League MX
Transfermarkt has made an interim update of the market values in the Mexican Liga MX. Around 250 player profiles were updated, some included in the market value analysis for the first time. The two most valuable players to date, Carlos Rodríguez from Cruz Azul and Florian Thauvin from Tigres, suffered a minus in this context, but the Frenchman remains the leader in the league’s internal market value ranking.
Some of the pros who are part of Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino’s national team have enjoyed upgrades, including America’s Emilio Lara, Pachuca’s Erick Sánchez and Guadalajara’s Alexis Vega. The latter, like Charly Rodríguez, are among the most valuable Mexicans in the league.
Liga MX: World Cup candidates boost market values
The close competition for a place at the World Cup in Qatar was also reflected in some players in terms of market value: CF America’s Henry Martín and Emilio Lara caught the eye with convincing performances and became leaders in the national team as well. The Yucatecan forward finished top scorer in Liga MX and boasted the best stats of his career so far – as a result, his market value has been adjusted upwards to €4.5 million. This also corresponds to his personal high, which he last reached a year ago. Lara unfolded his potential after Jorge Sánchez’s departure to Ajax and increased his value to €1.5m.
In addition, two other upgrades stand out: Jesús Orozco Chiquete from Déportivo belonged to one of the best defensive departments in the league and doubled his market value, while team-mate Alexis Vega was able to increase his value by another 500,000 euros to now 8 million euros – many bring the left winger with them a possible move to Europe.
The successful year of CF Pachuca, which wants to compete again for the title with players from its own academy as the pillars of the team led by Guillermo Almada, was also reflected in the update: Kevin Álvarez, Luis Chávez (each from 5 to now €6m) and Erick Sánchez (from €7.5m to €8m) were able to increase their value. Things also went up for Álvaro Fidalgo (from €4m to €6m), Rodrigo Aguirre (from €2m to €4.5m), Nicolás Ibáñez (from €6m to €7.5m) and Valber Huerta (from 0.5 to €2 million).
Sporting crisis: devaluations at Cruz Azul and León FC
However, some players from Cruz Azul and León FC had to accept devaluations, whose sporting stability had recently faltered: The Skyblues fired Diego Aguirre after their disastrous start to the season, a total of six players in the squad lost, including Carlos Rodríguez (from 10 to 8 million euros). .€), Luis Abram (€6-4m) and Ángel Romero (€5-2.5m).
Yairo Moreno is also in a slump (from €7m to €4.5m). Another big deprecation within the interim update is that of Liga MX MVP: Florian Thauvin. The Frenchman lost another €2m and is now at the €10m mark – when he moved from Marseille last summer his value was estimated at €17m. Other notable devaluations went to Carlos González (from €4m to €3m), Luis ‘Chaka’ Rodríguez (from €2m to €1.2m), Rogelio Funes Mori (from €4.5m to 4) and Darwin Machís (from €6m to €1m). to €4 million).
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).
