Vinícius Júnior has dropped to €130 million in Transfermarkt’s latest update, leaving him 10th among the world’s most expensive players.
Transfermarkt update
The Real Madrid forward was previously listed at €140 million, after peaking at €200 million between 2024 and 2025. His latest dip follows a slow start to the current season.
At the top of the ranking, Lamine Yamal and Erling Haaland are valued at €220 million each. Kylian Mbappé sits third on €200 million, with Michael Olise fourth on €180 million.
Jude Bellingham is next on €160 million, followed by Pedri at €150 million. João Neves, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Vitinha are all on €140 million, ahead of Vinícius.
Diomande closes the gap
The Brazilian also faces pressure from within his own squad. Diomande, who joined Real Madrid this summer, has risen from €90 million to €120 million in the same update.
That leaves the pair €10 million apart, with Diomande now one place behind Vinícius in the rankings.
