Argentine soccer greats: which has the most expensive squad?

How the Big 5 got stronger

River: $96.9 million

It has long since surpassed Boca on this list and now it remains at the top of the top. Several young talents, some with a lot of experience who returned to the Núñez team and others who, due to their good performance, are increasing in value.

The reinforcements for this transfer market were: Matías Kranevitter (purchase from Monterrey from Mexico), Nacho Fernández (purchase from Atlético Mineiro from Brazil), Enzo Díaz (Talleres) and Salomón Rondón (free). According to Transfermarkt, a page specializing in these issues, Nicolás De la Cruz is the most valuable player (13,000,000 dollars). The podium is completed by Esequiel Barco and Pablo Solari, who are worth 7,000,000 and 6,500,000 dollars respectively.

Mouth: u$s86.18 million

Those led by Hugo Ibarra were the ones that acquired the fewest players, counting the greats, and in any case it continues to be one of the most valuable squads. Bruno Valdez was the only reinforcement and several sound. The 30-year-old Paraguayan defender was released from América and was close to going to Cruzeiro, but he chose to go to Xeneize.

As expected, Alan Varela, a 21-year-old midfielder, is the most valuable footballer on the squad with a cost of $10,000,000. Then follows Exequiel Zeballos with an appraisal of 6,500,000 dollars and the third place is shared by Sebatián Villa and Luca Langoni, both with a value of 6,000,000 dollars.

Racing: $48.05 million

For some, one of the best put together with River. The Academy disbursed more than 6,000,000 dollars for Juan Ignacio Nardoni, a 20-year-old midfielder who broke it in Unión, brought the experienced Paolo Guerrero free, did the same with Maximiliano Moralez and also with Óscar Opazo.

Aníbal Moreno is their most important player and at the same time the one with the greatest value. At 23, he costs $7,000,000, half a million more than Enzo Copetti, a player who left for Charlotte FC. Johan Carbonero, Matías Rojas and Facundo Mura appear in the second step with a value of 3,500,000 dollars and finally Gabriel Arias appears, an archer valued at 3,000,000 dollars.

San Lorenzo: US$38.25 million

We passed with the Cyclone that has several youth players but they are accompanied by several older soccer players. The Barça team brought Alex Ibacache (Everton from Chile), Rafael Pérez (Talleres), the Colombian Carlos Sánchez (free) and Facundo Altamirano (Banfield).

Coincidentally, the most expensive player is Federico Gattoni, valued at 4,500,000 dollars, although his current situation is complicated and they don’t disapprove of him leaving for less than half of what he’s worth. He has not renewed yet, he has six months left on his contract and if he continues like this he will end up free. Agustín Giay and Adam Bareiro appear behind the defender with a value of 4,000,000 and 3,500,000 dollars respectively.

Independent: US$19.13 million

Underneath everything appears Independent. Logically, their economic situation reflects what the team is worth, made up of several young people and a few experienced ones. Although it was the one that was reinforced the most, it did so with players who arrived free, others on loan, while the rest were bets from the club.

As of today, the most expensive player is Sergio Barreto (2,700,000 dollars), a defender who arouses interest in Boca, but the Xeneize offers do not seduce Red. Then one of the reinforcements appears, Rodrigo Rey (1,800,000 dollars) and third place is shared by Lucas González, who went on loan in Mexico, and Iván Marcone, both with an appraisal of 1,500,000 dollars.
