Barcelona boasts four players in the most valuable starting eleven of the 2026 World Cup semifinals, compiled by Transfermarkt based on market value and player positions from the four remaining national teams: France, Spain, Argentina, and England.
Ламин Ямаль leads as the most valuable player among semifinalists with a market value of €200 million. Alongside him, Barcelona's midfielder Pedri González is valued at €150 million and center-back Pau Cubarsí at €80 million.
Goalkeeper Joan Garcia, though a backup for Spain, is valued at €45 million, ranking above several starting World Cup keepers such as Unai Simón (€22 million) and Jordan Pickford (€13 million).
The rest of the eleven includes notable French and English players like Kylian Mbappé (€180 million) and Jude Bellingham (€130 million).
This reflects Barcelona's successful development of young talents, now acknowledged as some of the most promising and valuable worldwide. These players also hold key roles in their national teams, underscoring the club’s solid foundation.
Such representation at the World Cup increases demands on these players but confirms the high quality of Barcelona’s squad for the 2026/27 season.
