Transfermarkt published its post-tournament revaluation on 22 July, moving Pau Cubarsi from EUR80m to EUR100m, a rise of 25%, after he took the award for the tournament's outstanding young player , and Lamine Yamal from EUR200m to EUR220m, level with Erling Haaland at the top of its list 1. Transfermarkt is a German-run database whose player values are compiled from transfer history, contract length, age and market feedback rather than from any club's books.
The same list moved Ferran Torres, who scored the only goal of the final, from EUR50m to EUR55m, a career high, and Anthony Gordon from EUR65m to EUR80m 2. A second list, reported on 23 July, added EUR20m each to Haaland, Yamal, Kylian Mbappe, Michael Olise, Julian Alvarez, Morgan Rogers, Cubarsi, Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos 3. Morocco's Ayyoub Bouaddi rose EUR30m, the third largest individual move of the tournament, and Ismael Saibari rose EUR15m to EUR55m 4. Both lists draw on the same underlying data, which limits how far the second corroborates the first.
These are modelled estimates rather than agreed fees, yet selling clubs negotiate against them, so a revaluation becomes a real number the moment a bid arrives. Barcelona hold three of the largest risers on the first list, in a summer when FIFA cut the club's Club Benefits payment to EUR2,893,533 . A club paid less for releasing its internationals now carries a squad the market prices higher, and only a sale turns the second fact into money that answers the first.
