La Real bid farewell to the year outside the podium of the most important squads in La Liga

Last year 2023, Real Sociedad hit the table on the world football scene, gained cruising speed and closed a meteoric year, nothing more and nothing less than the 19th place of the most important clubs in the world and as the third most important club La Halaga of the league squad. The San Sebastian team snatched third place from Atlético de Madrid, which this year was again in contention for third. But this irregular 2024 slowed the dizzying progress of the people of San Sebastian and punished them in relation to market value. The painful loss of Mikel Merino and Robin Le Normand They caused the club’s value to drop, while some existing squad assets lost value. Just now Martin Zubimendi He is among the 20 most important players.

According to Transfermarkt, the Realist squad is worth 428.20 million euros and Real closed 2023 with a squad value of 475.6 million euros, which represents a decrease of 47.4 million in its price. The colchoneros took third place from them despite the fact that they also saw how their squad lost value. The Cholos closed the year with a team worth 498.80 million euros. In the first two places are the two transatlantic companies of La Liga: Barcelona (946.00M) and Real Madrid (1.36 billion).

Two significant casualties

In the previous summer market, Realzales said goodbye to two team leaders, such as Mikel Merino and Robin Le Normand and it penalizes the team when evaluating the team. Last year, both players entered the TOP 25 of the most valuable players in La Liga. Merino It occupied the position number 15, for his 50 million and Robin You Norman the 22nd for its 40 million. The Frenchman, currently an Atlético de Madrid player, did not see his value increase and the Navarrese, due to his little participation at Arsenal as a result of injuries, saw his value reduced by 45 million, putting him in him the 60th most valuable football player in the Premier League.

Just one of the Top 20

Last year, four players belonging to the San Sebastian entity entered the TOP 20 of the most valuable players in La Liga and a year later only one person occupies the top positions in this field. The good times of Martin Zubimendi This kept the San Sebastian player in 15th place. With the departure of Mikel Merino Ulia became the compass of the core and its value increased by 10 million compared to last year (60M). At the beginning of 2024 the best positioned is Take Kubowhich occupied the 12th place thanks to its 60 million. Throughout 2024, the Japanese player, currently ranked 31st, has lost 40 million. A similar case is that of Mikel Oyarzabal. Eibartarra is the 15th most valuable soccer player with 50 million, and is currently worth 35 million. Captain Txuri Urdin finished the season worth 45 million and is currently worth 35M (34th). Brais Méndez has also fallen from the TOP 25, from being worth 50 million to 35M. In purpose, it is surprising that the good year of Remiro is not displayed in this area. The one from Cascante is the 49th most valuable footballer (25M) in La Liga and his price has not increased since 2022.

Most signatories do not lose value

Of all the signings that Real made in 2024, the only one that lost its price in the market was Sheraldo Becker. The one from Suriname cost 10 million when it landed in Donostia in January and is currently worth six million. All other additions have seen their value increase this year. Regarding the market, Orri Oskarsson is the most revalued. In June he was worth five million and in October, as a txuri urdin player, he reached the 20 million he currently has. Sergio Gomez He is the eighth most important player in the current squad. His signing for the Txuri Urdin club led to an increase in his value by 10 million (20M). The same thing happens with Luka Sucicwho has seen his market price increase by 3 million since he became a Real player (20M). The left side Javi Lopez and Nayef Aguerd They were the only signings with the same amount when they signed for Real. The Canary is worth 7.5 million and the Moroccan continues to be worth 35 million, the same amount as when he was a West Ham player. It should also be noted that the centre-back on loan at Real is the 33rd most valuable football player in the whole of La Liga.

15 players over 10+ million

Although the Txuri Urdin team lost value this year, the San Sebastian team added two more players with a market value of more than 10 million. Of the above: Zubimendi (60M), hut (40M), Oyarzabal (35M), braise (35M), Aguerd (35M), Remiro (25M), Sergio Gomez (20M), Oskarsson (20M) and sucic (18M), was added Zubeldia (22M), Barrenetxea (20M), Turrientes (18M), Zakharyan (18M), Jon Mikel Aramburu (12M) and Pacheco (10M). The Venezuelan burst into the first team with force and became the most valuable player in the squad in 2024. In just one year, his value increased by more than 11 million and he entered this TOP, as Aguerd.

The 26th most important team

Last year, sporting excellence was reflected in the ranking of the world’s most important squads. But in just one year, txuri urdin became 26th from 19th place. They are currently below Napoli (432.05M) and above Crystal Palace (424.90M). Therefore, Txuri Urdin will start the new year with the aim of adding more wins, so that the squad can be reassessed in 2025.
