10 La Liga stars who had the biggest drop in market value in 2016

#2 Eliaquim Mangala – Valencia (on loan from Manchester City) – £11.05m decrease

Mangala’s stock has been on a downward spiral in the last few years

News of Eliaquim Mangala’s loan deal with Valencia was met with positive reactions from Manchester City fans in the summer. The talented young defender could have time away from the pressures of English football to develop technically, La Liga’s strong suit.

It’s gone pear-shaped. Mangala has been part of a Valencia defence that has conceded 33 times, with the Frenchman making 16 appearances for Los Che. 15^th place in La Liga is hardly where you would expect a player who is expected to be part of Manchester City’s title challenge next year to be.

The 42 million that City parted with for Mangala’s services look increasingly like a blunder of epic proportions, which has consequently seen his value reduce by 46.4 % in 2016.

Jan 2016 value: £23.8 million

Jan 2017 value: £12.75 million
