Several Azzurri players’ market values have plummeted following their World Cup play-off disaster.
Italy suffered a disastrous 1-0 loss to North Macedonia in a one-legged play-off tie in Palermo last week, knocking them out of the running for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar. This is the second consecutive World Cup that the Azzurri have missed out on, meaning a much needed overhaul is on the horizon.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, several Italy players have seen their market values drop following the loss to North Macedonia, with Gianluigi Donnarumma being the most severely affected.
The 23-year-old Italian shot stopper’s value dropped from €65m to €50m, with his fatal error clearly proving doubly punishing. Jorginho’s value also dropped from €45m to €30m, which could affect his contract renewal talks with Chelsea.
Domenico Berardi’s value is now €25m, dropping from €35m, making a move in the summer slightly more accessible.

Good news for Milan and Juventus. Would be good news for Inter too if Scamacca’s value would drop. 😛
What Nonsense – Haaland, Salah, Mane, Son – today, Gareth Bale 100m, Lewandowski, Aubameyang past values etc what does their national teams / did their national teams have to do with enhancing their value in a world cup so far?
A player’s value has zero to do with their national team reaching a major tournament, unless of course they play well in the actual tournament and usually deep into it thereby enhancing their exposure away from club level, in which case their price increases but a national team not making a tournament certainly doesn’t reduce the players prices. Their values remain the same, they’ve just missed a chance to increase them. What a load of…
Also always thought it was odd why English players who barely feature for England (i.e. Sancho supposedly worth more than Chiesa on Transfermarkt), are valued so highly?
Luckily, valuation comes internally between clubs and what they are willing to pay to prize a player away, not some biased, inconsistent, unrealistic so called statistician from England who values their own players (unless you play in the premier league) above all others.
You know it’s farce when Saka and Grealish are supposedly worth at least double the value of Zaniolo and the same as or more than Fede Chiesa. English player hype x 100.
Typical- their value absolutely plummets after this, yet didn’t go up at all after the Euros
@J, I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but we’re also talking about actual performances that people are able to see. Berardi clearly missed some golden opportunities to score, Donnarumma might have done better on the Macedonia goal, Jorginho we all know. These performances, the good ones and the bad ones, are exacerbated by the fact they’re playing with the national team, which is supposedly the best of the best of a country against the best of the best of another. Penaldo does raise a good point about why they didn’t “go up at all” after the Euros vs. plummeting now. The answer could be that maybe their values did go up? Or that their values were confirmed by that performance? Losing value is always easier than gaining. Like Warren Buffett said, “It takes 20 years to build a reputation, and 5 minutes to destroy it.”
How exactly are these values calculated anyways? Theres no formula its arbitrary based on other sales of similar players, kinda like real estate.
Why do you keep calling it his fatal error? That was a once in a life time shot. I don’t think anyone would have stopped that.
I don’t think it is that their value dropped. They were just overvalued all along. Like most players, and coaches.
