The price of two players from the Catalan club has plummeted.
Barcelona’s transfer market is facing a new market value update, with Gavi and Frenkie de Jong now valued at €25 million, according to Transfermarkt. The two midfielders had previously reached €90 million, so their combined value has dropped from €180 million to €50 million.

Barcelona and Gavi’s depreciation
Gavi, a 22-year-old midfielder, has experienced the most significant drop in value due to an injury. The player had reached a valuation of €90 million after breaking into Barcelona’s first team as a 17-year-old, becoming a regular in the national team, and winning the Kopa trophy in 2022.
A rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, sustained with Spain in November 2023, halted his development. Barcelona later confirmed that the injury also affected the lateral meniscus, keeping Gavi out of action for almost a year.
The return did not lead to an immediate restoration of his previous valuation. The club notes that he played 42 games in the 2024/25 season, but then faced physical issues that reduced his playing time in the following season.
Now Gavi is valued at 25 million euros – a decrease of 65 million euros from the top. His contract with Barcelona is valid until June 30, 2030.
Frenkie de Jong also falls to 25 million
The case of Frenkie de Jong, a 29-year-old Dutch midfielder, follows a different path. He joined Barcelona in 2019 after the club negotiated his transfer from Ajax, reaching a valuation of €90 million in several Transfermarkt updates.
The latest decline now values him at €25 million as well – a €65 million reduction from the top. This drop comes after several seasons marked by injuries and increasing competition in midfield.
De Jong finished the 2025/26 season with eight assists, according to Barcelona, but was again sidelined at the start of the current season due to a knee injury.
The Dutchman has recently partially returned to group training after being away for 136 days. If his recovery continues, he is expected to return to competitive action at the end of October.
Alejandro Balde holds a different valuation
The update also highlights the case of Alejandro Balde. The 22-year-old left-back holds a value of 50 million euros, according to the latest available data from Transfermarkt, and is under contract with Barcelona until June 2028.
Therefore, Balde will not join Gavi and De Jong in the drop to €25 million. Moreover, his valuation is still higher than when he first started in the first team, as Transfermarkt initially placed him at €4 million during his time with Barça Atlètic.
For Barcelona, the next significant update will depend on whether Gavi and Frenkie de Jong regain their competitive form in the coming months. Their physical progress and involvement under Hansi Flick will determine Transfermarkt’s future valuations, while Alejandro Balde will start from a value of €50 million.
