In retrospect even though it didn’t seem like it at the time, Liverpool had an extremely successful summer transfer window last year. Jurgen Klopp’s recruitment team brought in players who have now become the linchpins of a side sitting at the top of the Premier League table.
From Wataru Endo, to Alexis Mac Allister and of course, Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch – Liverpool couldn’t have chosen a better quartet and a better set of players – especially for the price they paid.
Undoubtedly, one of the biggest transfers was that of Dominik Szoboszlai who arrived for £60m from RB Leipzig according to The Guardian.
Dominik Szoboszlai now worth double
Instantly, Szoboszlai fitted into the side seamlessly, as if he has been playing Jurgen Klopp’s football for years.
And now it seems he has already doubled his transfer value after just six months at Anfield.
According to the latest CIES statistics, Szoboszlai is currently valued as the 13th most expensive player in world football at £120m.
That’s more than Kylian Mbappe who the site ranks below the Hungarian and values at just £92m – far below the valuation of Liverpool’s number eight.
Of course, CIES metrics are not bulletproof and don’t always reflect that of the market in the real world. However, it’s still an impressive recognition for the Liverpool midfielder to have been given such a high value.
With what Szoboszlai has shown so far, it seems that Liverpool have been able to continue the club’s habit of signing players for just a fraction of what they’re actually worth. And that’s reflected not just on the pitch but by this CIES study as well.
