Top 10 Players With The Biggest Market Value Increases Since The Start Of 2024

Since the beginning of the year, several players have experienced significant increases in their market values due to their exceptional performances this season. We take a look at the players with the biggest increases, according to Transfermarkt.

The Biggest Market Value Increases In 2024

10. Alessandro Bastoni – Inter Milan (+£8.5 million)

Bastoni’s market value has surged by £8.5 million since the beginning of the year. Initially valued at £51.2 million, his current market worth stands at £59.8 million.

The Italian defender has been a rock in Inter’s defence this season, contributing to their position at the top of Serie A. With an impressive tally of 20 clean sheets, they have conceded only 15 times throughout the season.

9. Bukayo Saka – Arsenal (+£8.5 million)

Once again, Arsenal’s standout player has had a remarkable season. Since the start of 2024, his market value has risen by £8.5 million, jumping from £102.5 million to £111 million.

Saka has displayed exceptional form this season, contributing to a total of 31 goals across all competitions. If he maintains this form, it would be unsurprising to witness further escalation in his market value.

8. Alan Varela – Porto (+£9.4 million)

The 22-year-old has been the driving force in Porto’s midfield this season, leading to a significant increase in his market value of £9.4 million. Varela’s initial valuation was £12 million, but now the midfielder is valued at approximately £21.4 million.

Varela has not yet earned a call-up from his national team, but given his current form, it seems inevitable that his opportunity will come soon.

7. Riccardo Calafiori – Bologna (+£10.2 million)

The 21-year-old, who joined Bologna last summer from Basel, has enjoyed an impressive season in Serie A. His market value has increased by £10.2 million, starting from £11.1 million and rising to £21.4 million due to his excellent form this season.

The young defender is certainly a player to keep an eye on in the coming years, and it appears that Italy has secured themselves a promising defensive talent for the future.

6. Conor Bradley – Liverpool (+£11.1 million)

The 20-year-old has emerged as a promising talent for Liverpool this season, resulting in a substantial increase in his market value of £11.1 million. Initially valued at £1.7 million, his market value has dramatically risen to around £12.8 million.

Bradley has scored one goal and provided five assists this season. Initially stepping in for the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold, the young defender’s exceptional performances may have secured his spot in the starting eleven for the remainder of the season.

5. Pedro Neto – Wolverhampton Wanderers (+£11.1 million)

The Portuguese winger, previously a highly sought-after talent, has truly come into his own this season with exceptional displays. This has led to a significant increase in his market value, rising by £11.1 million, and he is now valued at £47 million from an initial £35.9 million.

With his current form, it seems inevitable that top clubs will once again pursue him in the upcoming summer transfer window. However, they might need to shell out a significant sum if he maintains his performance level.

4. Ivan Toney – Brentford (+£12.8 million)

The Brentford striker has made a sensational return to the Premier League, hitting the ground running with four goals in just nine games. This impressive form has resulted in a staggering £12.8 million increase in his market value.

With his market value now at £42.7 million, a significant increase from the initial £29.9 million, it’s clear that if he sustains this impressive form, many top clubs will be eager to secure his services in the summer.

3. Kenan Yildiz – Juventus (+£17.1 million)

The young Turkish striker has had a breakthrough season for Juventus, becoming the youngest ever foreign scorer for the club. Allegri described him as “technically gifted and very direct. As a player, he doesn’t mess about.”

Yildiz has experienced a remarkable £17.1 million increase in his market value, soaring from an initial £8.5 million to an impressive £25.6 million. The 18-year-old certainly has a bright future ahead of him.

2. Phil Foden – Manchester City (+£17.1 million)

The ‘Stockport Messi’ has had a remarkable season for the Sky Blues, playing a part in 28 goals across all competitions. This exceptional form has led to a £17.1 million increase in his market value. He was originally valued at £94 million but has since gone up to £111.1 million.

It seems like we’ve been discussing Foden for quite some time, yet he’s only 23 years old. It’s thrilling to anticipate that his prime years are still ahead of him.

1. Kobbie Mainoo – Manchester United (+£24.8 million)

The 18-year-old tops the list for the most significant increase in market value, as reported by Transfermarkt. His value has skyrocketed by an impressive £24.8 million, increasing from £5.1 million to £29.9 million.

Mainoo has truly stood out as Manchester United’s player of the season so far, commanding their midfield despite his tender age of 18. Much like Foden, Mainoo, who also comes from Stockport, is set to have one of the most promising careers in football.
