🤑 Millionaire U20s: Yamal at €200m, Yildiz in top 10 🔝 | OneFootball

The U20 World Cup may not have the spotlight of the Champions League or the major national teams, but it has always been a unique showcase to discover the champions of tomorrow.

It's not just about playing for the cup: at stake is the opportunity to emerge, get noticed and direct one's career.

Just look at the past: in 2005 a young Lionel Messi enchanted the world, in 2019 Erling Haaland scored 9 goals in one match.

Two names that still dominate world football today and that left their first mark here.

🔥 Yamal, the new king of the U20s

Lamine Yamal is only 18 years old, but he is already the most valuable Under 20 in history with a market value of 200 million euros.

Astronomical numbers that put him on the same level as Mbappé (at the top in 2018), but with an even faster and more impressive career. Star of Barcelona and finalist for the 2025 Ballon d'Or, he has skipped all the steps.

The gap from the others is abyssal: more than double the second in the ranking, Désiré Doué of PSG.

⚡ Today's Top 10: the new generation

Behind Yamal, the podium is completed by Doué (90M) and Pau Cubarsí (80M), another Blaugrana talent.

The top 10 also includes Neves, Estevão and Yoro. The surprise? Kenan Yildiz, the '10' of Juventus, who ranks tenth with 50 million.

Not bad for a 2005 class that is already making Bianconeri fans fall in love.

🏆 The most valuable ever

Looking at history, the super-U20 club is exclusive.

Along with Yamal and Mbappé, there are Bellingham (180M), Haaland (130M), Musiala, Pedri, João Félix and Gavi.

A golden generation that confirms how the value of baby phenomena continues to grow.

🇮🇹 The Italians on the rise

And Italy? There are no shortage of interesting names: Francesco Pio Esposito (25M), Comuzzo (20M), Leoni (18M) and the very young Camarda (17 years old, already 10M).

Talents that could soon climb positions in this special world ranking.
