Intermediate update Spain
Transfermarkt.es has updated the market values of LaLiga in an interim update. The biggest winner is FC Barcelona, the team of the hour: Under coach Xavi, the Catalans last lost in the league at the beginning of December and are not only among the best-formed clubs in Europe after beating Real Madrid 4-0 in the Clásico – the squad value is increasing 28 million to 679 million euros.
Youngster Gavi is a regular part of the starting line-up, and with a jump from EUR 40m to EUR 60m, he posted the biggest upgrade. The 17-year-old midfielder only got his first market value at the beginning of the season after he was called up by ex-coach Ronald Koeman. In the market value ranking of talents born in 2004, he increases his lead over second-placed Youssoufa Moukoko (BVB) to 45 million euros.
“At the age of 17, Gavi brings an impressive overall package: playful flexibility, technical skills, intensity, courage and mental strength. A contract extension in Barcelona would be a milestone for the club in the search for the old stability. Gavi embodies Barça DNA throughout his demeanor. He has all the abilities to play a major role in the club and the national team and thanks to increasing scorer values, he has made another leap in market value,” explains Tobias Blaseio, Area Manager Transfermarkt Spain.

Barça are also up for Ronald Araújo, who has become an integral part of the Blaugrana defense and has reached a career high of €40m (+5m), and Nico González (+5 to €25m). €).
Many devaluations at Real Madrid for Hazard, Bale & Co.
Many of the market values for the loser of the Clásico go in the other direction: Real Madrid lost the most of all LaLiga clubs at EUR 23.5 million – the lead in terms of squad value and LaLiga points remains large. Players whose market value curve has already pointed downwards in the past updates are primarily responsible for the minus.
->
Daniel Carvajal (-2 to €18m), Luka Jovic (-2 to €18m), Eden Hazard (-2 to €16m), Gareth Bale (-2 to €3m) and Isco ( -1.5 to €7.5 million) all show small devaluations, which are equally related to moderate performance and regular places on the substitutes’ bench or in the stands. Especially with Hazard, who was only used in eight games this year, the good form gave way to pale appearances shortly before Christmas. Since moving to Real in 2019, no other footballer in the world has had such a large market value loss as the Belgian.
With Moriba, Martial & Gil: Biggest market value losers in LaLiga (March 2022)
The biggest devaluation in Carlo Ancelotti’s team and at the same time in the whole league is due to a 30-year-old regular player: Casemiro. Blasio says: “The Brazilian is starting the autumn of his career. Despite the renewed devaluation, he remains in a top position when considering position and age group. The perennial favorite, which ensures stability and success in Real midfield, is partly to be noted that he is overplayed and would need more breaks. When it comes down to it, however, it is usually just as reliable as you know it and therefore continues to be indispensable.”
“A permanent replacement for him is not yet in sight, Real Madrid should see that they allow Casemiro appropriate time-outs in the future in order to be able to benefit from his quality for many more years to come,” says Blaseio. Despite the devaluation from €60m to €50m, the Brazilian is in the top three of all over-30 midfielders – level with Chelsea’s N’Golo Kanté (30).
Villarreal’s Arnaut Danjuma, who had a market value of EUR 12 million exactly one year ago, is now also valued at EUR 50 million (+ EUR 10 million). “The high-flyer at Villarreal shows why he should become a transfer target for many English clubs in the summer. Liverpool and Manchester United are the names traded in the press. With 17 scorers in 27 games and several strong performance records in the Champions League, further upgrading is therefore necessary. In the summer we will see whether the Dutchman leaves a hefty fee for the quarter-finalists in the premier class or whether one can continue to admire a difference player in LaLiga,” said Blaseio.
While the Dutch left winger was bought by AFC Bournemouth in 2021 for €23.5m, right winger Yéremy Pino was used at the age of 16 for the Yellow Submarine youth team. The 19-year-old national player makes another leap and increases his strong performance from 30 million to 40 million euros – he extended his contract in November until 2027. Spain expert Blaseio says about Pino: “The Canary is a street footballer from the textbook. Technically a feast for the eyes and carefree in his game. A kind of uncut diamond. But Unai Emery has the best coaching qualities to support Pino on his way. More continuity over 90 minutes and stability in performance would now be desirable.”

Things are going very differently and not at all according to plan for another 19-year-old talent: Ilaix Moriba. RB Leipzig took the midfielder from FC Barcelona in 2021 for a fee of 16 million euros and has since been waiting for the class that Moriba flashed in the Barça jersey – the same applies to loan club FC Valencia, where his market value has dropped from 20 million to 10 million. euros decreases.
“Ilaix had certainly imagined his career development differently. After his ugly departure from Barcelona, he now had the opportunity in Valencia to show his many critics in Spain. So far, however, the result has been so poor that a possible extension of his loan should be rather uninteresting from the club’s point of view. Moriba now has to make sure that he finds an environment in which he can steer his career on a more stable path, ”blaseio explains the devaluation.
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).
