Off the pitch, the FIFA World Cup final already has a winner: Spain.
Well, at least in market value! The Spanish squad is worth nearly twice as much as the South American side.
According to a survey by the TransferRoom website, Spain’s squad costs 1.9 times more than Argentina’s team.
The team coached by Luis de la Fuente is valued at an incredible €1.41 billion (around R$ 8.26 billion).
The biggest financial highlight is wonderkid Lamine Yamal, named the most valuable player in the squad, with an astonishing price tag of €249 million (R$ 1.45 billion).
Lionel Scaloni’s team has an estimated total value of €739 million (R$ 4.33 billion).
On the South American side, the most expensive player is defensive midfielder Enzo Fernández, valued at €88 million (R$ 515 million).
The TransferRoom platform uses a rigorous metric to price players, taking into account resale potential, age, minutes played, recent performance, time remaining on their contract, and the stature of the club each player represents.
