Vinicius Jr has now become the highest valued player in La Liga, following Transfermarkt’s latest update. The German site has set his market value at €120 million, a boost of €20 million from his previous revised value.
The Brazilian is clear of Pedri by €30 million, with the midfielder emerging as Barcelona’s most valuable player once again. The youngster is valued at €90 million, which is an increase of €10 million from the last revision.
Vinicius Jr is the most valuable player in La Liga
So far this season, the winger has scored five goals across all competitions, continuing his brilliant form in front of the net. Last year, the 22-year-old had his breakthrough season, and finally found his killer instinct in front of goal consistently.
And he has now become one of Real Madrid’s most reliable attackers, sharing the burden of scoring goals. He had a brilliant partnership with Karim Benzema that helped them win the La Liga and Champions League title, and is the most prolific forward in the team now that the Frenchman is sidelined.
Right now, he is on international duty and is surrounded by the fans from his home country. Vinicius Jr was recently the subject of racial discrimination by a Pedro Bravo, a Spanish agent, criticising his dancing celebrations after scoring goals. And after winning the Madrid derby at the Wanda Metropolitano, the player is ready to feature for Brazil.
