Real Madrid dominate the list of the top five most valuable players in LaLiga, following their recent acquisition of Kylian Mbappe. The France captain joined his dream club after his contract with PSG expired, completing a transfer years in the making.
Below, we’ll go over the five most valuable players in the Spanish top flight ahead of the 24-25 season.
Top 5 most valuable players in LaLiga
5. Federico Valverde – €120 million
"I was running after Morata as fast as I could. At one point, I heard a distant voice yelling "KILL HIM".

It was Sergio Ramos.”

The Uruguayan has slowly earned his place in the Real Madrid, and has now inherited the number 8 shirt from Toni Kroos after the latter’s retirement. Valverde’s time to be a regular in the team has arrived, and he is the fifth most valuable player in Spain right now.
4. Lamine Yamal – €120 million
Lamin Yamal about his playing style 🎙🚨🎙:

“There are many coaches and players who tell me that my style is similar to Messi's style, but I take all of that with humility because no one ever reaches Leo's level. Yes, our style is similar, but Messi is in another world 👑✨🐐… pic.twitter.com/twiwPW6Rux
Yamal had an incredible run at the Euros, helping Spain win the trophy for the fourth time in their history. At just 17, he has taken the footballing world by storm and is seemingly one of Barcelona’s best talents from the La Masia academy. He is also the only player in the top five not from Real Madrid.
3. Jude Bellingham – €180 million

Bellingham is one of the few players signed for over €100 million to have made an instant impact at their new club. The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder scored an incredible 23 goals and provided 11 assists in 39 games across the league and the Champions League.
2. Vinicius Jr – €180 million
Have to reflect on the greatness of this transition attack. The way Vinicius Jr changes the direction of his run to cut inside while Bellingham delays the pass until the perfect channel opens:pic.twitter.com/RFv8FVZhp3

The Brazilian’s story of almost being written off to finding his best self under Carlo Ancelotti is truly remarkable. He is now one of the top wingers in the world, and is in the running for the Ballon d’or as well, after winning his second Champions League title with Real Madrid this past season.
