Every season there are a group of players who overachieve and surprise the millions of football fans watching. On the other hand, however, are the players who massively underachieve and, as a result, their transfer value plummets.
These are the players who have suffered the greatest transfer value decrease.
13 Players Who Suffered the Greatest Decreases in Transfer Value
Barcelona Icons Suffer From Decreased Values
When a player overperforms, it is no surprise that their club wants to keep hold of them. If the club does look to sell, however, then they will almost certainly ask for a hugely inflated price tag.
It is the reason why Newcastle United managed to force Liverpool to part with £35 million for Andy Carroll; Timo Werner’s impressive performances in Germany, meanwhile, resulted in Chelsea splashing nearly £50 million for the 25-year-old German.
On the other hand, players’ transfer values can plummet if they endure a difficult season. A series of injuries, regularly being dropped or just failing to live up to scratch can all be key factors in a players’ value decreasing rapidly.
An impressive season one year, followed by a campaign plagued by injuries, could be detrimental in a player having their inflated fee suddenly decrease.
