Leading the way is young star Lamine Yamal, whose value has jumped from €150 million to €180 million, marking a substantial boost. 

Another player enjoying a notable rise is Pau Cubarsi, a product of La Masia, whose valuation has soared from €40 million to €70 million. This surge reflects the growing recognition of his potential.

Pedri, the talented midfielder, has also seen his value increase, moving from €80 million to €100 million. Alongside him, Marc Casado, another promising talent in the midfield, has seen his valuation double from €15 million to €30 million. 

Alejandro Balde, the young full-back, has seen a jump from €40 million to €50 million, which highlights his rising importance within the squad.

Among the more established players, Raphinha’s market value has gone up from €60 million to €80 million, a reflection of his consistent performances.

Gavi, the young midfielder, has seen a slight decline, with his valuation dropping from €85 million to €80 million. 

Similarly, defenders Ronald Araujo and Frenkie de Jong have seen their values drop, with Araujo now valued at €55 million, down from €70 million, and De Jong’s worth decreasing from €60 million to €45 million. 

The decline in their valuations can be attributed to various factors, including recent performances and market conditions.

Barcelona’s club captain, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, has also faced a decline in his market value, dropping from €20 million to €15 million, mainly due to his season-ending injury. 

Ansu Fati has also seen a decrease, with his valuation falling from €15 million to €10 million, reflecting his limited role in the team in recent months.

Overall, while Barcelona’s younger players have seen impressive rises in their valuations, some key established figures have faced declines, reflecting a mix of factors including injuries and shifts in form.
