Rabat – Ayyoub Bouaddi’s milestones keep coming, with the Morocco youngster’s market value reportedly climbing to €90 million in Transfermarkt’s latest Premier League update.
The new figure places the 19-year-old ahead of Achraf Hakimi, whose valuation remains at €80 million, and makes Bouaddi the highest-valued Moroccan player on the platform.
The timing explains why the figure suddenly began circulating on Wednesday.
Transfermarkt released a new round of Premier League market values today, updating players across the division after the opening weeks of the season. The platform regularly adjusts valuations based on factors including age, performances, future potential, reputation and market conditions.
Until recently, Bouaddi and Hakimi had been level at €80 million in rankings based on Transfermarkt data. Reports published in late September still listed both Morocco internationals at that figure.
That distinction is important because Bouaddi had already surpassed Hakimi in another sense during the summer.
Manchester City completed the signing of the midfielder from Lille on August 26 on a five-year contract running until 2031. The English club did not disclose the fee, but Reuters reported an initial €95 million payment with a further €5 million possible in add-ons.
That transfer made Bouaddi Morocco’s most expensive footballer by transfer fee, but his estimated market value was still level with Hakimi’s. The latest update reportedly separates the two on that measure as well.
Bouaddi’s valuation has risen sharply during 2026.
Transfermarkt valued him at €50 million at the beginning of June, before Morocco’s World Cup campaign. His performances at the tournament significantly raised his profile, particularly after his display against Brazil in Morocco’s opening match.
Transfermarkt itself described the midfielder’s World Cup as one that was “rewriting his price tag” while discussing the growing interest around him.
Morocco eventually reached the quarterfinals, with Bouaddi starting five of the team’s six matches before completing his move to Manchester City later in the summer.
Market valuations are estimates rather than transfer fees, and the two figures do not necessarily correspond.
Transfermarkt’s numbers are designed to reflect a player’s perceived value at a given moment rather than predict the exact amount a club would pay.
