Market values ​​Scotland: Rangers around Kent lose, Celtic increases

Bayern loan Tillman increases

Celtic got ahead of Rangers early in the Premiership. This is also noticeable in the market value development in the Scottish House of Lords. In an update of all non-World Cup drivers, out of eight players who will be raised by a million, six are in coach Ange Postecoglu’s team. The Rangers, on the other hand, have the youngster with the largest percentage increase in their ranks. And Bayern loan Malik Tillman is also growing strongly.

In addition to Moritz Jenz (+1.5 million euros), Greg Taylor (+1.5 million euros), Reo Hatate (+1.8 million euros) and Matt O’Riley (+2.7 million euros) Celtic were particularly impressed by former Benfica talent Jota, who, after numerous devaluations in Portugal and Spain, is now being significantly upgraded in Scotland for the third time in a row.

“Jota was one of the better Celtic players in a gloomy Champions League season, scored twice and created numerous chances,” summarizes market value admin Julian Gieseke. “Since his initial loan move he has played a central role in Celtic’s attack and as he has continued to underpin last season’s performances so far after his permanent signing the path in terms of market value can only go up.” A plus of £3.5m results in a new career high of 11 million euros for Jota. That’s a difference of €7.5m in a year and a half since he arrived in Glasgow.

Kent & Morelos epitomize the situation of Rangers – winners King & Tillman

In the case of the Rangers, who were dethroned as champions in the summer, the shoe pinched, especially in the Champions League, where all preliminary round games were lost. But also in the Premiership five of the first 15 games could not be won. Compared to Celtic, Ibrox quickly fell behind given the uncompromising nature of their 14-time city rivals. “The Gers” still have the higher squad value, but the gap is reduced to just over 8 million euros in the update. Celtic are up 6.45 million euros collectively and Rangers are down 5.3 million euros.

Devastating for the Blues: Ryan Kent (26) – still the most valuable player in the league – loses 3.5 million euros. “Still a decisive factor in the last Europa League season, Kent was unstable this season and couldn’t meet the high expectations,” says Gieseke. “His contract expires at the end of the season and it is reported that Rangers are considering accepting a low offer for him in January as well.”

And Alfredo Morelos (26) also seems to have passed the zenith for the time being after years of unfulfilled rumors about a top transfer. The Colombian striker’s form has suffered noticeably over the year. The result is a devaluation of EUR 3 million to just EUR 10 million. Second place in the market value ranking of the Premiership is handed over to Jota by Morelos – now tied with team-mate James Tavernier (31). The Rangers triumvirate at the top is broken.

There are still some profiteers at Rangers, such as top scorer Antonio Colak (29). The Ludwigshafen native and former Nuremberg and Darmstadt Bundesliga professional has improved his market value by EUR 2.5 million to EUR 5.5 million after scoring 14 goals in 24 Rangers appearances. 18-year-old Leon King even climbs to ten times his previous figure and breaks the million mark in his first real professional season. Most recently, the young defender was part of the permanent staff under coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst, who was fired during the World Cup break – as was Bayern Munich’s Tillman. The Nuremberg native, who has a purchase option, increases by EUR 1.3 million to EUR 2.8 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).
