Luis Suarez at FC Barcelona was an extraordinary player, and many FC Barcelona players remember him for his goal-scoring ability and his link-up with Neymar and Lionel Messi. The attacking trio was unstoppable in La Liga and in the Champions League. The trio guided FC Barcelona to a historic treble in the 2014/2015 season. Luis Suarez was one of the best players in the world, along with his teammates Neymar and Messi, and his value was one of the highest in the world in 2015. His highest market value was in 2015 when it was worth around $97.5 million. This number is not the highest of Uruguayan players in La Liga history as a former countryman has a higher value now who plays in La Liga.

Arguably, the best Uruguayan player in the world right now is Real Madrid's Federico Valverde, and the versatile midfielder's value has grown tremendously over the years. Valverde has become one of the most crucial players for Real Madrid over the past few years and is one of the best players in the world. His market value is continuing to grow, and right now, his value is higher than Luis Suarez's peak value.

Valverde's value in 2016 was around $487k with Peñarol. He then joined Real Madrid in 2017, and his market value went up to $1 million. He was on loan with Deportivo La Coruña, and his value increased past $6 million. Over the years, when he got more minutes with Real Madrid, the value skyrocketed from $20 million to more than $84 million. His market value now puts him among the most valuable players in La Liga, with a total of $108.3 million.
