Not even Liga 34 is capable of offsetting the ravages of the coronavirus on the market values of the Real Madrid squad. Transfermarkt has updated the appraisals of the players of the white team and the balance shows a slight devaluation of 1.41% of the current Madrid squad. That small percentage translates into a loss of market value of 12.2 million euros. All in all, the total value amounts to 855 million euros. Of the 24 players with whom Zidane has a first-team card, 8 have seen their value increase, 11 have suffered a decrease and the remaining 5 have maintained their value. But there is a nuance to make: the German specialized portal made an extraordinary revaluation of three players on July 23: Courtois, Mendy and Asensio. The Belgian now adds a new rise, while Mendy and Asensio remain with respect to that revision, with which there are 10 players revalued after singing the alirón.
The biggest rise is collected by Fede Valverde. Like other players of his generation, the review that Transfermarkt carried out in April due to the pandemic scenario, reduced the value of the charrúa by 10%, from 60 to 54 million euros. The Uruguayan, 21, has more than recovered. It appreciates 16 million (29.6%) and reaches 70 million euros in market value, the maximum of its still short career. This makes him the second most valuable player in the Madrid squad, equaled by Varane and only surpassed by Courtois.
With a revaluation of 15 million euros (25%), the Belgian goalkeeper becomes the player with the highest market value for Real Madrid. The 28-year-old goalkeeper reaches 75 million euros, its maximum. The rise is even higher if we take into account that Transfermarkt It already revised its price upward in July (the rest of the team, except Mendy and Asensio, maintained their April values) and increased it from 48 to 60 million euros. So the cumulative revaluation of the goal after lockdown is 56%.
Courtois succeeds his compatriot Hazard as Madrid's most valuable player, who falls to fifth position in market values of the white squad. He 7 another 20% is devalued and goes from 80 to 60 million euros. Eden has lost 60% of the 150 million in which he was appraised when he signed for Real Madrid.
The rest of the revaluations of the white campus correspond to Varane, Vinicius, Militao, Kroos, Casemiro and Lunin, although none of them revalued more than 11.1%.
In the chapter on devaluations, the second largest, after Hazard, is Isco, which loses 10 million (25%). The malagueño stays in 30 million euros of appraisal. Several players who have already turned thirty are penalized for their age. With only a few years of career remaining, their market value falls. This is the case of Benzema, Marcelo, Modric, Nacho and Ramos. Although the adjustment is minimal. The captain, for example, has only cut half a million, 3.45%.
The five players who keep their value are Odegaard, Rodrygo (45 million euros for both), Asensio, Carvajal and Mendy (40 million euros each of the three).
