      by

      THE 2024-25 season has seen plenty of breakout stars make a name for themselves, taking their game and their value soaring to new heights.But no one has seen their market value increase since July 1 more than Lamine Yamal. Lamine Yamal’s value has doubled since July 1Credit: RexMyles Lewis-Skelly is worth 14 times what he was at the beginning of the seasonCredit: GettyCole Palmer is ranked No9 among all of the world’s footballersCredit: GettyAnd Myles Lewis-Skelly is worth 14 TIMES more than he was at the beginning of the campaign. Transfermarkt’s figures take into consideration more than 30 different factors and variables to calculate a player’s worth.That includes age, performances, injury susceptibility, contract situation and a club’s financial power. Erling Haaland and Vinicius Junior are tied at the top of the tree for the most valuable footballers in world football right now.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLThe duo – both 24 – are worth a whopping £170million with the likes of England trio Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden all in the top ten. But the third most valuable footballer is now, already aged just 17, Barcelona sensation Yamal. Since July 1, he has helped Spain win Euro 2024 and is already arguably the main man at Barca as they hunt a LaLiga-Copa del Rey-Champions League treble.Yamal was unplayable in the semi-final first leg against Inter – and will hope to produce another thrilling performance to book his side’s place in Munich’s final. Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSIncredibly, though, his transfer value has doubled since July 1 – from £76.5m to £153m.That increase is more than £30m more than the next on the list: Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush.Watch as Lamine Yamal, 17, stars alongside Ronaldinho and Barcelona legends in incredible new kit advertThe January Etihad arrival was worth £19m on July 1 but now his figure has increased 241 per cent to £64m – a rise of £45m. Cole Palmer is third having upped his value £43m from £68m to £111m, enough to make him the ninth most-valuable footballer in the world, level with Foden, Fede Valverde and Rodri. It is a third Premier League player in a row next with Ethan Nwaneri reaping the rewards for becoming a first-team regular at Arsenal (up up £40m and 587.5 per cent to £46.7m).He is followed by a future Prem star in the shape of Geovany Quenda.The Portuguese teenager did not have a market value on July 1 but is now up worth more than £38m – approximately £4m shy of the fee Chelsea have agreed to pay Sporting for the teenager. Barcelona duo Pedri (up £34m and 50 per cent to £102m) and Pau Cubarsi (up £34m and 133.3 per cent to £59.5m) join team-mate Yamal in the top seven.Ryan Gravenberch has enjoyed a fine season under Arne Slot at Liverpool and has doubled his value from £30m to £60m.That £30m increase is the same as Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike as the striker attracts plenty of transfer interest. He is now worth £47m while Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers also rose £30m to £42.5m There are a few notable players who just miss out on the top-ten list. New Manchester City centre-back Abdukodir Khusanov (up £27.6m and 1300 per cent to £29.7m) is 11th, just ahead of Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen (up £27.2m and 320 per cent to £35.7m). Ballon d’Or contender Raphinha (up £25.6m and 60 per cent to £68m) and fellow Champions League hopeful Desire Doue are next (up £25.6m and 100 per cent to £51m). Liam Delap is 19th with the Ipswich striker’s market value rising £22.9m from £6.8m to £29.7m – 337.5 per cent.But one of the biggest increases in world football is Lewis-Skelly.Read More on The SunThe youngster has enjoyed a stellar season at left-back for Arsenal, shining in the Champions League and even breaking into the England squad. He started the campaign worth £1.7m but his 14-fold increase – up 1,300 per cent and £22.1m to £23.8m.  Ryan Gravenberch has enjoyed a stellar seasonCredit: ReutersEthan Nwaneri’s value is 588 per cent more than it was in JulyCredit: GettyOmar Marmoush is second – with his market worth rising from £19m to £64mCredit: Getty More

      Freak moment ball ‘magically’ spins away from goal as Real Madrid survive scare in win over Celta Vigo

      by

      REAL MADRID were the beneficiaries of some serious good fortune after an extraordinary incident in their game against Celta Vigo.Los Blancos defeated Celta 3-2 in a tight affair at the Bernabeu on Sunday to keep the pressure on league leaders Barcelona. Courtois watches on in horror as the ball squirms beyond him, but then spins back into his pathMbappe was on the scoresheet as Madrid kept themselves in title contentionCredit: GettyReal trail Barca by four points in the La Liga title race with three games to play. Arda Guler and Kylian Mbappe’s double had Carlo Ancelotti’s side 3-0 up and cruising inside 48 minutes, but Javi Rodriguez and Williot Svandberg struck for Celta to set up a grandstand finale. In the 79th minute, it was the visitors pushing hard for an equaliser that would have completed a superb comeback, as they look to bag a Europa League spot.Iago Aspas, the former Liverpool forward, slid an incisive ball through for Pablo Duran to chase, with the Spaniard clean through on goal. READ MORE REAL MADRID NEWSHe bore down on Real ‘keeper Thibaut Courtois, with Madrid’s makeshift centre-half Aurelien Tchouameni in tow. Duran’s effort seemed to squeeze through the Belgian shot-stopper, heading over the line.But the spin on the ball meant that it changed direction and nestled into Courtois’ grateful clasp.The Madrid goalkeeper looked mightily relieved to jump onto the loose ball, and Madrid survived an incredibly close shave. Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKFans on social media called the incident “black magic”, while another said that “the entire Bernabeu was blowing at once” in an attempt to keep the ball out of the home net. Earlier in the game, Guler curled home a stunner in the 33rd minute to open the scoring, before Mbappe doubled the advantage just six minutes later. ‘Absolute cinema’ – Kate Abdo dubbed ‘real talent’ after showing off incredible Spanish in Lamine Yamal interviewThe Frenchman rifled an effort from outside the box into the far corner, beyond the desperate reach of visiting ‘keeper Vicente Guaita.Mbappe raced onto Federico Valverde’s defence-splitting pass to make it three with the second half just three minutes old, confidently finishing into the corner with his left foot to score his 24th league goal of his debut season. Rodriguez benefited from a penalty box melee with 21 minutes to play, as he scrambled in Vigo’s first. Svandberg latched onto a sensational reverse pass from Aspas to ghost in behind the Madrid backline and slot beyond Courtois to haul the away side right back into contention. However, they would leave the capital frustrated, with Duran’s extraordinary chance one to rue. More
