Bayern lead market value update: Olise chases Musiala, Karl makes big gains | OneFootball

FC Bayern are the big winners of the new Bundesliga market value update from Transfermarkt. Several stars of the record champions have seen significant increases—led by Michael Olise. But Lennart Karl and Dayot Upamecano also have reason to celebrate.

While the injured Musiala keeps his market value at 140 million euros and remains the most valuable Bundesliga player, Olise is closing in on him. The French winger joined from Crystal Palace for 53 million euros in 2024 and has since proven to be a real hit. Olise has gained an impressive 30 million euros, bringing his market value to 130 million euros. That puts the attacker just behind Jamal Musiala.

In just 65 competitive matches, the 23-year-old has been involved in 54 goals, is a firm part of the French national team, and shines with consistency in the Bundesliga, Champions League, and DFB-Pokal. Market value expert Frederic Hillmann described Olise as “one of the four most valuable wingers in the world.” With his current value, the Bayern star is now worth more on his own than the entire Union Berlin squad.

Alongside Olise, SGE star Can Uzun has also made a solid leap. The striker is now valued at 45 million euros, an increase of 27 million euros. Other market value winners are (Diomande, RB Leipzig) with 18.5 million euros and Said El Mala (1. FC Köln), Karim Adeyemi (Borussia Dortmund), and Jarell Quansah (Bayer Leverkusen) with 15 million euros each.

In addition to the superstars at Säbener Straße, a homegrown talent caused a stir: Lennart Karl, just 17 years old, catapults himself from 1.5 to a hefty 20 million euros in market value. According to Hillmann, this makes the youngster the most valuable winger under 18 in the world.

“At 17, Lennart Karl is a squad player at FC Bayern and has shown in the Bundesliga why he is considered an exceptional talent in his age group,” explained the market value insider. “The fact that Munich decided to sign fewer new players because of a talent like him, in order to give him more playing time, speaks volumes.”

There are also positive developments in defense: Dayot Upamecano is currently experiencing his strongest season yet in a Bayern shirt and increases his market value by 10 million euros to 60 million euros—the highest value of his career so far. The French center-back impresses with stability, leadership, and consistency. Errors like those from last season have almost disappeared from his game, making him one of the key players in Vincent Kompany’s system.

Overall, Bayern’s squad value rises by an impressive 45 million euros—to 951 million euros. No team in the Bundesliga reaches a higher total value.

Setbacks for Kim and Ito – Boniface is the biggest loser

Not all Bayern players benefit from the new update. Two defensive players had to accept downgrades: Minjae Kim loses eight million euros and is now valued at 32 million euros, while Hiroki Ito drops by seven million to 18 million euros.

Kim has lost his starting spot due to the signing of Jonathan Tah, while Ito remains sidelined with injury.

The biggest market value losers come from Leverkusen: loanee Victor Boniface dropped by 20 million euros. For Exequiel Palacios, it’s 10 million euros.
