1. Pedri

At just 18 years old, Pedri not only became a key player for Barcelona but also holds the title of the most valuable U19 midfielder of the moment. So far this year its value has risen by 40 million more to reach an incredible figure of 70 million euros.

Versatile and decisive in the final stretch of the season for Atlético de Madrid, the Spaniard was able to stand out above the rest, something that he failed to achieve at Real Madrid years ago. In this way, he had a rise of 25 million euros to reach 70 like Pedri.

3. Kingsley Coman

Bayern Munich once again had a large number of players as protagonists, but one of those who enjoyed the most improvement compared to last year was the French winger. Thanks to his important goals and dazzling performance in the Bundesliga, Coman increased his value by 25 million euros, to reach the figure of 65 in total.

4. Florian Wirtz

Bayer Leverkusen did not feel the loss of their former star Kai Havertz, since for the 20/21 season they removed this new promise from Germany from their lower categories. Wirtz raised his value about 21 million to have a market figure of 45 million euros, being the most valuable 17-year-old player in the world.

5. Bukayo Saka

Many things can be said about Arsenal, but if there is something more than certain it is that they have a very good eye to revalue young players. The English club has in its ranks this 19-year-old midfielder who will soon establish himself in the England team.

Costly mistakes and performances that left much to be desired gave Lenglet a hard blow, who despite everything had many minutes to play. Its market value fell to 25 million euros after a loss of the same value.

2. Miralem Pjanić

The Bosnian came to the Catalan team with the mission of occupying a position in the midfield, but his performance was not adequate and he ended up losing many games.

Although he was a starter in the most decisive match of Real Madrid in the Champions League, Hazard out of tune and reaffirmed his price drop to 40 million euros, losing another 20 million more for this 2021.

4. Philippe Coutinho

The Brazilian came down from heaven to hell in a year, and after winning the Champions League with Bayern Munich, the midfielder returned to Barcelona with the aim of starting and contributing with goals and assists, but it did not happen that way. With the few missed opportunities, Coutinho also fell to 40 million euros after losing another 20 million in this bleak season.

5. Antoine Griezmann
