LaLiga: 5 players whose market value has skyrocketed

#2 Joao Felix

Portugal v Switzerland - UEFA Nations League Semi-Final

The 19-year-old Portuguese sensation is one of the best young strikers in world football at the moment. Joao Felix became the most expensive signing in Atletico Madrid history when they paid €126 million for his signature earlier this summer.

A creative player who often plays behind the No.9, Felix is known for his pace, ability to dribble past defenders, willingness to make attacking runs and exploit spaces. The youngster was brilliant for Benfica last season with 20 goals and 11 assists from 43 games in all competitions.

He was under the radar of top European clubs but Atletico jumped the line to sign him, following Antoine Griezmann’s departure to Barcelona. His market value has seen an astronomical rise over the past 12 months. He is currently valued at €70 million, which represents a 3400% increase from July 1, 2018.

Market Value as of July 1, 2018: €2 million

Market Value as of now: €70 million
