Bundesliga update
RB Leipzig is behind FC Bayern (-70.7 million) in the Bundesliga update, the big loser in terms of squad value. For the Saxons, despite the cup victory and another entry into the Champions League, it is down by around 17 million to 470.2 million euros. Ten “Red Bulls” received demotions, including Mohamed Simakan (23), André Silva (27), Abdou Diallo (27) and David Raum (25), who was downgraded the most. Meanwhile, the popular Dominik Szoboszlai (22), who is apparently also willing to change, is defying the trend in Leipzig. In addition to the playmaker, there are only slight upward adjustments for substitute keeper Janis Blaswich (32) and his representative Oskar Preil (19).
Market values RB Leipzig: Szoboszlai breaks away from Olmo – 10 devaluations
Szoboszlai increases by 10 million to his personal high of 50 million euros. “He’s made a huge step forward this season and that has attracted interest from the Premier League. With his performances, he has arrived in the top group of the Bundesliga and has to constantly prove himself at this level,” Bundesliga market value administrator Tobias Kröger explains the steep rise of the Hungarian national player. This makes Szoboszlai the third most valuable RB professional behind Christopher Nkunku (25) with 80 million and Josko Gvardiol (21), who stands at 75 million euros.
Market value losers at RB Leipzig: Raum, Simakan and Co.
In addition, many players in Leipzig are being cut back: Raum’s market value falls by around 6 million to 14 million euros, which manifests the negative trend in the left-back, who went through the roof last year. “Space is one of the losers of the past season. In the meantime, one can say that he has lost his regular place, which he still held at the start of the season, and that even players from outside the position are preferred to him. Due to a lack of alternatives, he is still a national player,” says Kröger.

In the case of Silva – minus 5 million to 15 million euros – and Diallo – minus 5 million to 10 million euros – the devaluations are also due to performance reasons. After his weakest season in terms of goals since 2017/18, Silva is flirting with a departure from RB. However, the striker sustained a serious thigh injury at the end of May and will probably be out for months. Diallo, however, was unable to assert himself after his loan from PSG in Leipzig and was also absent for weeks at the beginning of the year with knee problems. It had already become apparent in February that the cup winner would not re-sign the former Mainz and BVB defender.
After what was actually a steep rise last year, Simakan’s devaluation by EUR 3 million to EUR 25 million may seem more surprising. Market value expert Kröger explains: “Simakan lacks a permanent role. The Frenchman oscillates between several positions, which on the one hand speaks for his flexible profile, on the other hand he lacks the consistency and a regular place to justify the high market value.
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).
