Real Madrid prodigy’s market value skyrockets by nearly seven times after rapid breakthrough | OneFootball

Thiago Pitarch has dominated the headlines around Real Madrid lately, having enjoyed a rapid rise to prominence.

After a slow start to the season, the young midfielder has finally gotten the chance to impress in the last few weeks, and he hasn’t disappointed either.

In fact, his impact on the pitch has been so immediate that the player’s valuations are already struggling to keep up with his actual influence on the game.

Pitarch’s valuation skyrockets

As per the Transfermarkt website, Pitarch’s market value has surged to €20 million, following his rapid emergence and recent performances.

This figure is particularly staggering considering he has only made seven appearances for the first team.

His performance in the Champions League, most notably his composed start against Manchester City, demonstrated a maturity that has generated massive enthusiasm across Europe.

To put this rise into perspective, he was first listed in October 2025 with a value of just €3 million, meaning his worth has multiplied nearly sevenfold in just a few months.

This ascent has propelled the academy graduate to the position of the 17th most valuable player in the current squad.

He has already surpassed the market ratings of established stars and veterans like David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, Ferland Mendy, and Antonio Rudiger.

On a league-wide level, he now ranks as the 62nd most valuable player in La Liga, despite having only three domestic appearances under his belt.

Pitarch’s new valuation also etches his name into the history books of Real Madrid’s youth system. He is now officially the most valuable Castilla player in history, eclipsing the previous benchmarks set by former academy jewels.
