5 stars whose market value has dipped the most in 2021

#3 Eden Hazard (Real Madrid) - €40 million (€20 million dip)

FC Internazionale v Real Madrid: Group B - UEFA Champions League

It's hard to imagine Eden Hazard's dream move to Real Madrid taking a worse trajectory than this. Hazard was absolutely tearing it up for Chelsea in the Premier League but his form at Real Madrid has been absolutely abysmal.

His stint in the Spanish capital has been riddled with injuries and the Belgian international has come nowhere near his best for Zinedine Zidane's men. He has played just 25 games for Los Blancos in La Liga over two seasons and has scored three goals and provided just four assists.

Hazard was widely viewed as the successor to Cristiano Ronaldo. That reflected in the kind of money that Real Madrid were willing to shell out to secure his signing. However, things have not worked out for both parties and Hazard is currently valued at a paltry €40 million.

#2 Miralem Pjanic (Barcelona) - €28 million (€20 million dip)

FC Barcelona v Athletic Club - Supercopa de Espana Final

In what is a swap deal that still doesn't make much sense for Barcelona, they exchanged a young and exciting Arthur Melo for an ageing Miralem Pjanic from Juventus. Pjanic is a great midfielder and one of the best deep-lying playmakers of his generation.

However, Barcelona were supposed to revitalize their midfield and not compound their issues. Pjanic is rarely used by Ronald Koeman and the 31-year-old has already voiced his discontent at the manager.

Pjanic has started just six games in the La Liga this season, producing nothing of note. It is no surprise, then, that his value has dipped from €48 million to €28 million this year.

#1 Clement Lenglet (Barcelona) - €25 million (€25 million dip)

FC Barcelona v Sevilla: Copa del Rey Semi Final Second Leg

Clement Lenglet has had the chance to really stamp his authority over the Barcelona backline but he has not exactly covered himself in glory. He has committed far too many mistakes this season and was the main culprit behind Barcelona's defensive capitulation in the earlier parts of the campaign.

Naturally, Lenglet's stocks have taken a massive hit. In fact, his value has halved over the course of the year. The Frenchman, who used to be valued at €50 million, is now valued at €25 million.

Youngsters Oscar Mingueza and Ronald Araujo have done better at centre-back than Lenglet this season. But to be fair to Lenglet, he has shown a fair bit of improvement over the past two months and hopefully he can bring his value back up.
