The pandemic undermines Neymar's fortress . The Brazilian is the footballer who has lost the highest price due to the slowdown caused by the Covid-19 infections. Before the parenthesis, the Paris Saint-Germain striker treasured a market valuation of 160 million euros and now this figure has dropped to 128 million, according to reports prepared by Transfermartk, the German platform specialized in monitoring transfers of soccer players. These studies are carried out with algorithms on performance, age, projection, team membership and the influence of the leagues in which the players participate. It is foreseeable that the value of the scorer of PSG will decrease in the coming weeks due to the cancellation of the French League. The opposite would happen with the players of the Bundesliga and the competitions that will start imminently: the Spanish, the Italian and the English.
On average, the price of footballers since the beginning of the year has decreased by 20%, according to the cross-checking of data prepared by Transfermarkt since the end of 2019 and those published in April. In the list of the 10 most sought-after players, Neymar and Raheem Sterling (Manchester City) are the ones that yield the most in absolute numbers: 32 million. The skilled British striker will regain some consistency with the return of the Premier.
The heads of the clubs, footballers and the media in France regret that the government closed the league tournament in a rush. They believe that they should have waited longer to see the evolution of the pandemic.
From the moment Emmanuel Macron decided to close, Nasser bin Ghanim Al-Khelaifi , owner of PSG, warned that the measure was very harmful for an entity that aspired to the maximum in the Champions League. If in the end the continental competition is disputed, the Parisian squad would participate in unequal conditions. The Qatari leader observes how his stars depreciate every week, while other emerging values, such as Erling Haaland, rise whole with the revival of the Bundesliga. The slim Norwegian striker, at just 19 years old, is already 21st in the ranking of the players with the highest cache on the market.
According to Transfermarkt, Borussia Dortmund's scorer is worth 72 million, just eight million less than before the quarantine, a figure well below the 32 million lost by Neymar and Sterling. Behind both, there is the quartet composed of Mané , Salah , Kane , De Bruyne , with losses of 30 million. (See attached table). Next is Kylian Mbappé (leader in the Transfermarkt classification), which has gone from 200 million to 180. The PSG striker has yielded 20 million, but in percentage he only represents 10%, half the majority average. In the list of the 10 privileged, with only a loss of 10%, only two other players appear: Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool). This trio is favored by their age, since none is over 22 years old.
The footballers, according to Transfermarkt, have devalued their price by 20% during the confinement, a margin that approximates the results extracted from a study by the KPMG Auditor (company that has awarded Real Madrid the title of Most Valuable Club), which estimates that, as a whole, footballers will lose 17.7% of their price with closed-door championships and 26.5% if they are not resumed, as is the case with the French League. A catastrophe for the market and for the countries that have temporarily parked football, so it was not surprising that the newspaper L'Equipe had the title 'Like idiots?' shortly after the return of football in Spain, England and Italy was confirmed. "We see that our leaders have drawn different conclusions, and now we can say that we are really assholes," said Jean Michel Aulas , Lyon president.
The owner of PSG foresees a loss of 200 million and to alleviate the deficit he has proposed to lower the salary of the players, who could stop receiving more than 30%. Difficult times for representatives and managers, who fear that this summer there will be a 50% decrease in business transactions.
The coffers of the clubs have slimmed down due to the absence of television broadcasts, static advertising and ticket sales, so that bartering and loan management appear with more feasible alternatives to cushion the crisis. Barcelona and Real Madrid , which can sign from July 1 to September 1, will not cause earthquakes. There will be few hires and second rank.
A turbulent and downward market, as has been certified with the first major signing at the end of the campaign. Paris Saint-Germain will pay Inter a little over 50 million - 10 less than those assessed by Transfermartk - for the acquisition of Mauro Icardi . A year ago, the Argentine was worth close to 100 million. The pandemic dictates a forced austerity.
