The best are the Real Madrid players, the worst are the mattress toppers.

Aurélien Tchouameny – 90 million euros (+50 million)

Real Madrid took the main transfer lot from Monaco last summer for 80 million euros – bonuses were also provided: 10 million for 90 matches, the same amount for the Ballon d’Or. It’s time for the creamy midfielders to renew their midfield line – and the Frenchman has become the successor to Casemiro, who went to Manchester United.

Aurelien quickly established himself in the company of Kroos and Modric. Of the 14 La Liga matches, the defender has played in 12 and only in one of them did he come on as a substitute. On average, Tchuameni makes 2.3 tackles and 1.8 interceptions per game – these are the best indicators on the team. The young Frenchman is already an important part of the Ancelotti system at Real Madrid.

Gavi – 90 million (+ 50 million)

Barcelona are very lucky in midfielders. Now the creative centers of the team are Pedri and Gavi. The first is simply ubiquitous – it appears in those areas where there is not enough dynamics with the ball. The second adds reliability – he moves quickly in the tackle and gives a huge amount of work with the ball. Furthermore, in 2022, the 18-year-old Spaniard received the Golden Boy award, another confirmation of his talent.

The young Blaugrana are lucky to have Busquets as coach and to train under Xavi, both have absorbed Barça’s DNA and embody the midfield position.

Rodrigo – 80 million (+40 million)

The 21-year-old Brazilian winger is a symbol of Real Madrid’s transfer path. Recently, Real has turned to the market for Brazilian players: it follows young talents, immediately secures their rights and brings them in when they turn 18. A recent example of such a policy is Andrik. And Rodrigo ended up the same way at the Spanish Grand Prix.

The wing follows the path of Vinicius, but the latter already consistently shows the highest level, and Rodrigo reaches only such heights. In 12 La Liga appearances, he has already equaled last year’s scoring standard: this season will be the best in the promising striker’s career.

Federico Valverde – 100 million (+35 million)

The Uruguayan has been playing for Real Madrid for a long time, but only now has his influence on the team’s game begun to be expressed in the number of goals and assists. The fact is that Federico has been moved closer to the attack: if in the previous season he remained in his native position of midfielder and was more often a rotation player, now he starts much more often as a right winger.

Marcos Llorente – 35 million (- 25 million)

The Real Madrid graduate peaked at Atlético Madrid and was valued at €80m. But that was the reward for the Mattress Builders’ Championship season and the club’s current decline has found expression in the transfer value of players. Head coach Diego Simeone rightly notes that the composition of Real Madrid has not changed since the “golden” season, so the responsibility for the current results lies with the mentor.

Atlético have only recently returned to their usual third place, but could drop to fourth place. And in European competitions, the club is a failure. The Spaniards were left without spring Champions League and THE.

Summing up, such a drop in prices is to be attributed to the return to an objective level after the championship, out of the norm, and to the last performance of the entire team.

Antoine Griezmann – 25 million (- 25 million)

Another confirmation of what was written above is that there are 3 Atletico players in the top five of the antitope at once.

The main drop in the Frenchman’s market price occurred after his move to Barcelona: the dream of the Catalans turned into a disappointment in reality, Antoine did not take root in the team and returned to Simeone. Upon returning, the striker began to receive less playing time: the “mattress” wanted to avoid the mandatory 40 million euro buyout clause and agree on a lower amount.

At the same time, Griezmann is productive again – 5 goals and 5 assists in 15 La Liga matches. So we should expect that at the end of the season the price for the 31-year-old Frenchman will rise.

Memphis Depay – 20 million (- 25 million)

The Dutchman lost in Barcelona – due to injury he missed 8 league games, but before that he was on the bench for four games. He took part in two matches: he scored against Elche and was without effective action against Cadiz.

In the previous season he looked better, so he kept the bar at 45 million euros. However, most of the goals for the last championship fell in the first half, and due to a draw in the second half, the cost of the Dutch striker began to gradually decline.

Youssef al-Nesiri – 15 million (- 25 million)

One of the players who broke out world Cup-2022 of the Moroccan national team, En-Nesiri was valuable to the team not with goals, but with actions under pressure. For 7 World Cup matches, he scored only for Canada and Portugal, but these goals became victorious.

Inconspicuous heroes usually don’t receive impressive price tags – in addition, Youssef also had a club-wide goal drought. Only here in Seville has he lost his place at the start and in 10 La Liga games he hasn’t scored at all.

The problem of the 25-year-old Moroccan is also that the coach left the club, under which he showed his best football. En-Nesiri scored 18 goals in the 2020/21 season under Lopetegui, but now the coach is in charge of Wolverhampton, and the striker will have to get used to Jorge Sampaoli.
