In 2024, several young players have emerged seemingly from obscurity to establish themselves as some of the finest footballers in the world.

As anticipated, these players’ transfer values have soared as a result.

Here are the ten players who have experienced the most significant rise in their transfer values in 2024:

Aleksandar Pavlovic

Current value: €30m
Increase: +€2m

Despite Bayern Munich’s disappointing 2023/24 season, Aleksandar Pavlovic’s rise was a notable bright spot.

The midfielder proved a valuable asset for the Bavarians, making 19 Bundesliga appearances and securing his first senior cap for Germany. Well, it was done.

Pau Cubarsi

Current value: €30m
Increase: +€28.5m

Raise your hand if you were familiar with Pau Cubarsi before 2024.

Unless you’re a dedicated follower of Barcelona B, you’re likely not being entirely honest.

With his transfer value soaring dramatically, the defender has risen from relative obscurity in 2024 to secure a spot as a key player for Barcelona and earn his first senior cap for Spain.

He accomplished all this at just 17 years old, which is quite an impressive feat.

Arda Guler

Current value: €45m
Increase: +€30m


After facing significant fitness challenges in 2023 and limited playing time for much of 2024, Guler experienced a remarkable boost in his transfer value during a standout period from May to July.

This surge was well-deserved.

The attacking midfielder delivered exceptional performances at club and international levels, scoring four goals in three matches for Madrid at the end of the La Liga season and adding three goals to help Turkiye secure a place in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals.


Florian Wirtz

Current value: €130m
Increase: +€30m

To encapsulate Florian Wirtz’s exceptional performance in the 2023/24 season, consider this:

He led Bayer Leverkusen to their first-ever Bundesliga title.

This achievement eluded legends like Michael Ballack, Dimitar Berbatov, and Toni Kroos.

In our view, a €130 million valuation is entirely justified for a player of his caliber.

Vinicius Junior

Current value: €180m
Increase: +€30m

The top player on this list is Vinicius Junior.

The Brazilian sensation was exceptional throughout the 2023/24 season, delivering crucial goals that propelled Real Madrid to triumph in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League—he even scored in the Champions League final.

There’s a compelling reason he’s the frontrunner for the Ballon d’Or.

Riccardo Calafiori

Current value: €45m
Increase: +€32m


Transfermarkt reports that Arsenal exceeded the mark by €4 million on Riccardo Calafiori.

However, they’re likely not too concerned, as Calafiori has proven to be an exceptional addition. The defender emerged as Serie A’s standout player of the season and made a notable impact at Euro 2024. (not just because he’s a beautiful man).

Cole Palmer

Current value: €80m
Increase: +€35m

In the past year, Cole Palmer has transformed from a reserve player at Manchester City to winning Young Player of the Year and scoring in the Euro 2024 final.

So yes, as expected, his transfer value has skyrocketed.

Phil Foden

Current value: €150m
Increase: +€40m


Phil Foden’s previous transfer value was considered limitless and has only increased following an outstanding season with Manchester City.

The attacking midfielder was the Premier League’s top performer last season, delivering an impressive 27 goals in 35 appearances.

Kobbie Mainoo

Current value: €55m
Increase: +€49m

A €49 million rise is impressive, though we’re somewhat surprised it isn’t higher.

Kobbie Mainoo emerged as a standout talent in 2024, rapidly establishing himself as one of the most thrilling young players in the Premier League and securing a regular spot with England. He featured in every knockout game for his country at Euro 2024.

The future looks incredibly bright for this gifted midfielder.

Lamine Yamal

Current value: €120m
Increase: +€60m

Naturally, Lamine Yamal tops the list.

He was the standout performer at Euro 2024, emerging as the most electrifying young talent in global football and surpassing all other graduates from La Masia since Lionel Messi.

And he’s only just turned 17.

It’s astounding.

He’s simply extraordinary.
