Liverpool transfer news
Among those not making the top ten include Martin Skrtel, Simon Mignolet and Emre Can, while impressive teenager Jordon Ibe is scandalously valued at just £1.76m.
Here’s the top ten as they see it:
10) Alberto Moreno – £13.20m
The 22-year-old wing-back joined us from Sevilla for £12m last summer, and based on his gradually improving performances this season, is well worth his slight increase in value. His price tag will only continue to rise as he establishes himself as a fixture in the Liverpool line-up.
Fair valuation? – YES
9) Mario Balotelli – £13.20m
The controversial Italian striker was a surprise £16m summer signing from AC Milan, but has struggled to make an impact at Anfield this term, with just one Premier League goal. With the Reds reportedly set to sell the player this summer, this sort of price tag would be a huge bonus.
Fair valuation? – YES
8) Dejan Lovren – £13.20m
The struggling Croat has simply struggled to establish himself in the Liverpool team. After a difficult start to the campaign following his £20m move from Southampton, he found himself on the fringes of Brendan Rodgers’ team, and even now remains well down the pecking order.
Fair valuation? – YES
7) Lazar Markovic – £14.96m
The Serbian has made a solid start to life at Anfield, following his £20m summer move from Benfica. While he’s arguably not produced as regularly as one might have hoped, he has netted crucial goals against Sunderland and Tottenham. Markovic has also performed strongly in a variety of roles – including the difficult wing back position. Still young, with bags of potential to boot.
Fair valuation? – NO
6) Mamadou Sakho – £15.84m
Signed by Brendan Rodgers for £15m in the summer of 2013. The 25-year-old has had a mixed time of it at Anfield, but has enjoyed some of his best performances in the recent run of 13 Premier League games unbeaten. We’re probably still hoping for a little more from the Frenchman, but a fair rating.
Fair valuation? – YES
5) Adam Lallana – £19.36m
Yet another summer signing. The £25m-man has struggled to maintain form and fitness since his move to Merseyside, and it’s hardly surprising to see his value slide. Still 26, with time to continue improving, the former Southampton man will hope his second season with us proves more fruitful.
Fair valuation? – YES
4) Jordan Henderson – £20.24m
The Liverpool captain to be is only valued this low due to his contract being set to expire at the end of next season. If and when he does sign a new deal, then his value should correspondingly soar. The England international has been in fine form so far this term, and looks set to become a key player.
Fair valuation? – YES
3) Philippe Coutinho – £22.00m
The Brazilian might have only cost us £8.5m back in January 2013, but there’s little doubting the fact that he’s since become one of the bets players in the country. Brendan Rodgers must value the 22-year-old higher than any of his other players, and would certainly not accept an offer anywhere near this amount.
Fair valuation? – NO
2) Daniel Sturridge – £22.00m
The only thing holding him back is his injury problems. This time last year his value would likely have been around £10m higher, but after an injury-hit campaign that will likely see him miss around six months worth of games, it’s easy to see why any potential interest has been cooled. 26 later this year, Sturridge has only started 150 games in his professional career, and it’s hard not to imagine how good both he and we would be if his body just held out.
Fair valuation? – YES
1) Raheem Sterling – £26.40m
This is hilariously poor. Sterling has over two years left to run on his deal and, at just 20-years-old, is one of the best young players on the planet. He’s attracted interest from a whole host of European giants, but we won’t let him go without a fight. Any such argument will only further boost his value. He’s worth at least double!
Fair valuation? – NO
