The market closure bomb was a triple operation over the horn that moved Saul, Griezmann and Luuk de Jong. The transfer of the French from the Camp Nou to the Wanda Metropolitano is a new leap in quality in Atleti’s attack and it seems to weaken Barça. The consequence is also seen in somewhat more global terms. According to the analysis of Transfermarkt, portal specialized in appraisal, with this signing the rojiblanca squad is already worth more than the azulgrana.
Thus, with the teams already closed, Atlético’s has a value of 755.2 million, compared to the 696 in which Barça’s is estimated. The day before, the Catalan was worth 766 and the Madrid, 738.9. Griezmann is rated at 60; Saúl, at 40 and De Jong, at 10. On the 30th, both were worth more than the 728.5 of the Real Madrid which, with the arrival of Camavinga (valued at 55 million) gives the sorpasso and is set to 783.5.
The Atleti, yes, has three players less than Real Madrid (22 by 25), so in proportion the rojiblancos footballers are more valuable (€ 34.3 million for € 31.3, and those from Barça € 25.8). The player with the highest market value in LaLiga is Frenkie de Jong, with 90 million. And then his partner goes Pedri, Llorente and João Félix, valued at € 80M. The most valued madridista is Casemiro, 70 million, the same as Oblak.
The summer market: De Paul, Alaba, Memphis …
Obviously, Barça is the one who has most noticed its devaluation in this market. Before Griezmann, Messi left, valued at 80 million, and at the last minute too Emerson, valued at 25. In exchange they have arrived Memphis (€ 45M), Eric Garcia (20) and Omen (18), as pieces of more value.
From Madrid, for his part, he left Varane, its most sought-after player (€ 70M), in addition to Bouquets (10) and Odriozola (10), but they have arrived Camavinga and Alaba (55) to revalue the workforce, in addition to the returns of Ceballos (27), Jovic (20) and Bale (18).
At Atlético there have been fewer movements. Before the Griezmann-Saúl earthquake, the loaners left Torreira and Dembélé, valued at € 20M each, but they have come for them De Paul (40) and Cunha (30). According to these terms, Simeone has improved its staff in each operation.
