Jamal Musiala is the biggest loser in the latest market value update published by the portal Transfermarkt, dropping 20 million euros to land at an 80 million euro valuation. Physical setbacks and inconsistent performances on the pitch drove the downward revision for the Bayern Munich and Germany star, according to market value lead Tobias Kröger.
Physical Setbacks and Performance Fluctuations Drive Musiala Drop
Musiala’s valuation took a sharp hit following months disrupted by health issues and fluctuating form on the pitch. Before the start of the season, a neurological dysfunction involving temporary absences became public knowledge after the 23-year-old collapsed during test matches against 1. FC Heidenheim and RB Leipzig. More recently, Musiala had to leave the Germany national team camp early due to a muscle fiber tear in his right thigh sustained during the warmup ahead of a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands.
“Unfortunately, Jamal Musiala is feeling the effects of the past few months,” Kröger said regarding the update. “Due to various health problems and the resulting performance fluctuations, the market value of the German international has dropped by 20 million to 80 million euros.” Kröger added that while occasional brilliant performances still highlight the player’s extraordinary talent, a lack of consistency and overall current form prevent him from staying in the top bracket.
Atubolu and Ouédraogo Among National Team Circle Devaluations
Alongside Musiala, two other players connected to the wider national team picture rank among the primary downward movers in the Transfermarkt update. Goalkeeper Noah Atubolu dropped by seven million euros to a valuation of 18 million euros. Atubolu earned his first regular call-up to the senior squad under Jürgen Klopp after previously receiving a late call under former coach Julian Nagelsmann. Market observers pointed to his stalled potential move to the Premier League and his subsequent transfer from SC Freiburg to Eintracht Frankfurt—which leaves him without international club competition this season—as factors in the adjustment.
Assan Ouédraogo of RB Leipzig also suffered a decline, dropping from 28 million euros to 22 million euros to sit fourth on the overall losers list. The young midfielder missed selection for the latest squad due to a serious right shoulder capsule injury sustained in a 5-0 victory against Hamburger SV, which required surgery and a lengthy recovery period.
Antonio Nusa Rises as the Biggest Winner in Latest Valuation Update
While several prominent names lost ground, Antonio Nusa of RB Leipzig emerged as the biggest gainer in the update. Nusa’s valuation increased by 13 million euros, bringing his current market worth to 45 million euros. Freiburg’s Derry Scherhant also climbed significantly, rising from an earlier figure to 20 million euros. Seven other players gained ten million euros each in the update, including Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise—who moved from an earlier value to 180 million euros—and Borussia Dortmund’s Felix Nmecha, whose value increased to 65 million euros.
Market Value Adjustments Compared
The latest figures illustrate contrasting trajectories across the Bundesliga, with established stars facing downward corrections due to injuries while rising talents secure substantial upgrades. Musiala’s drop to 80 million euros contrasts with Olise’s rise to 180 million euros at Bayern Munich, highlighting how fitness and weekly consistency dictate valuation shifts at the top level.
