Which La Liga players have the highest market value? Vinicius Jr, Pedri, João Félix...

We take a look at why Vinicius, João Félix and Pedri have the highest market value in LaLiga.

LaLiga has attracted some talent this summer. Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Antonio Rudiger are among the names who made the move to Spain during the off-season. Here we take a look at three players who played in Spain last season and currently have the highest market value in LaLiga.

Last season saw Vinicius Jr show his true potential, being a key player for Los Blancos as Carlo Ancelotti’s men win LaLiga and the Champions League.

Vinicius was the best performer in LaLiga alongside Karim Benzema. In 33 league games, the 22-year-old scored 14 goals and registered nine assists, while putting in some devastating displays in attack.

Amongst players in Europe’s top-five leagues in 2021-22, he ranked in the 99th percentile per 90 for progressive carries (12.95) and touches in the attacking penalty area (8.70).

Pedri spent some time on the sidelines through injury, but when he played for Barcelona he was impressive. The Canary Islander may have only featured 12 times in the league last season, but he was decisive in his time on the pitch, arguably the best performing player in the league at times.

With Pedri in the engine room, Barcelona picked up an average of 2.67 points per game in LaLiga. He was key in their wins over title challengers Sevilla and Real Madrid. Barcelona returned to action on Saturday, drawing 0-0 at home to Rayo Vallecano. Pedri went close to giving his side the three points but his effort from the edge of the box flew just wide of the post.

Market value: €80m

João Félix’s €127 million price tag hasn’t helped him at Atlético Madrid, but the Portuguese forward has become the key man in attack for Diego Simeone.

In 24 La Liga appearances last season, he scored eight times and registered four assists. At times, was unplayable, both domestically and in Europe.
