Messi, Neymar, Hazard: 20 players whose values have decreased the most in 21/22

Lionel Messi did not hit the heights expected of him during his first season at Paris Saint-Germain.

The Argentine was expected to run riot in Ligue 1 after making the move from Barcelona to PSG.

But, he had a disappointing campaign by his standards, scoring ‘just’ 11 times and recording 15 assists in 34 matches.

His struggles mean, per Transfermarkt, his value has dipped by £27m over the course of the 2021/22 season.

Atletico Madrid had a disappointing season and two of their players have seen their market value drop by £31.5m: Llorente and Koke.

Llorente didn’t manage to find the back in 40 games for Diego Simeone’s side this season.

De Jong has also seen his transfer value decline. Barcelona could cash in this summer, with Man United believed to be interested.

Messi is now worth £45m but, while his market value has dropped considerably, that figure is still incredibly high for someone who will turn 35 in June.

Hazard has struggled badly for injuries this season and is now valued at just £10.8m, a drop of £25.2m since the start of the 2021/22 campaign.

Neymar has also found form and fitness hard to come by and has seen his value drop to £67.5m from £90m.

Werner (£-20.7m) and Sancho (£-18m) make the list as well after having disappointing seasons in 21/22.
