When we talk about the Top 5 midfielders with the highest market value in the La Liga 2025/26, you have to look at either Real Madrid or FC Barcelona. Surely Atletico Madrid has some ballers too in their team. 15th August 2025 is the date for the start of the La Liga 2025/2026 season, whereas the last day of the season is on 24th May 2026.
One of the greatest midfielders of all time, Luka Modric, said goodbye to La Liga as he left Real Madrid to join the Serie A side AC Milan. Thaigo Alamda, the Argentine attacking midfielder, has joined Atletico Madrid. He will surely be the one to watch out for in the 2025/26 La Liga season. Toni Kroos, Xavi, Zindane, Andrées Iniesta, Xabi Alonso, Sergio Busquets, Isco, Mesut Ozil, and Ivan Rakitic are some of the greatest La Liga midfielders of all time.

Top 5 midfielders with the highest market value in the La Liga 2025/26
Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)
Since he joined Real Madrid two seasons ago, Jude Bellingham has had different roles in both seasons. In the first season, we saw a lot of goals, whereas in the last season, he took the Toni Kroos role and played as a box-to-box midfielder.
With know Xabi Alonso being the manager, we can see a new role for him again. He will miss the first few months of the season as he has a long-awaited shoulder injury. Jude Bellingham covers a lot of ground in helping both attack and defense.
Pedri (Barcelona)
When you hear the word controller, Pedri Gonzalez is the player that comes to your mind. Pedri has complete control of the FC Barcelona team. The last season was surely one of the best seasons of Pedri in that FC Barcelona shirt.
He has surely improved his physical state and can be in the top ten of the Ballon d’Or 2025 rankings. Pedri basically creates the behind runs for forwards, and he is very good with his shooting skills as well.
Federico Valverde (Real Madrid)
Playing in the midfield, scoring long-range bangers, and defending, tell me one thing that Federico Valverde can’t do. He is continuously playing with the same intensity throughout the whole game. Federico Valverde has to be the most complete midfielder in world football right now.
He will also captain Real Madrid this season as Dani Carvajal won’t play many games. The work rate of Fede Valverde is unmatched. He is the kind of player that many managers want on their team.
Aurelien Tchouameni (Real Madrid)
With the arrival of Xabi Alonso, Aurelien Tchouameni will be one of the most important players for him in the midfield. Many of them don’t realise, but Aurelien Tchouameni was surely one of the best players in the previous struggling season of Real Madrid.
He can surely carry the ball and is very smart with his defensive awareness. Aurelien Tchouameni can also play in the centre-back role and as a third back too in that Xabi system.
Dani Olmo (Barcelona)
He is one of the products of La Masia, but later joined the German side RB Leipzig. Last season, FC Barcelona welcomed him back. He is a very smart player, but there are a lot of injury concerns for the Spanish midfielder.
Dani Olmo provides that attacking threat and creates a lot of goals for the forwards. With Fermin being in great form, the place will surely see great competition for that position. He can play in different positions as well.
