Update in the A League
After the market value update in the Australian A-League, there is a new leader who is also known from Germany: At Darmstadt 98, Jamie Maclaren (29) was not happy during his seven appearances in the second division in 2017/18, but is completely different But that has been since the striker went on the hunt for goals for Melbourne City FC, part of the City Football Group. Maclaren increases his market value by 200,000 to around 2 million euros, making him the most valuable player in the league.
The Melbourne-born goalscorer has scored 93 goals and 13 assists in 118 competitive games for his club since joining in January 2019 and is currently the top scorer for the league leaders with 18 goals from 22 games. With his plus, Maclaren overtakes three professionals who are being reassessed for the first time since moving to Australia and are all losing in terms of market value: team-mate Valon Berisha (30), who, like Sydney FC’s Joe Lolley (30), is up 700,000 to 1 .8 million euros and Morgan Schneiderlin (33) from the Western Sydney Wanderers, who falls by one million to 1.5 million euros.
Also known from German football are Mathew Leckie (32) from Melbourne City and Marcelo (35) and Brandon Borrello (27), who are active in Sydney together with Schneiderlin. Leckie’s and Marcelo’s market values decrease due to age by 100,000 and 200,000 euros respectively to 700,000 and 800,000 euros. Borrello, who moved to his home country from Dresden last summer and recently returned to the national team, has meanwhile increased by 200,000 to 700,000 euros.
The biggest star in the league once again has bad luck with injuries: Nani (36) from Melbourne Victory. The Portuguese European champion of 2016, who went to South Australia from Venice in the summer of 2022, will be out even longer with partial damage to the cruciate ligament. After a minus of 200,000, Nani is now at 500,000 euros.
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).
