Knowing the valuation of a player is a good way to know what price it can have for potential buyers. A widely used tool to find out how much a player costs is the specialized website Transfermarkt, which takes into account several factors to determine the value of a player at a specific time. Further, from time to time the web adjusts prices (they can go up, down or stay the same) and that can serve as a guide to know the situation in which a player is.
In some countries, like Spain, there are rescission clauses, which is the price that each club sets for its players and for which any club could sign them without having to negotiate. However, in most cases they are exaggerated figures that do not show the real value of that footballer. For example, Thomas' signing cost Arsenal € 50 million, while Transfermarkt valued him at 40 million at the time, so you could say that the 'gunners' paid a surcharge of 10 million (20%).
Recently, specifically last day 8, Transfermarkt performed an update on player ratings (the last was in April). In the case of Athletic, it has been produced some relevant changes in the ranking of the most expensive footballers in the rojiblanco team.

They close the Top10 I gave it (remains at 50 million), Llorente (retains its price of 40 million), Belt (it has increased its price from 32 to 35 million), the last signing, Torreira (still worth 30 million) and Trippier (remains at 28 million).
Has been two other price increases in the mattress template, apart from those already mentioned. Is about Carrasco (from 22.5 to 25 million) and Grbic (from two to seven million). However, up to 10 Atlético players have lost value regarding the last appraisal of Transfermarkt.
