Complete update JPL
Club Brugge was the big surprise in the group stage of the Champions League and qualified for the knockout stage for the first time after just four games. This success is also reflected in the Belgium Jupiler Pro League market value update, in which the total value of the squad jumps to €184.2m – never since the introduction of Transfermarkt market values in 2004 has a Belgian club had a more valuable one squad.
Protagonists of international success such as attacker Ferran Jutglà (23), who came from FC Barcelona before the season and is now a serious candidate for the Spanish World Cup squad, or Raphael Onyedika (21), another summer signing, increase their values significantly. While Jutglà goes up from 7 million to 14 million euros, Onyedika increases by 5 million and is now valued at 13 million euros.
Meanwhile, the biggest winner of the full update is defender Abakar Sylla. Hardly anyone in Belgium was counting on the 19-year-old before the season, but in the meantime Sylla has made a name for herself with strong performances and even a goal against Leverkusen. For him it goes from 1.5 million to 9 million euros. A player from the reigning Belgian champions is also enthroned at the top of the league: Andreas Skov Olsen (22) booked a 5 million plus to 20 million euros and is now the undisputed top of the league.
Lang loses 1st place: Most valuable players in the Jupiler Pro League
This is also because there are not only winners among his teammates, but also losers. Noa Lang (22), one of the best players in the league last season, has been fighting for a regular place for weeks and is far from the top form of the previous year. The result is a minus from previously 19 million to 15 million euros. “So far, the record signing of the summer, Roman Yaremchuk, hasn’t caught fire either,” explains Area Manager Bart Tamsyn another devaluation at Bruges. “The transfer fee in the summer was just above the market value, which can no longer be justified given the course of the season so far. Yaremchuk has clearly only played a supporting role so far.” The consequence is a devaluation of the 26-year-old from 15 million to 12 million euros.
Market values Belgium: Future Leipziger Vandevoordt rises at Genk
While Brugge set the highlights in the Champions League, KRC Genk played well in the league and leads the table by seven points. Accordingly, the squad includes numerous market value winners such as future Leipzig keeper Maarten Vandevoordt (+3 to 9 million) or top scorer Mike Trésor (23), who has already scored five goals and provided twelve assists in 15 games. Its market value increases from EUR 4.5 million to EUR 8 million.
The past few weeks have been somewhat weaker for former league leaders Royal Antwerpen FC. Nevertheless, here too there are 28-year-old Vincent Janssen (28; +1.5 to 6 million), 22-year-old Alhassan Yusuf (+1.5 to 6 million) or 27-year-old goalkeeper Jean Butez ( +1 to 6m) some market value winners. Nice loanee Calvin Stengs (-2m to 11m) is among the players who have been devalued.
RSC Anderlecht big losers in market value update in Belgium
The clear loser of the update is RSC Anderlecht. Numerous supposed top performers have disappointed the record champions, who are only in 10th place, in the course of the season so far, which is now leading to devaluations. Whether Yari Verschaeren (-3 to 10 million), Francis Amuzu (-1.5 to 6.5 million), Hendrik Van Crombrugge (-1.5 to 4 million) or Wesley Hoedt (-1.5 to 3 .5 million) – a total of 20 Anderlecht players receive a devaluation, which leads to a total loss of the squad value of 7.4 million euros.
“The fact that it doesn’t go further down is mainly due to a few young talents who, despite the sporting crisis, were able to show their potential and are very interesting for clubs from abroad,” says Area Manager Tamsyn. Central defender Zeno Debast (19) could even make it into Belgium’s World Cup squad, doubling his market value to €8m in the latest update. Meanwhile, the only 16-year-old Julien Duranville is currently considered to be the greatest talent from Anderlecht’s talent pool, which, in addition to some promising first professional appearances, gives him an increase from one million to 5 million euros.
Other talents who have attracted more attention recently and are now being upgraded include Standard Liège’s Cihan Canak (+3.5m to 4m), Genks Bilal El Khannouss (+1m to 4.5m) and von Brighton loaned to Saint Gilloise Simon Adingra (+2 to 6m).
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).
