Barça’s women’s team holds strong market value, securing top spot on the podium
Barça women’s team had an amazing season last year and clinched four titles (Champions League, Copa de la Reina, and Super Cup), solidifying their position as the team to beat worldwide. The impressive performances by the culés, along with the success of the Spanish national team, have significantly increased the market value of Barça players, as shown in the rankings by the expert website ‘Soccerdona’.
The most valuable player globally is Aitana Bonmatí, the reigning Ballon d’Or winner with a market value of 750,000 euros. Following closely are Barça stars Caroline Graham (600,000 euros) and the two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas (500,000 euros).
The list of valuable Barça players doesn’t stop there. In the top 25, we also find Patri Guijarro (5th with 450,000 euros), Salma Paralluelo (7th with 400,000 euros), Mapi León (13th with 350,000 euros), Keira Walsh (17th with 325,000 euros), Fridolina Rolfö (18th with 325,000), Ona Batlle (20th with 300,000 euros), and the new addition Ewa Pajor (21st with 300,000 euros). This means that 10 out of the 25 most valuable players in women’s football are part of the Barça team aiming to defend their titles next season.
