The complete list below is a November 12, 2025 snapshot, not a verified October 2026 ranking. Its figures are statistical transfer-value estimates—not confirmed bids, release clauses, or guaranteed sale prices.
What “most valuable” means in this ranking
The list was published by Lente Desportiva on November 12, 2025, citing the latest CIES Football Observatory teenager valuation report available at that time. CIES defines the eligible group as players who had not yet turned 20 and describes its figures as estimated transfer values produced by a statistical model. CIES says its headline estimates above €100 million are “with add-ons and for 100% of rights.” Those assumptions do not make an estimate an offer a club has made or would accept.
The table reproduces the positions, club labels, and rounded values in Lente Desportiva’s November 12, 2025 list. CIES independently confirms the four leading names and headline values, as well as several other players in the top ten, but the full table’s exact positions and values come from the secondary article.

How to read the values and the gap at the top
Yamal is a clear outlier
At €349.6 million, Yamal’s listed estimate is almost three times the €118.1 million assigned to second-ranked Estêvão. The next two players, Pau Cubarsí (€112.7 million) and Franco Mastantuono (€102.4 million), are much closer to Estêvão than to Yamal. CIES’s official headline rounds these four estimates to €350 million, €118 million, €113 million, and €102 million respectively, and specifies that the figures include add-ons and assume 100% of rights.
An estimate is not a transfer fee
A modelled transfer value is not the same measure as a fee actually paid. It should not be treated as a guaranteed sale price, a release clause, or evidence that a club has received or made a bid at that amount. When comparing a model estimate with a completed transfer, keep the two figures separately labeled and include their dates and scope.
What the CIES report says about the wider pool
The top 15 are a small slice of the CIES report’s broader group. CIES counted 113 teenagers valued at €10 million or more across 25 leagues and 80 clubs. Of that wider population, 23 players were from the English Premier League, 16 from the German Bundesliga, and 11 from French Ligue 1. These counts describe the report’s broader sample, not the clubs or leagues represented only in the 15-row table.
The CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post 520 supplies the eligibility rule, model description, selected leading values, and wider-sample counts. CIES describes the Football Observatory as a statistical football research group specializing in areas including transfer values; its newsletter and index also link to a scientific paper on the valuation model.

Why this is not an October 2026 ranking
The available complete teenager list is dated November 2025. A later CIES item gives Yamal an estimated €358 million in a separate overall-player valuation context, but it is not a refreshed full teenage ranking and should not be combined with this table. The newer overall context is available through the CIES newsletter and index. Without a verified later full list, the November snapshot is the date-specific ranking that can be reported here.
