Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal’s new transfer valuation confirmed

Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal has today been afforded an updated transfer valuation, by the reliable Transfermarkt.

The emergence of youngster Lamine has of course proven one of the headline stories not only in Spain, but across all of Europe over the course of the season to date.

This comes with the winger, at just 16, having forced his way into the first-choice XI of Barcelona head coach Xavi.

Lamine boasts a frankly staggering repertoire of abilities for a player so young, excelling most notably when running with the ball, and in one-on-one situations.

Perhaps most impressive of all when it comes to his breakthrough, though, has been the ease with which the Spaniard has made his way through the process.

Despite having featured on a whole host of high-profile occasions at club level, and racked up four appearances for his country, Lamine has not once looked phased, taking his explosion onto the world stage in his stride.

And, as alluded to above, on Thursday, as much has been aptly recognised.

This comes by way of confirmation that the attacker has seen his transfer market value updated, by the ‘go to’ online source.

Transfermarkt are of course widely considered the game’s leading authority when it comes to accurate representations of a player’s monetary value, with sources at some of world football’s biggest clubs even understood to keep a close eye on the site’s activity.

Those of a Barcelona persuasion will therefore no doubt be excited to hear of Lamine’s price-tag, today, being hiked up once more.

After seeing his valuation rise to €60 million this past December, the 16-year-old, today, has been granted a further jump, to a hefty €75 million.
