Italy's Serie A once again has a €100 million player after the new market value update, which saw 150 players given new values - and a new leader in terms of squad value. Top scorer Victor Osimhen is currently the tenth player to break the nine-figure barrier and, together with his team-mate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, has pushed league leaders and Champions League quarter-finalists Napoli into first place in the Italian top-flight’s squad value rankings. Which now puts Napoli’s squad market value at €629m only just behind the top 10 in European football.
Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia, who saw market value increases of €30m and €25m respectively, are once again the big winners in Serie A. With the striker now valued at €100m and his Georgian teammate worth €85m. "The Nigerian centre-forward and his attacking partner have been in top form for months and, together with their teammates, are not only playing in a league of their own in Serie A, but are among the favourites to reach the final of the Champions League,” explained Jatin Dietl, Area Manager Italy at Transfermarkt. “Should Osimhen move in the summer, we estimate he will bring in a nine-figure sum, given his contract runs until 2025. Manchester United, Liverpool and PSG are considered the hottest contenders for a transfer.”
"Such leaps within a year have been very rare in Serie A in recent years - but Kvaratskhelia combines all the attributes of a future superstar in European football,” added Dietl. “The fact that he has slightly less speculation surrounding him in the rumour mill than Osimhen is probably only due to the fact that he has a much longer contract - until 2027 - and centre-forwards generally have a bigger market."
From Napoli's point of view, defensive additions such as Min-jae Kim (+€15 to €50m) - who was valued at just €14m in the summer - midfield metronome Stanislav Lobotka (+€8 to €38m) and goalkeeper Alex Meret (+€5 to €18m) add a whopping €86m to the squad's value. In the Serie A rankings, the Naples side surpass last year's champions and previous leaders AC Milan, who lost €24m to drop to €547m, and Inter Milan who lost €21.5m to stand at €534.5m behind them. This now means that Napoli can boast the most valuable squad in Italian football since Transfermarkt introduced market values in 2004.
Serie A market values: Napoli rise to new heights as Vlahovic and Leão fall
Rafael Leão, who was voted player of the season by the TM community in Serie A last season, has lost his top spot to the aforementioned Napoli duo. The Portuguese talent’s market value has fallen by €5m to €80m and now shares third place in the Italian top flight with Inter vice-captain and World Cup winner Lautaro Martínez, who in turn gained €5m. Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, who was also previously valued at €80m, was downgraded to €75m.
Italy expert Dietl explains: "Leão remains in demand on the transfer market in view of his contract situation. It is still unclear whether he will extend his contract with Milan, which expires in 2024 - if he doesn't, he could move for a sum that is well below his market value. After his top year in 2021/22, we had hoped for him to make the leap to the top of the world with more consistency, in which case €100m and more would be possible. But the Portuguese winger has missed out on this. At times, he has seemed distracted in recent weeks and has not been able to lead Milan out of the difficult phase with numerous points dropped. In the Champions League, too, he didn't put his stamp on the game enough."
On the topic of Vlahovic’s notable drop in market value , Dietl noted: "He is going through perhaps the most difficult phase of his career so far. Juventus' offensive play often consists mainly of individual class from players like Ángel Di María, and the No.9 is rarely offered chances to score. Injuries added to that and so the Serb has been in a slump of form for weeks."
Market value winners in Serie A: Højlund and Thiaw on the rise
Among the big winners in the Serie A market value update are mainly young players. Since the last update in November, 20-year-old Atalanta striker Rasmus Højlund, Juventus' 22-year-old midfield talent Nicolò Fagioli and 19-year-old former Schalke player in Milan's defence, Malick Thiaw, have stood out. Højlund earned the third highest increase of the update with strong performances, with an increase of €20m to €35m. He would probably be the perfect candidate at Napoli should Osimhen leave this year. Fagioli, often a bright spot at the "Old Lady" due to his technical skills, gains €12m to €20m and Thiaw, who has earned a regular place at the Rossoneri after the switch to a three-man backline, increases by €9m to €15m.
Højlund's team-mates Giorgio Scalvini and Ademola Lookman (both +€10m to €30m), the in-form runner-up Adrien Rabiot (+€5 to €30m), the former Stuttgart and current Fiorentina attacker Nicolás González (+€5 to €28m), Inter keeper André Onana (+€6m to €20m) and Lazio defender Nicolò Casale (+€8m to €17m) also saw increases in their market value.
Market value losers in Serie A: Pogba continues to drop, Lukaku also loses value
The biggest loser of the update is once again Paul Pogba. "Due to injury, the 30-year-old midfielder has not been able to get a leg up since his return to Juventus and has only played 35 minutes in two games. In the Europa League, he was also dropped from the squad because he came on too late. It is not unlikely that we will part ways in the summer," said Area Manager Dietl. Pogba was valued at €48m when he left Manchester United on a free transfer to Juventus, then dropped to €35m in November after missing the World Cup, and now by another €15m to €20m. The last time Pogba had such a low market value was at the turn of the year 2013/14.
Joining the aforementioned Vlahovic is fellow Juventus star Federico Chiesa, who continues to struggle after tearing his cruciate ligament last year and has fallen by €10m to €50m. And joins other prominent market value losers at Juventus. Romelu Lukaku is also on a similar trajectory as Pogba, dropping by €15m to €40m. "With the 29-year-old Belgian it's a bit less dramatic than with Pogba, but both sides definitely expected more from the return in the summer,” adds Dietl. “Lukaku is also still searching for his top form due to many injuries and has only scored five goals in 18 games.” The last time Lukaku was at this level was in the summer of 2016, when he was still playing for Everton.
