It is obvious that Marcos Llorente's advance from midfield to attack has meant a radical change in his career and in his situation at Atlético, but it has also caused a jump in its price. According to the specialized portal Transfermarkt, the footballer was valued in April at 16 million euros and now at 40 million, within a market declining due to the global crisis due to the pandemic.
