Atlético can continue to boast of its squad. The League title brought recognition for the protagonists capable of lift the trophy for the second time in the Simeone era and also the award in the form of a growth in the market value for the specialized website Transfermarkt (except for cases such as Oblak, which lost its price due to the general decline in the page to goalkeepers).
And now, international tournaments have also had a clear red-and-white tinge, with seven Atlético players in the Eurocup and six in the Copa América, already counting the newly signed De Paul. The Argentine midfielder is precisely one of the players who have increased their market value after the tournament, where he had a capital role for the albiceleste to take the title. Signed from Udinese, De Paul assisted Di María with the final goal and left an extraordinary match against Brazil. Now, its price increases from 38 to 40 million, raising again the top in his career and with a bar that has not stopped growing in recent seasons. At 27, you can keep pulling up.
Correa, also champion of the Copa América, although with a minor role, is another of the great growths in Atlético. In your case It has been established in the same 40 million that it already had in 2017 and his fantastic course, earning his place in the Cholo schemes despite starting as a substitute, keep him as an essential player in the rojiblanco scheme. And Carrasco has lived a whole roller coaster, leaving Atlético in 2018 after having reached over 40 million, falling in China until the age of 20 and regaining splendor and recognition on his return to the club to repeat those 40 million worth today.
Three players still with a lot of room for improvement who raise the roof of the team, although they are not yet among the most sought after for Transfermarkt. And is that Atlético has five players with a value of 60 million or more, which leads him to place them among the 16 most expensive in LaLiga. The largest jump is that of Marcos Llorente, currently the most valuable footballer in the squad together with João Félix with 80 million each, a figure only surpassed by De Jong's 90. In April 2020, just over a year ago, Llorente had dropped its price to 16 million. A leap in quality that began to be seen at Anfield and that has ended a brutal season that already places it as one of the main attractions of the Spanish competition.
In addition to '14' and João Félix, Oblak's 70 million value and Koke and Giménez's 60 million mean that Atlético is, together with Barcelona, the team with the most representatives in the top of LaLiga. And that taking into account that one of the five Blaugrana footballers is a Griezmann who has negotiated his return to the rojiblanco club and that, despite losing price, It is in the 60 million value. A figure, yes, much lower than the 150 million in which he came to be valued in his time at Atlético and less than half that he had when he left Simeone's command (€ 130M). Details that continue to show that the rojiblanco team continues to grow, is doing things well and is a heavyweight in LaLiga.
