Premier League Players: Decreased Market Value and Reputation Decline

Premier League Players with Decreased Market Value

Big-name stars from Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham have seen their market value decline over the past two-and-a-half seasons. Whether due to age, lack of form, ill-advised transfers, or a combination of factors, these players have experienced a dent in their reputations since the beginning of the 2021-22 season.

Using data from Transfermarkt, the following 10 Premier League players have lost the most market value since July 2021:

1. Timo Werner (-48 million)

   • Werner's market value has seen the biggest decline over the past few years. Struggling to justify his price tag at Chelsea, he returned to RB Leipzig and failed to find success there as well.

2. Raheem Sterling (-45 million)

   • Sterling's reputation has plummeted since leaving Manchester City for Chelsea. Inconsistency and struggles in a struggling side have led to his exclusion from the England squad.

3. Raphael Varane (-45 million)

   • Varane's value has tumbled since joining Manchester United from Real Madrid. Injuries and an inconsistent backline have contributed to his decline.

4. Kevin De Bruyne (-40 million)

   • De Bruyne's value has slipped due to age and a series of long-term injuries. Despite this, he remains a brilliant player.

5. Casemiro (-40 million)

   • Casemiro's market value dropped after joining Manchester United from Real Madrid. While still important to United's midfield, his age is a factor in his decreased value.

6. Mohamed Salah (-35 million)

   • Salah's value has decreased due to an underwhelming season for Liverpool and his age. However, he continues to perform well and is a key player for his team.

7. Son Heung-min (-35 million)

   • Son's value has dipped due to a combination of age and loss of form. Despite this, he has still contributed with goals and assists.

8. Youri Tielemans (-35 million)

   • Tielemans' market value has fallen since his peak in 2021. After a successful season at Leicester, he struggled to adapt to life at Aston Villa.

9. Mason Mount (-30 million)

   • Mount's value declined after a successful season with Chelsea. His move to Manchester United has not revived his reputation, and injuries have hindered his performance.

10. Andrew Robertson (-30 million)

*   Robertson's value has fallen after a couple of successful years at Liverpool. Injuries and the passage of time have contributed to his decline.

These players serve as examples of how various factors can impact a player's market value. While some have experienced a decline in reputation, others continue to perform at a high level. It will be interesting to see how their market values evolve in the future.
