Miranchuk has also grown in price.
The price of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has skyrocketed – now it is estimated at the level of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Anthony and Grealish. Here are some updates on Serie A transfer costs (according to Transfermarkt).
Naples in first place
The Neapolitans have shown brilliant football since the beginning of the season and are leading the Italian championship, leaving no way out for their competitors. The details of the puzzle fit together perfectly: Kim Min-jae, Frank Anguissa, Hvicha who entered fit perfectly into Luciano Spalletti’s system, and the other leaders maintain last year’s pace.
For this reason, albeit belatedly, the Italian giant has become the leader of the championship in terms of total cost of the team’s players. The greatest increase is observed in forward Victor Osimkhen and Kvaratskhelia. The former showed a year earlier that he could become an elite striker, and now he has broken his own performance record and is the top scorer in Serie A this season: 21 goals and 4 assists in 23 league games. The result – plus 30 million for the transfer fee and a total price of 100 million euros. At the same time, Napoli will get more from the potential sale of their leader.
Khvichi’s feints have started to work, plus the Georgian wing has a great sense of when to join the attacks. Match against Liverpool in the first round of the group stage Champions League it turned out to be indicative: the footballer looked confident even against the background of the more experienced Trento. Kvaratskhelia is the second in all Serie A among players who have risen in price (+ 25 million, total cost – 85 million euros).
Of note is central defender Kim Min-jae. The 26-year-old Korean is progressing so rapidly that in just 8 months he has more than tripled his value (from 14 to 50 million euros).
Now the composition of Napoli is estimated worthy of the potential champion of Italy – at 629 million euros. Almost like Juve in the last league season.
Juventus is in the top five even with stagnation
The backlog of past years allows it to remain in the top 5, even at the cost of losing 22 million euros in listing. The “Old Lady” is seriously different from the team that won the championship title for 9 seasons. Now the chances of the bianconeri are much lower. Taking away 15 points should have finished off the Turints, but, on the contrary, they were inspired and, after the results of 27 rounds, are extremely close to the Champions Cup zone.
However, the price tags fell on several leaders at once (or on those who were supposed to become them). Everything is clear with Paul Pogba: the Frenchman spent a minimum of time on the pitch despite the fact that he had been hired to convey Allegri’s ideas. Not only were they expected to see Paul back on the pitch in January, but he almost suffered a new injury and will now only recover in April. 20 million euros – a price that is only kept thanks to the midfielder’s name.
The approximate cost of Dusan Vlahovic decreased by 5 million. The striker was back on the field by the end of January. Since then, he has played 8 games in Serie A and only scored 2 goals and one assist. And all this – in a duel with Salernitana. Now, according to Transfermarkt, candidates for the Serbian can bid for him for 75 million euros and this will be an adequate amount.
Those who have managed to rise in price in the Juve crisis are few: people from the vertical of the club Enzo Barrenechea and Nicolo Fagioli. And also Adrien Rabiot, who seems to have a second wind.
Torino is in the top 10
The cost of the Turin squad now also corresponds to the line the team is on: they close the top ten. I would like to believe that Ivan Yurich’s wards are gathering strength for a breakthrough in European competitions – at this stage it is extremely difficult for them to fight even for 7th place.
Mainly increased the cost of “pomegranate” young players. And the best indicator is the 23-year-old Perr Schurs (+8 million euros). The Dutchman was bought from Ajax in the summer for 9 million euros – and he quickly gained a foothold in the Turin team at the start, now he gets even more playing time than the great Dutchman.
His teammate Alessandro Buongiorno earns 3 million euros (up from 8 million). And the main asset is Samuele Ricci (15 million euros). Of course, Ivac Ilic and Nikola Vlasic are not cheaper (Nikola is more expensive). But I’m at Turin on loan. Both have yet to be purchased.
And the last on the list, but one of the first in importance is Alexey Miranchuk. The 27-year-old midfielder, injured in a midfielder, can no longer grow. But in Turin the Russian hopes to return to the previous level. Alexei, who moved to Atalanta, received compensation of 14.5 million euros (while it was estimated at 18). In Juric’s team he gets more confidence and playing time. Even if Miranchuk’s performance does not allow him to be estimated at 30 million, it is worth considering one important detail: he knocked out his 4 + 4 in a team that is not smart in attack, relies on collisions and fighting. The season isn’t over yet: the midfielder has every chance of exceeding the 10-point threshold, obtaining a redemption from Atalanta and taking Torino to European competition. And possibly become a truly valuable asset.
At least the Croatian coach is definitely in favor of such a development of events – according to the latest data, including the decision to sign Alexei, it will affect Juric’s negotiations on a new contract.
