Messi’s market value drops to its lowest level in Ligue 1

Despite winning the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, the market value of the famous Argentine superstar, Lionel Messi, experienced a decline in market value by 5 million euros, shrinking to 45 million euros in the new assessment of the market value of French football players. The most unexpected development in the most recent update was the decline in Messi’s market value. After suffering a €5 million loss, his value dropped to €45 million. Messi‘s outstanding season-to-date performance, surprised everyone. In the 23 Ligue 1 games he has played this season for PSG, he has tallied 13 goals and 13 assists. In addition, he contributed 4 goals and 4 assists in the 7 Champions League games. The market worth of Argentinian players such as Enzo Fernandez, Depaul, and others skyrocketed after their country won the Fifa World Cup. To get them, the big clubs went all out. On the other hand, Messi still receives a downgrade despite being the team’s most important player and earning the best player and FIFA men’s player of the year awards. Messi’s market value has reached its lowest point in the previous 15 years. His market value peaked at €180 million in 2018 while he was playing for Barcelona. Since then, he has had a continuous slide, but it was not anticipated that it would happen again during this update. I believe that PSG’s disappointing performance against Bayern FC in the Champions League Round of 16—where Messi also fell short—can be part of the cause for this decline. Also, the Goat will turn 36 this June, and since his retirement is approaching, major clubs won’t like to invest in him for that reason. The contract extension with PSG also doesn’t appear to be happening since, according to rumours, Messi is eager to go and other leagues, including the MLS and Saudi league, are attempting to entice him to join them. But the rumours also imply that Messi may go back to Barcelona. The majority of the PSG team’s players experienced a decline in their market value yesterday. The market value of Neymar, who is out of the current season due to an ankle injury and is currently having surgery in Qatar, has decreased by €5 million to €70 million. Values for Vitinha, Soler, Kipembe, and Ruiz all fell. At 180 million euros, Mbappe has maintained his top rank without changing since the last update.
