Five Real Madrid players rank among top 10 most valuable players in La Liga
Lamine Yamal has recently made headlines by becoming the most valuable player in the world, following Transfermarkt’s latest valuation updates.
The Spanish international has dethroned Vinicius Junior to become the most valued footballer in the world, thanks to a brilliant season with Barcelona.
However, when it comes to an extended list of most valuable players in La Liga, Real Madrid still dominate things.
5 Real Madrid players in La Liga’s top 10
In an infographic shared by Transfermarkt, it is clearly shown that there are five Real Madrid players ranking among the top 10 most valued players in La Liga.
These five players include Vinicius, Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde and Rodrygo.
Bellingham and Mbappe jointly rank twice in the overall standings, with a valuation of €180 million – just behind Yamal.
While Bellingham’s valuation has remained stable, Mbappe has seen a valuation increase of €10 million following a brilliant first season at Real Madrid.
Vinicius, on the other hand, has seen his valuation tumble from €200 million to €170 million, no thanks to a poor season at Santiago Bernabeu.
The same goes for Rodrygo as well, whose valuation has dropped €10 million to €90 million. He is ninth on the list of top 10 most valuable players in La Liga, just ahead of Pau Cubarsi.
Federico Valverde, meanwhile, ranks sixth in the list even though his valuation has remained stable at €130 million.
This means Mbappe is the only Real Madrid player on this list to have his valuation increase, which is not a good sign for Los Blancos.
It also serves as a reminder that the club must turn things around under Xabi Alonso next season.
In what will come as a pleasing development for fans, Fabrizio Romano reports that Real Madrid forward Rodrygo could make a comeback from his injury earlier than expected.
The 25-year-old Brazilian international has been out of action since March after suffering an ACL injury during a La Liga game against Getafe.
Due to the complete rupture of the ACL, coupled with associated meniscus damage, it was suggested that the attacker was staring at a lengthy time out on the sidelines and might not return until 2027.
In fact, the forward’s father, Eric Goes, recently stated in an interview that the Real Madrid ace could be back in February next year, just before the business end of the campaign.
Rodrygo could be back in December
However, as per the update from Romano, Rodrygo’s comeback could happen well before that expected date.
Indeed, if things continue to progress at the current rate, the 25-year-old attacker might return to action in December or by January 2027 at the latest.
This will come as a welcome boost for Jose Mourinho & co., considering that Rodrygo is a valuable player for the team.
Even though he had endured a tough spell prior to his form, the Brazilian’s versatility, work rate off the ball, and eye for a goal make him an asset.
Rodrygo eager to be back at his best
The update from Romano further states that Rodrygo feels very grateful to Real Madrid for all the help and support they have given him during this difficult phase of his career.
As such, the Brazilian international has made it a mission to return to action in the best shape possible and make an impact from the get-go.
The attacker has only recently begun working on the pitch with the ball indicating the significant progress he has made on the road to recovery.
And, if there are no setbacks, Real Madrid could recover one of their ace attackers before the end of the current year.
So far in his career, Rodrygo has made 297 appearances for Real Madrid, scoring 71 goals. He has a contract with the club until 2028.
