Madrid striker Mbappe's expected price tag has fallen to €160 million.
This isn't the first time Lamine has surpassed Mbappé lately. At the FIFA The Best Football Awards earlier in December, the 17-year-old forward was named to the global governing body's Men's World 11, ahead of the France international. Lamine joined Vinícius Júnior and Erling Haaland in attack in the all-star team, which was chosen by players, coaches, journalists and fans.
Lamine shines while Mbappe struggles to establish himself
So far in the 2024/25 season, Lamine and Mbappe have had slightly different life experiences in LaLiga. While the former has picked up where he left off in a scintillating 2023/2024 campaign – one that culminated in his starring role in Spain's summer triumph at the 2024 European Championship – the latter has had a difficult first few months at Madrid.
Showing only glimpses of his abundant abilities, Mbappe has delivered numerous disappointing performances in the first half of the season. Notably, he missed key penalties in successive away games in late November and early December, in defeats to Liverpool and Athletic Club.
Although Mbappe has struggled to string together convincing performances since joining Madrid on a free transfer in July, he has still scored 14 goals and four assists in all competitions.
Who is worth more than Lamine in LaLiga?
According to the latest update from Transfermarkt, there are only two players in LaLiga who meet Lamine's new transfer rating. Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham has remained at €180 million, while the Englishman's Bernabéu teammate Vinícius Júnior continues to share the global number 1 spot with Manchester City's Haaland. Both are priced at €200 million by Transfermarkt.
