About to disappear to switch to a more even and diverse format, the World cup for clubs It will be in the edition starting next Thursday still a competition in which the economic differences between schools are terribly large.
The Bayern Munich is the big favorite, not only because of his level, but also because of the value of his team, to the extent that only three of its players are worth more than any other club.
The Bavarian painting is appreciated by Transfermarkt in 879.5 million euros, 46 times more than the most modest, the Ulsan hyundai, the rival of Tigres, valued at 19.08 m.
Just like the three most expensive Bayern players: Serge Gnabry (90 million euros), Joshua Kimmich (85 million euros) and the Canadian Alphonso Davies (80 million euros), the total is 255 million euros when Palmeiras, Tigres, Ulsan Hyundai, Al-Ahly and Al-Duhail the sum is 232.73 mde.
After Bayern, the champion of the Copa Libertadores, Palmeiras, is the second best rated and like the Germans, they have their direct ticket to the semi-finals. However, the Brazilian club is worth EUR 784 million less than the Bavarian team, as the value is 95.5 million. Top rated items are Gabriel Verón at 25m, Gabriel Menino at 10m and Patrick de Paula at 9m.
The South Americans are followed by Tigres, a team considered one of the rich in Liga MX, but that in the World Cup for clubs it is very far from the millionaire Bayern Munich, with 59.4 worth his team, in which Leo Fernández is worth 7.5 million, while Guido Pizarro, Carlos Salcedo, Carlos González and Nico López are quoted 5 million, although the latter did not travel to Qatar for positive for Covid-19.
Ahead is Al-Duhail SC of the Qatar Stars League. The value is 33.25 million euros and the top players are Dudu, a 12m Brazilian winger. The rest is 3.8 lower and one of the most expensive only six spends a million euros.
This team will face the 25.5 meter high Egyptian Al-Ahly SC in the quarter finals. The highest values are goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy, of 2.5 meters, next to 11 players around 1 and 1.5 meters.
The ‘poorest’ is the aforementioned Ulsan Hyundai, priced at 19.08 million. His most expensive players are Bit-garam Yoon, In-seon Kim and goalkeeper Kyun-woo Jo, at 1.2 meters each. Three more elements are at 1 million, and even these six together do not exceed the value of Leo Fernández, a UANL team striker who is not even a starter on Ricardo Ferretti’s team.
