Lamine Yamal becomes the most valuable player in the world with €200 million valuation | OneFootball

It is apparent that Lamine Yamal has gone from being just another youth prospect at Barcelona to becoming the most talked-about talent in world football.

Over the past year or so, Yamal has consolidated his position as one of the best wingers in the world and could emerge as a strong candidate for the Ballon d’Or.

Yamal is coming on the back of an exceptional season where he helped Barcelona win the domestic treble. He was also instrumental in helping Spain win the European Championship last summer.

All of these achievements at just 17 have skyrocketed Yamal’s valuation.
