Which players outside the top 5 championships have increased their value the most in the season?

The end of the season, in most championships, hammer at the door and clubs begin to evaluate their teams and prepare for the upcoming transfer period. One of the key questions will undoubtedly be which players have increased or decreased.

The analysis of professional players who are not lucky to compete in one of the top 5 championships: the Premier League of England, the Spanish La Liga, the German Bundesliga, the Italian Serie A and the French League 1 shows that the talent finds a way to shine, even if it is not on the most elite stage.

Portuguese supremacy

It is remarkable that four of the five players with the greatest increase in their value come from the Portuguese Elder League.

Tomash Araujo It marks the largest growth in market value among players outside the leading five European championships. In August, it was estimated at only € 9.5 million, and now its value is EUR 38.5 million-impressive increase of 29 million. The 22-year-old defender established himself in the first Benfica squad this season with over 2,000 minutes of play, mainly as a right back.

On the opposite flank, like a left back, Alvaro Careras It was also necessary in the starting staff of the Eagles. After last season there was under 600 minutes, this season and he is a hard holder. In the last 4 seasons, Careras had had a contract with the Red Devils, where, however, the misunderstandings and frequent coaching shifts did not allow him to get to the first team, so Benfica just bought him from United last summer.

Benfica has long been known for its ability to develop and sell expensive talents, and Araujo and Careras – with a total value of nearly 50 million euros – are another proof of this.

The most valuable player outside the top 5 leagues

Undoubtedly this is currently Victor YokeresS Despite the initial estimate of EUR 65 million, it has increased its value by over 22 million. With its 34 goals for Sporting in Porgugal and a hat trick scored in the Champions League, interest in the 26-year-old Swedish national of Hungarian descent is fully justified. According to his contract, there is a release clause, which attracts the attention of leading clubs, and as early as the summer transfer period we will probably see him in the Premier English League or La Liga.

Rising talents in « Porto » and « Sunderland »

Franciszu preservo (22 years old) has increased its value by about 20 million euros to 40 million, thanks to a strong rented period in Juventus.

Rodrigo Mora (17 years) also has an increase of 19 million euros. The talented offensive midfielder already has eight goals in the League despite competition in the Porto attack.

Chris Rig (Sunderland, 17) is the only Englishman in the top 10. The increase in his value by 20 million euros coincides with Sunderland’s chance to return to the Premier League after 8 years of absence.

Belgium’s strong presence

The Belgian Pro League is also well represented. Joel Ordones and Ardon Yashari (Both of Bruges) have increased their value by about 20 million euros. Bruges makes a strong season – second in the league and participant in the Champions League semifinals. Mohammed Amura Union Saint -Giloaz (currently renting at Wolfsburg) has a market value of 32 million euros, but will be purchased for only 15 million euros due to clauses in the contract.

Estavan and the deal with Chelsea

Nativeone of the most valuable players under the age of 19 has increased its value significantly over the season. Chelsea transfer is expected for 34 million euros after the World Club Championship this summer.

Overall growth at championships

Despite the individual dominance of the Elder League, the largest overall increase in the value of players has been held by the Belgian Pro League-220 million euros since August 2024, thanks mostly to the Bruges and Genk leaders.

The Portuguese League reports an increase of 134 million euros, which shows that the development is focused mainly in big clubs – Benfica, Porto and Sporting.

At the other pole is the Saudi Pro League, with a reduction in a value of over € 200 million. Despite nearly 1 billion euros spent on transfers, many stars such as Marez and Manet lose their value because of age, short contracts and poor performance.
