Totally deserved! Pedri Gonzalez's impressive increase in market value at FC Barcelona

If there is a player who has notably grown in this 2024-25 season with FC Barcelona, that is Pedri González. From Tegueste, he has always shown himself as a midfielder possessing individual talent, creativity, and class worthy of a true 'magician' on the field.

However, in this 2024-25 season, under the guidance of Hansi Flick, in addition to his varied offensive tools, he has added significant defensive capabilities. Along with a notable improvement in his physical condition, becoming less prone to injuries, the '8' has evolved into a complete footballer.

It is no wonder, then, that he is considered the 'brain' of the FC Barcelona midfield. Although to a lesser extent than names like Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, he has gradually been mentioned as a possible candidate for the Ballon d'Or. Despite his not overwhelmingly impressive goal and assist statistics, it is clear that he is vital to Barça's functioning and their aspirations to win the three remaining titles at stake for the culé team.

Pedri González's market value continues to rise

The outstanding performance of Pedri González with FC Barcelona has not only been recognized by the fans, his teammates, and the club, leading the club to renew his contract long-term. It has also translated into his market value. Nowadays, the blue and crimson '8' is one of the players from Barcelona's squad whose value has increased the most this season, placing him at the top of the table alongside Lamine Yamal.

According to Transfermarkt metrics, Pedri González has increased his market value by a total of 40 million euros since the start of the season. He began the season with a value of 80 'kilos' and in the latest market value update, he is now valued at a total of 120 million euros, surpassed only by Lamine Yamal, whose current price stands at around 180 million euros, making him the most valuable asset of FC Barcelona at present.

The '8' is not the only culé whose market value has changed

Although the change in value for Pedri González has been the most significant, it is not the only one. For example, Alejandro Balde has also increased his value from the start of the season until now by around 20 million euros, starting at 40 and currently valued at 60 'kilos'.

However, within the Barcelona team, there are also assets whose value has experienced a slight depreciation recently, such as Andreas Christensen, Eric García, and Ansu Fati, whose value has slightly decreased. Below are the market values.
