In a recent update by Transfermarkt, the market values of 119 Bundesliga players have been revised, with significant changes affecting several key players. Among these, Michael Olise has emerged as a standout performer, rising to the top five most valuable players in the league.
Michael Olise's Rise to Prominence
Olise, who recently joined Bayern Munich, has seen his market value increase by 10 million, reaching 65 million. This significant upgrade places him alongside other top-tier players in the Bundesliga. His impressive performances have made him a crucial player for Bayern Munich, with Transfermarkt noting that if he continues this form, the upgrade could be just an intermediate step for the 22-year-old.
Olise started the season with three goals and five assists, contributing significantly to his team's success. This remarkable start has solidified his position in the top five most valuable players in the Bundesliga, surpassing Leroy San who has struggled with fitness issues.
San's Decline and Gittens' Rise
Leroy San, on the other hand, has seen his market value drop by 14.4% to 60 million. San's struggles with minor injuries and an overall lack of form have impacted his performance, making it challenging for him to secure a starting position. His inability to stay fit has been a recurring issue, which has further affected his market value.
In contrast, Jamie Gittens of Borussia Dortmund has experienced a significant market value increase. Gittens' market value has risen by 7 million to 35 million, reflecting his impressive performances in both the Bundesliga and Champions League. His technical skills and goal-scoring abilities have earned him recognition within the football community.
Other Notable Changes
Another player who has seen a notable increase in market value is Aleksandar Pavlovi of Bayern Munich. Pavlovi's market value has increased by 66.7% from 30 million to 50 million, making him a crucial player for the team. His impressive performances have led Transfermarkt to consider him as the natural successor of legend Toni Kroos.
Paul Wanner of Heidenheim is another player who has garnered attention with his market value decrease. Wanner's market value has been downgraded by 33.3% from 18 million to 12 million, his lowest since February 2020. Despite this, Transfermarkt believes that Wanner is one of the biggest attacking talents in Germany and expects him to be called up by the national team soon.
Enzo Millot of VfB Stuttgart has also seen a significant increase in his market value. Millot's impressive performances in big games against top-tier teams have led to a 12 million increase in his market value, making him the most valuable player in Stuttgart's squad ahead of star striker Deniz Undav.
These updates reflect the dynamic nature of football player valuations and highlight the importance of consistent performance in maintaining or increasing market value.
