BARCELONA have three of the ten most valuable players in La Liga despite floundering in ninth in the table after just three wins in seven.
According to transfermarkt, midfielder Frenkie de Jong's £81million valuation is the highest in Spain – while Eden Hazard fails to even make the top ten.
The 30-year-old Real Madrid star is valued at just £22.5million after an injury-plagued two years at the Bernabeu.
Meanwhile his brother Thorgan, 28, – who plays for Borussia Dortmund – is valued at £24million.
At just 18-years-old Barca midfielder Pedri is the second-most valuable player in La Liga after de Jong – worth a cool £72m.
The ever-present Spaniard recently signed a new contract at Camp Nou which includes a ONE BILLION Euros release clause.
Atletico Madrid duo Marcos Llorente, 26, and Joao Felix, 21, are third and fourth on the list – valued at £72m and £63m respectively.
Their efforts helped Diego Simeone's side to a first La Liga title since 2014 last season.
Real Sociedad talisman Mikel Oyarzabal, 24, is also worth £63million – as is Atletico shot-stopper Jan Oblak, 28, and 29-year-old Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro.
Casemiro's Bernabeu midfield compatriot Federico Valverde, 23, is next on the list.
The Uruguayan is valued at £58.5million.
The Los Blancos pair have helped Carlo Ancelotti's side to the top of La Liga after eight games.
And 18-year-old Barcelona wonderkid Ansu Fati and Chelsea linked Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde, 22, round off the list of the ten most valuable La Liga stars.
They're both worth £54m.
Kounde's release clause though is £68million – but the Blues and Manchester United could still reportedly go head-to-head for his signature in January.
The figures mean Eden Hazard is not even worth half of the tenth most valuable player in the league.
The Belgian forward has featured eight times for Los Blancos so far this campaign but is still yet to find the back of the net.
An assist in the 4-1 win against Alaves on the opening day of the season is the only goal contribution to his name so far.
He is yet to even complete 90 minutes in all competitions since the season began and in 51 appearances for Madrid has just five goals to his name.
