Interim update Premier League
In the interim update in the Ukrainian Premier League, there are significant downgrades, especially at Dynamo Kiev, after the exit from the Conference League qualification and the mixed start to the season in the league. Georgiy Bushchan (29), Mykola Shaparenko (24) and Vitaliy Buyalskyi (30) are the biggest losers, all of whom are down by a million euros. Goalkeeper Bushchan and Shaparenko are now valued at 8 million euros, Buyalskyi at 7 million euros. The only bright spot at Dynamo is U21 national player Nazar Voloshyn (20), who will be upgraded by 300,000 euros to one million euros.
At league leaders Shakhtar Donetsk, the youngsters from Brazil, in whom they invested in the summer with the transfer fee of 10 million euros for goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin (22), are on the rise. Eguinaldo (18; +2.1 million euros) and Newerton (18; +1.8 million euros) both rise to 3 million euros. Altogether, the duo cost 7.1 million euros. The other new additions Iraqi Azarovi (21; +1 to 2.5 million euros), who immediately became a regular, and Stav Lemkin (20; +0.3 to 1 million euros), who recently played for Israel, also receive a plus debuted in the European Championship qualification.
The new number one, Dmytro Riznyk (24), will also be rewarded for his strong performances. Trubin’s successor makes a jump from 2 to 3 million euros. The market value curve for his teammates Dmytro Kryskiv (22; +0.5 to 3 million euros) and Oleksiy Kashchuk (23; +0.7 to 2.5 euros) is also pointing upwards.
Matvienko at the top: Most valuable player in the Ukrainian Premier League
Premier League levels continue to fall due to war
Artyom Zavodnyk (Coordinator International Department & Market Values at Transfermarkt) explains the general situation in the Ukrainian league: “The general trend is that the level of the league continues to fall due to the war and the difficult financial situation of many clubs. There is almost no income because the games are played in front of practically empty stands. The only sources of income are sales from players. For many, it remains to be hoped that the owners and sponsors of the clubs will continue to give money.”
Zavodnyk continued: “Foreign players rarely move into the league and when they do, they are young, rather unknown talents from South America and Africa. In return, many Ukrainian stars are leaving the league, such as top scorer Artem Dovbyk (to FC Girona), the league’s former most valuable professional Trubin (to Benfica) and even veterans like ex-Dynamo captain Sergiy Sydorchuk (to KVC Westerlo). This trend is likely to continue because even if the war ends, the economic situation will remain difficult for years to come.”
This is how transfer market market values work
The transfer market market values are created taking into account various pricing models as well as a strong involvement of the transfer market community, which deals with the values in detailed discussions. The transfer market market values cannot generally be equated with the transfer fees actually paid.
The goal is not to predict a price, but rather an expected value. When determining the market value, both individual transfer modalities and situational conditions are relevant to a certain extent. Examples of this are listed here. Transfermarkt does not use an algorithm (for detailed market value definition).
