Yassir Zabiri is continuing to attract attention after a remarkable start to the 2026/27 season, with his estimated market value rising dramatically following the September international break.

The 21-year-old Moroccan forward has seen his valuation more than double, reflecting the impact of his performances for Racing Santander and his growing involvement with the national team.

A Major Rise in Market Value

According to Transfermarkt, Zabiri’s estimated market value reached €20 million on October 5, compared with €9 million in the previous update published on June 1, 2026.

That represents an increase of €11 million, or more than double his previous valuation.

The rise comes at a significant moment in his development, with the youngster increasingly establishing himself as one of Morocco’s emerging attacking talents.

Six Goals in Seven League Appearances

His performances in Spain have been central to that rise.

The Racing Santander forward has scored six goals in seven league appearances at the beginning of the new campaign, quickly making an impression in Spanish football.

His finishing, movement and attacking confidence have helped him emerge as one of the club’s most notable young players.

A First Starting Appearance for Morocco

His club form also earned him a place in Mohamed Ouahbi’s Morocco squad during the September international window.

The forward was selected for the opening AFCON 2027 qualifiers against Gabon and Lesotho, marking another important step in his rapid progression.

He then received his first senior start for the Atlas Lions against Gabon in the opening qualifier, gaining valuable experience at international level.

From U20 World Champion to Senior International

The rise is particularly impressive given his recent success with Morocco’s youth teams.

The young forward was part of the Moroccan side that became U20 World Cup champions, an achievement that helped accelerate his profile and opened the door to senior international football.

Now, his performances at club level and his first opportunities with the senior national team are pushing his market value to a new level.

A Rapid Rise Still in Progress

From €9 million to €20 million in just a few months, the latest valuation underlines how quickly his stock has risen.

With six league goals already to his name and his first senior international start now secured, the next challenge will be maintaining that consistency and continuing to develop at both club and international level.

For Morocco, his emergence provides another exciting attacking option as the Atlas Lions continue to build a deep pool of young talent for the years ahead.
