"The gap between Barcelona and the rest of the world is astronomical. The Catalan giants boast a value that is more than double that of their closest competitors. The top three are completed by Manchester City (€286 million) and Bayern Munich (€284 million) - figures that pale in comparison to the wealth of talent residing in Catalonia. To put this dominance into perspective, Barça's academy value is higher than the combined total of the second and third-placed teams."
"This massive valuation is driven by the current explosion of talent under Hansi Flick. Young superstars such as Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsi, Gavi, Fermin Lopez, and Alejandro Balde have become established starters, skyrocketing their market value. As per Transfermarkt, Yamal is already the most valuable player in the world, with a market value of €200 million. Pau Cubarsi and Fermin Lopez are the next most valuable La Masia players for Barcelona, at €80 million and €70 million respectively."
Barcelona’s identity has long been founded on its youth academy, La Masia. A CIES ranking places La Masia as the world’s most-valued academy with an aggregate market value of €738 million for homegrown players under contract. That total is more than double the value of nearest rivals Manchester City (€286 million) and Bayern Munich (€284 million) and exceeds their combined totals. The surge in academy valuation reflects the emergence of young starters like Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsi, Gavi, Fermin Lopez, and Alejandro Balde. Transfermarkt valuations list Yamal at €200 million, Cubarsi at €80 million, and Fermin Lopez at €70 million.
