For football fans in Nigeria and around the world, there’s exciting news coming from Portugal. According to the latest update from Transfermarkt, Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres has seen his market value soar to €70 million, making him one of the most valuable players in Liga Portugal. This increase puts him on the same level as João Félix before his move to Atlético Madrid in 2019.
Gyökeres has been in phenomenal form this season, scoring 12 goals in 11 games across all competitions, including a goal in the Champions League. His performance has not only enhanced his market value but also sparked speculations about his future. Transfermarkt Portugal Area Manager Gonçalo Tristão Santos praised Gyökeres, saying his first season at Sporting was fantastic and he continues to perform at an incredible level.
Aside from Gyökeres, other young talents in Liga Portugal are also making waves. António Silva, a 20-year-old center-back from Benfica, saw his market value drop to €40 million due to below-expectation performances. However, other players like Conrad Harder, a Danish forward who recently joined Sporting, have seen significant increases. Harder’s market value was adjusted to reflect his transfer fee of €19 million, and he has already made an impact by scoring a goal in his first start for Sporting.
Other notable mentions include 17-year-old Sporting talent Geovany Quenda, whose market value jumped to €15 million, and his teammate Zeno Debast, a 20-year-old Belgian defender whose value increased to €22 million. Martim Fernandes, an 18-year-old Porto defender, saw his market value increase by 50% to €6 million, and Bright Arrey-Mbi from SC Braga had a 140% increase to €6 million.
