#3 Karim Benzema
Market Value in July 2017: €60 million
Trending
Current Market Value: €40 million
Karim Benzema’s nine-year tenure at the Santiago Bernabeu is nothing short of phenomenal. The Frenchman has won four Champions League titles, two La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey titles, and many more with Real Madrid. The 30-year-old has scored 192 goals in his 413 Real Madrid appearances so far.
The Real Madrid star is one of the all-time best strikers in La Liga history. However, Benzema has become less and less prolific with his age. Benzema has scored only 16 goals in his last two La Liga seasons combined, compared to a total of 39 goals in 2014/15 and 2015/16. He will be 31 in December and does not have many years at the highest level. His mediocre 2017/18 season has cost him €20 million in terms of market value, which is currently 33.3% less than what it was 12 months ago.
