Market Values - The Transfermarkt Podcast

Episode 8 covers four leagues and five expert conversations, recorded just ahead of the Champions League semi-final between Bayern Munich and PSG.Stefan and Manu open with the Bundesliga market value forum, debating three community case studies: 19-year-old FC Cologne winger Said El-Mala (€35m current, users averaging €43.6m); Dortmund right-back Julien Ryerson, who broke the Bundesliga all-time assist record for a fullback but is 28 and entering his peak sell-on window; and a forward whose final fixtures against Hamburg, Dortmund, and Stuttgart could swing his valuation ahead of a Bundesliga update.France area manager Ronan Caroff joins to spotlight three players driving Lens's unlikely Ligue 1 title challenge. Goalkeeper Robin Risser (€25m, +€23.5m this season) was let go by Strasbourg for €3m and is now the top market value riser among all Ligue 1 keepers, with Chelsea, Brighton and Newcastle watching. Centre-back Samson Baidoo (€25m) arrived from Salzburg for €8m and has attracted interest from Inter, Juventus, Dortmund and Liverpool. And new midfield maestro Sangare, who joined the club from Rapid Vienna.Italian football expert Marius Soyke breaks down Kenan Yildiz — Juventus's vice-captain, number 10, and now the second most valuable player in Serie A at €75m. Cut loose by Bayern Munich's academy, Yildiz has 11 goals and 10 assists across all competitions this season. The discussion covers his market value trajectory, Juventus's coaching instability, and what a strong World Cup with Turkey could mean for a potential €100m+ move.Premier League analyst Ben Littlemore rounds out the episode with five players set to rise in the June 3rd market value update: Ryan Cherki (Man City, €65m), Igor Thiago (Brentford, €50m), Kroupi Junior (Bournemouth, €40m), Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa, €80m), and Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest, €60m).
