77 million access Jhon Durán von Al-Nassr, the Saudi Pro League market value update properly, but keeps his status as the most valuable player. Cristiano Ronaldo not only defended his status as the world’s most valuable Ü40 footballer, but also-as one of the few stars in the league-has retained its market value. After the end of the season, transfer market has updated the ratings of 471 footballers in the Saudi football upper house. The total value of the league drops considerably.
In this update, the devaluing dominate. A total of 46 players collect a minus of at least one million euros, for five of which it is at least 5 million euros down. The largest loser is Aleksandar Mitrović (Al-Hilal), who falls by 7 million to 18 million euros. “The minus for him is mainly due to his advancing age. Mitrović will soon be 31.
The red pencil is also scheduled for the former Bundesliga professional Moussa Diaby (Al-Ortihad) and Mohamed Simakan (Al-Nassr)-both pay for EUR 5 million. Diaby is now evaluated with 30 million and Simakan with 23 million euros. Also at 5 million euros for Durán (35 million) and Gabri Veiga (18 million) from Al-Ali. The market values of Durán and Diaby are adapted to the level of the league, while Veiga should stand for FC Porto before returning to Europe and change the market value for a transfer. “Simakan played a weak year, he flew off the pitch twice and was unable to justify the transfer fee of 35 million euros,” says Radziejewski.
The biggest plus recorded Julián Quiñones with an increase of 2 million to EUR 12 million. The striker of Al-Qadsiah scored 18 goals in 19 games and took second place in the goal scorer list without a penalty behind Karim Benzema. Quiñones is the eyes of expert Radziejewski “one of the shooting stars of the league”: “He has almost shot promoted Al-Qadsiah together with veteran Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Cristiano Ronaldo became the top scorer with 25 goals in 30 league games – he confirms its market value of 12 million euros at the age of 40, which is an absolute rarity in this Atler. Much suggests that it should have been his last season at Al-Nassr.
Goalkeepers are increasingly frolic among the most valuable footballers beyond 40. In terms of market value, Ronaldo Ex-PSG professional Thiago Silva followed with 800,000 euros and the former Bayern defender Dante with 500,000 euros.
In the squad values of the Saudi league, Al-Qadsiah (67.9 million) is the only team with a plus-but it is low at EUR 1.2 million. The remaining 17 teams are less worth it than before the update and overall the total value of the league drops by EUR 114 million. The SPL thus loses its status as a billion dollar league and now has a low value than the top 10-league in Europe.
“Above all, there are two reasons for this,” says Radziejewski: “On the one hand, hardly any of the top teams was able to permanently convince and mostly remained behind their own expectations. Surprise teams that played sustainably also failed to materialize. On the other hand, the top performers of most clubs are already at an advanced age, which is usually not an upgrading in Europe. the highest age average. “
This is how the transfer market market values work
The transfer market market values are taken into account, taking into account various pricing models and a strong inclusion of the transfer market community, which deals with the values in detailed discussions. The transfer market values are not to be equated with the transfer sums actually paid.
The goal is not to predict a price, but an expectation value. When collecting the market value, both individual transfer modalities and situational framework conditions are relevant to a certain extent. Examples are listed here. Transfer market does not use algorithm (for detailed market value definition).
