In the modern day, every single professional footballer has a market value over on Transfermarkt.
While the ever-changing number assigned to a player isn’t gospel, it’s a useful tool for analysis.
Of course, there are many variables which contribute to the overall market value.
As a player gets on in years, their worth slowly declines.
Lionel Messi may very well still be the best footballer on the planet, but at the age of 35, he is virtually a non-runner in the valuation race.
But instead of glancing at the senior superstars who are on the way down, we’ve decided to take a look at the market risers over the past two years.
Below, you’ll find the 25 footballers whose market value has increased the most since January 1st, 2021.

As is Gavi, who’s gone from not having a value in 2021 – due to the fact he was only just 16 – to being one of the most valuable footballers on the planet.
The sky’s the limit for the two teenagers in footballing terms.
