""Market value? Don't ask me about that, I have my own opinion," Eberl said, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. "I mean, about the assessments from Transfermarkt. I wonder why Harry Kane was downgraded. Can someone answer that for me? Don't start with his age.""
""Unfortunately, Harry Kane was downgraded due to his age. Despite outstanding performances and goal-scoring record, even this world-class striker is not immune to this trend," Kröger explained, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. "In his age group, Kane is still unchallenged as the most valuable player in the world with €65m.""
Assigning monetary values to football players serves clubs, fans, and players as benchmarks for transfers, rankings, and negotiations despite ethical concerns about dehumanization. Transfermarkt popularized market values and continuously updates them, creating widely used reference points. Some club officials publicly question the accuracy of those valuations when high-profile players are downgraded. Transfermarkt representatives defend adjustments by citing age-related depreciation while noting that elite performers can remain most valuable within their age groups, as exemplified by Harry Kane's €65m valuation. The situation underscores tensions between performance, market perception, and valuation methodology.
