Market values ​​Premier League: Upgrades for 7 entries from the Bundesliga

2 players crack 100 million

The Premier League is the first top 5 league to get new market values ​​this autumn and in the most expensive market in the world there are two new players who have broken the 100 million mark – there are now 13 footballers worldwide. Despite a weak start to the season, Chelsea overtakes Real Madrid in terms of squad value, Brighton & Hove Albion overtakes BVB as the biggest winner and the most valuable league increases its total market value by around 630 million euros to 11 billion euros (to the league overview).

For 31 Premier League professionals it’s up to 10 million euros or more. These include Arsenal’s Declan Rice and Manchester City’s triple guarantee Rodri, who impressively show how valuable defensive midfielders are in football today. Daniel Busch, Area Manager Transfer market UK, says: “After his record transfer to Arsenal, Rice settled in very quickly and is reliably fulfilling his leadership role. Together with Man City’s Rodri, who also rises by 10 million, there are now five footballers in England with a market value beyond 100 million euros.”

Nothing changes at the top of the Premier League market values ​​this time, “Citizens” striker Erling Haaland continues to sit above Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka and City colleague Phil Foden.

Chelsea signing Moisés Caicedo is also approaching 100 million euros, completing the trio of the three most valuable “sixes” in the world. The Ecuadorian increases by 15 million to 90 million euros and ensures that the Blues, who have been disappointing in terms of sport, go up in terms of squad value: after an increase of 73 million, Chelsea’s squad with a market value of 999 million euros overtakes Real Madrid (991 million) – but 1.01 billion euros were paid in transfer fees. The “Royal” team “only” cost 573 million euros.

“Despite the weak start to the season and five devaluations, Chelsea recorded the third-largest increase in market value in the league. On the one hand, this is due to the many expensive summer transfers that had to be adjusted upwards, such as Caicedo, Roméo Lavia, Cole Palmer and Lesley Ugochukwu. And on the other hand, the young loan returns Ian Maatsen and Levi Colwill, for whom high transfer fees were offered in the summer and who are now getting more playing time,” explains Busch.

Market value winner Ferguson could be Brighton’s next €100m transfer

In terms of sport, things are going well again for Brighton, who were able to maintain their form from last season despite notable departures and the market value curve of coach Roberto De Zerbi’s team also continues to point upwards: Evan Ferguson (+35 to €65 million), Kaoru Mitoma (+18 to 50 million) and Carlos Baleba (+15 to 20 million) are among the league’s three biggest winners.

“The biggest plus from the update goes to Evan Ferguson, who after Caicedo could become the next player to leave Brighton for a fee north of €100 million. “The 18-year-old is getting more and more minutes, scored a hat-trick against Newcastle and is the biggest striker talent in the most expensive market in the world for the best selling club,” said Busch. Ferguson is currently the most valuable teenager in the football world after Gavi from FC Barcelona (U20 statistics). The bottom line is that the “Seagulls” squad value increases by 92 million to 468 million euros, putting them one million ahead of BVB.

The only squad that will lose market value as a result of this update is Manchester United’s. After four appreciations and six devaluations, there is a small minus of 5 million euros. While summer signing Rasmus Højlund (+20 to 65 million) is climbing thanks to his high transfer fee, the Red Devils’ winger, who costs 180 million euros, is being redlined: Antony (-10 to 50 million) and Jadon Sancho (- 13 to 32 million) are therefore far from the transfer fees paid for them.

About the former BVB star, Busch says: “The second biggest loss goes to Sancho, who was recently no longer part of the squad and was suspended from training by coach Erik ten Hag after alleged indiscipline. Since his transfer in 2021, he has lost almost 70 million euros in market value and can leave United in January.” Other notable market value losers include Man United’s Marcus Rashford (-5 to 75 million), Chelsea duo Reece James (-10 to 55 million) and Wesley Fofana (-15 to 40 million) as well as Tottenham’s Richarlison (-8 to 40 million) and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (-13 to 32 million).

Szoboszlai, Endo & Co.: Increase in market value for seven additions from the Bundesliga

There are seven entries from the Bundesliga going up. The biggest winner among them is Dominik Szoboszlai (+20 to 70 million), whose new market value corresponds to the release clause activated by Liverpool. “He is naturally a very confident boy and that helps, but it is also very hard work and you can see that today,” said Jürgen Klopp about the ex-Leipziger’s quick adaptation to his new team.

There is also an increase for his Reds colleagues Ryan Gravenberch (+5 to 35 million) and Wataru Endo (+6.5 to 13 million), as well as for Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven (+10 to 40 million), Man City’s Josko Gvardiol (+5 to 80 million), now the most valuable defender in the world with teammate Rúben Dias, Aston Villa’s Moussa Diaby (+5 to 55 million) and Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken (+2 to 12 million).

The former Bundesliga professionals who are playing in their second year on the island include ex-Unioner Taiwo Awoniyi (+5 to 30 million), who is at Nottingham Forest, and ex-HSV talent Amadou Onana (+5 to 50 million). The latter quickly became one of the most valuable “sixes” in the world via the detour LOSC Lille. Onana alone today has a higher market value than the entire “Rothosen” squad (42.5 million), from which he said goodbye in 2021. Things are going less smoothly for Thilo Kehrer (-5 to 13 million), who is mostly just a substitute in his second season at West Ham. After recovering from a cruciate ligament injury, this also applies to Wolverhampton’s Sasa Kalajdzic (-3 to 12 million).

This is how transfer market market values ​​work

The transfer market market values ​​are created taking into account various pricing models as well as a strong involvement of the transfer market community, which deals with the values ​​in detailed discussions. The transfer market market values ​​cannot generally be equated with the transfer fees actually paid.

The goal is not to predict a price, but rather an expected value. When determining the market value, both individual transfer modalities and situational conditions are relevant to a certain extent. Examples of this are listed here. Transfermarkt does not use an algorithm (for detailed market value definition).
