According to the Transfermarkt site, the Boca midfielder had an increase of €3 M in his market value and is now the most sought-after player (€13 M). The “Diablito” tripled his price and, with €12 M, is the second most valuable footballer in the First Division.
Valued. The youth players Valentín Barco, from Boca, and Claudio Echeverri, from River, became, after the sale of the Uruguayan Nicolás De la Cruz, the two most sought-after footballers in the Professional Football League. The “Diablito” was sold to Manchester City, which also has the Colorado in its sights.
With the sale of River midfielder Nicolás de la Cruz to Flamengo for 14 million euros (6 million dollars), two youth players became the most sought-after soccer players in the Argentine League: Valentín Barco, from Boca, and Claudio Echeverri, from River , according to the specialized site Transfermarkt.
The ‘Diablito’ tripled his market value and, with €12M, is now the second most valuable player in the Argentine first division and one of the 10 most valuable under 17 players today.
The 17-year-old youth, who between South American, World Cup and friendlies, with the Under 17 team, of which he was captain, played 22 games, scored 13 goals and gave 5 assists and in River he totaled 155 minutes spread over six games, stood out with his game, to the point that it generated the interest of big clubs in Europe such as Manchester City, Barcelona and Chelsea, but in the end it was the team led by Pep Guardiola that ended up keeping the River Plate jewel.
Valentín Barco, from Boca, also had an increase of €3M in his market value and went on to lead the ranking. The winger turned midfielder was the figure of a Boca finalist in the Copa Libertadores at just 19 years old and is now the most valued player, with €13 million.
These two players are joined by two more with a market value equal to or greater than 10 million euros: Gianluca Prestianni (+5 to €10 M) and Benjamín Rollheiser. (+2 to €10 M). The Vélez Sarsfield youth player, who will turn 18 in January, will leave next month for Portugal to join Benfica.
Exodus
Estudiantes has an offer of 10 million dollars, for 100% of the signing of Benjamín Rollheiser with whom Benfica has already agreed on his personal contract. It should be remembered that 50% of the pass belongs to Estudiantes and the rest belongs to the player.
The left-hander from Estudiantes de La Plata was one of the best and most consistent in Argentine football in 2023 that culminated in winning the Argentine Cup. Jaminton Campaz was undoubtedly Rosario Central’s best player in winning the 2023 Professional League Cup. The Colombian managed his team’s attacks but also made his contribution to the statistics with 6 goals and 3 assists in 17 games played. He doubled his market value to €8M making him the third most valued player. He also became one of the 10 most valuable players in the Argentine first division and one of the 15 most valued Colombian soccer players.
Revalued
Other revalued players include Santiago Castro (+3.5 to €7 M) and Hernán López Muñoz (+2.5 to €5.5 M). The first contributed 6 goals in a delicate situation like that of Vélez, a club that has not been relegated for almost 80 years and had to fight until the last date. His market value has doubled and rumors link him to Italian side Bologna.
López Muñoz, grandnephew of Diego Armando Maradona, has engaging characteristics that are not abundant in modern football and stood out in the great campaign carried out by Godoy Cruz. The “Tomba” squad was precisely the most revalued (+7.9 to €28.4 M) in this update and Tadeo Allende (+2 to €4.5 M) is added as the other major responsible. Godoy Cruz climbed six positions and is now among the 15 most valuable clubs in Argentina’s first division.
