Central defender talents in focus
The market value update in the 3rd division is primarily focused on central defender talent. Jamil Siebert (20), Leandro Morgalla (18), Kenneth Schmidt (20) and Andi Hoti (19) are four of the top five winners in Transfermarkt’s latest update.
Viktoria Cologne’s loan player Siebert recorded the clearest plus, whose value doubled to 700,000 euros. According to his advisor, AS Roma and Nottingham Forest have already inquired about the U20 national player. In the event of a change, the regular club Fortuna Düsseldorf, with which Siebert is still contractually bound until 2025, beckons a decent fee.

1860 Munich’s Morgalla (+300,000 euros) breaks the one million euro mark and is now, together with Dortmund’s Soumaïla Coulibaly (19), the most valuable central defender in the 3rd division. “Even at the age of 18, the defense headquarters of 1860 would be unimaginable without him. The U19 national player has all-round strong abilities, is fast, good in tackles, has a courageous opening and good positional play. Rumors of interest from various Bundesliga clubs are piling up, including Werder, Gladbach and Frankfurt. A transfer fee of millions seems inevitable, which is why Morgalla is joining the elite club of third division players with a market value in the millions,” explains market value admin Johannes Netzer (“Jojo1860”).
Market value update 3rd division: SC Freiburg II and Elversberg on the up
For Schmidt and Hoti from SC Freiburg II, it’s up 250,000 euros to 750,000 euros and 600,000 euros respectively. Together, the two are largely responsible for the fact that the second team from Breisgau has had a strong season and has one of the best defenses in the league. The fifth-placed team has conceded 19 goals after 17 games, which is only beaten by three teams in the league.
Active in front of the duo in midfield is Robert Wagner (19), who also made significant gains and is now valued at EUR 900.00 (+ EUR 300,000). The U20 international, who was awarded the Fritz Walter Bronze Medal, made his Bundesliga and Europa League debuts this season, playing 90 minutes against Qarabağ.
From Siebert to Atubolu: The most valuable players in the 3rd division
Behind Freiburg (+1.23 million euros), surprise team SV Elversberg is the team with the biggest gains. There are a total of eleven upgrades for the promoted team, who stays first in the table, which means a total increase of almost half a million euros. The biggest winner in the Saarland is winger Jannik Rochelt (24; +150,000 to 400,000 euros), who is the top scorer in the 3rd division with eight goals and seven assists.
BVB youngster Braaf with the biggest minus – Dynamo Dresden behind expectations
Meanwhile, a youngster from Borussia Dortmund II has fallen the most. Jayden Braaf (20) has been devalued for the second time in a row and is now at one million euros after a minus of 500,000 euros. “The striker has not played in a goal in seven third division appearances. In addition, he was not used in the last games before the winter break. After his long knee injury, which prevented him from April 2021 to August 2022, he can no longer repeat his performances from before, when he was considered a great up-and-coming talent,” explains Netzer.
The cutbacks are also being made at Dynamo Dresden, which has so far lagged behind expectations. While the Saxons started the season with the third most valuable squad as promotion favorites, they are currently in midfield. The two long-term injured Luca Herrmann (23; 200,000 euros), Panagiotis Vlachodimos (31; 250,000 euros) and Kevin Ehlers (21; 500,000 euros), each losing 100,000 euros, and Akaki Gogia (30; -75,000 to 425,000) recorded significant devaluations Euro). Came as a king transfer, the right winger is still without a scorer.

The market values of the veterans Marco Höger (33) and Marcel Risse (32) are also being adjusted significantly downwards – primarily for reasons of age. In the case of Mannheimer Höger, whose valuation falls from 450,000 to 325.00 euros, it is also questionable whether he can return to his old level after tearing his cruciate ligament again in September. Risse, for whom it goes from 450,000 to 350,000 euros, has meanwhile gone from being a regular to a rotation player at Viktoria Köln.
This is how the Transfermarkt market values work
The Transfermarkt market values are created taking into account various pricing models and a strong involvement of the Transfermarkt community, which deals with the values in detailed discussions. The transfer market market values are not to be equated with the transfer fees actually paid.
The goal is not to predict a price, but an expected value. When determining the market value, both individual transfer modalities and situational framework conditions are relevant to a certain extent. Examples of this are listed here. Transfermarkt does not use an algorithm (for detailed market value definition).
