In the course of the spring -updates of the transfer market, the market values of numerous currently unifying professionals are also updated. The most valuable player without club Daniel Amartey (30) records a minus of 1.5 million in this course and is from now on to be estimated at EUR 2.5 million. From now on, the Brazilian Rodrigão (29) occupies the place of the Ghanaer at the top of the ranking, the value of which is adjusted from EUR 3.5 to EUR 3 million.
The central defender has only had the status “without a club” since the end of February when the paths with ex-club Zenit St. Petersburg separated after almost three years of collaboration. The 1.91 -meter -tall right foot had screwed its value in the service of the Russians at the end of 2023 to the previous maximum mark of EUR 7 million. The 55-time national player of the Black Stars Amartey, on the other hand, has been without a club since September 2024 after having a public mud battle with the Turkish first division club Besiktas about a failed change in the past summer transfer window. In consequence, the parties released the working paper of the former English master, which was actually dated until 2026, and the Süper-League club said to the player with a compensation of three million euros.
A club spokesman for the Turks was quoted as follows with a view to Amartey in English media: “Amarty is a strange guy. We agreed with a club from Saudi Arabia, but he did not get on the plane. Then there was an agreement with Eyüpspor, but he fled through the back output of our site.” The professional himself denied these statements as “completely untrue, such things have never happened.” According to the current update, a sixth is still a sixth of its former maximum value.
Further devaluations among the most valuable clubless are available in the course of the update for the Keeper Álvaro Valles (27; -500 thousand to EUR 2.5 million), which is active until February), the double Brazilian international and Champions League winner with Paris Saint-Germain Rafinha (32; -1 million to 2 million euros) Or the former top talent of Manchester United Brandon Williams (24; -800 thousand to EUR 1.2 million).
The Red Devils had separated from the defense lawyer last summer, who threatened a prison sentence due to dangerous driving in road traffic in England in May. In a vodcast by the former United keeper Ben Foster, Williams said with a view to his lack of clubs during the week: “It hurts to watch football now because I just want to be there. I just want to play. I miss it to be in a team.” It remains to be seen whether the former English international will find their way back to professional football.
Another well-known professional with loss of value is 93-fold Ivorian international Serge Aurier (32), who was under contract with Galatasaray until last summer. For the defense routine, which was estimated to be 20 million euros at the weddings of his career, it goes from EUR 2.5 to 1.5 million euros. The former Gala and Manchester City professional Jason Denayer, until the end of January in the service of the Saudi Pro League club Al-Fateh, is also valued. The value of the 29-year-old is reduced by EUR 500 to 2 million euros from now on.
This is how the transfer market market values work
The transfer market market values are taken into account, taking into account various pricing models and a strong inclusion of the transfer market community, which deals with the values in detailed discussions. The transfer market values are not to be equated with the transfer sums actually paid.
The goal is not to predict a price, but an expectation value. When collecting the market value, both individual transfer modalities and situational framework conditions are relevant to a certain extent. Examples will be here listed.
