Following Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola has risen to the top as Ligue 1’s most valuable player, Soccernet.football reports.
The 22-year-old’s market value increased by €15 million, bringing his total worth to €65 million, according to Transfermarkt.
This leap has placed him ahead of high-profile teammates such as Ousmane Dembélé, Achraf Hakimi, and Warren Zaïre-Emery, each valued at €60 million.
Barcola’s impressive start to the season, with six goals in six Ligue 1 matches, has elevated his status in the French football scene.
Despite initial struggles in the Champions League, his domestic performances have earned him a spot in France’s national team.

Transfermarkt’s France Content Manager, Joachim Durand, noted that Barcola has quickly become PSG’s new sensation in the wake of Mbappé’s departure, solidifying his value in both Ligue 1 and European football.
Another standout in the latest market value updates is Lille midfielder Angel Gomes, who saw his worth rise to €28 million.
Despite suffering a head injury early in the season, Gomes made a swift recovery and received his first-ever England national team call-up in September. His continued growth makes him a key player to watch, especially as he enters the final year of his contract.
While Barcola and Gomes have seen their stock rise, Jonathan David of Lille experienced a slight downgrade, dropping to €45 million.
Although David remains Ligue 1’s most valuable non-PSG player, the lack of a high-profile transfer this summer has impacted his valuation.
