Gabriel Martinelli one of three Premier League stars in top ten market value decreases in 2024
Two Premier League representatives appear in this list of the top 10 players with the greatest transfer market value decreases in 2024.
Players with the same increase in market value have been differentiated by the percentage increase. All data is courtesy of the wonderful Transfermarkt.
England fans will very much enjoy the transfer market increases.
10) Frenkie de Jong (Barcelona): €80m to €60m (-€20m)
Probably had the best post-Ajax career out of all the players to have starred in the 2018/2019 Champions League campaign, though that’s not saying much, with the majority currently flopping under the mastermind of that run at Manchester United.
De Jong’s only just come back having missed the start of the season through injury and although he should be in his prime at 27 and Hansi Flick insists he’s part of his plans, it’s hard to shake the feeling that Barcelona may well outgrow in the not-too-distant future. His contract expires in 2026 and it would be a surprise if they offered him an extension.
9) Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich): €70m to €50m (-€20m)
He’s apparently reached a ‘verbal agreement’ to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer, which could lead Bayern to turn to the Premier League for his replacement.
8) Evan Ferguson (Brighton): €65m to €40m (-€20m)
A market value high due more it seemed because of the lack of strikers available at the time, because €65m always looked steep for a guy who’s only scored 16 senior goals. Ferguson’s been limited to brief substitute appearances this season under new Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, who has – for good reason – taken a shine to veteran Danny Welbeck.
7) Federico Chiesa (Liverpool): €50m to €30m (-€20m)
He’s barely played so far (who’d have thunk it?) and given Mohamed Salah’s continued excellence we suspect the Italy international won’t have a huge number of opportunities to get his value back up towards a high of €70m.

6) Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal): €85m to €60m (-€25m)
He looks as though he’s back on the right track now but it’s been a bit of a rotten year for Martinelli, who managed just ten Premier League goal contributions last term after 20 the season before, with Leandro Trossard very much Mikel Arteta’s preferred option on the left in the second half of the campaign.
5) Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich): €75m to €50m (-€25m)
Joins Bayern teammate Davies on a very attractive list of players whose contracts expire in 2025, which goes some way to explaining his drop in value, and we suspect there will be quite the scrap for his services if the Bundesliga giants fail to tie him down to a new contract.
4) Kingsley Coman (Bayern Munich): €65m to €40m (-€25m)
Significant injury issues have undoubtedly played their part but the arrival of Michael Olise in the summer has also brought Coman’s inconsistency into sharp focus.

3) Milan Skriniar (PSG): €45m to €20m (-€25m)
Appeared destined for Al-Nassr in the summer, which came as absolutely no surprise as Skriniar’s got Saudi gold written all over him. Didn’t happen and that market value looks set to drop further as he watches from the PSG bench this season.
2) Randal Kolo Muani (PSG): €70m to €40m (-€30m)
Probably hoped that Kylian Mbappe’s exit would be the making of him at PSG but he’s started just two Ligue 1 games this season and was hooked at half-time in one of them. No disrespect, but it can’t feel great to be behind Marco Asensio in the pecking order.
1) Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray): €110m to €75m (-€35m)
Two goals and four assists in four games so far for Osimhen in Turkey, which isn’t bad going, but – quite possibly because he’s moved to the Super Lig and not the Premier League – his market value has taken a significant hit, with €25m of his €35m drop this year coming in the last three months.
