FC Barcelona is a club where young talents keep emerging, like Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí, Héctor Fort, or Marc Guiu in the first team. However, due to tough competition, many promising players have had to seek success outside of Barcelona. Players like Alejandro Grimaldo, who is now one of the best left-footed wingers in Europe after moving to Bayer Leverkusen from Benfica last summer, or Takefusa Kubo, a key player at Real Sociedad, show that former Barça players are excelling and their value is rising. Looking at the market value of Barça‘s youth players on ‘Transfermarkt’, only three of the top ten most expensive players trained in the club’s youth ranks are still with the first team. They are Gavi (€90 M), Lamine Yamal (€60 M), and Alejandro Balde (€50 M). The others, including Ansu Fati on loan at Brighton, have moved on and are proving their worth outside of Barcelona.Ansu Fati (Brighton)€30 MAlejandro Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen)€35 MLeo Messi (Inter Miami)€35 MAndre Onana (Manchester United)€40 MDani Olmo (RB Leipzig)€50 MAlejandro Balde (Barça)€50 MTake Kubo (Real Sociedad)€60 MLamine Yamal (Barça)€60 MXavi Simons (RB Leipzig)€70 MGavi (Barça) €90 M
