Eyes on the market: These are the most valuable Dutch footballers out there
The Netherlands has always had great footballers. The current Dutch generation will not go down history in as the best one ever, but still consists of some excellent players. These are the most valuable Dutch players as we speak, according to Transfermarkt.
Topping the list, Matthijs de Ligt comes with a price tag of 75 million euros. That is slightly less than what Bayern Munich paid to Juventus last summer.
FC Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong takes second place, being valued at 60 million euros.
In third place, we find Cody Gakpo. The Liverpool striker, too, comes in at a market value of 60 million euros.
Teammate Virgil van Dijk takes fourth place, with a price tag of 45 million euros.
Newcastle United's Sven Botman has quickly become one of the best defenders in the Premier League. This has had an effect on his market value, currently being estimated at 45 million euros.
Whoever wants to buy Jurrien Timber (Ajax) right now, will have to pay 42 million euros.
An integral part of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City this season, Nathan Aké has a current market value of 35 million euros.
One of the Dutch football starts on the rise, Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen) comes in at 35 million euros.
30 million. That is what Atalanta's Teun Koopmeiners would cost you if you would want to buy him as we speak.
Only 20 years old, Ryan Gravenberch has an estimated market value of 30 million euros. That is almost the double of what Bayern Munich paid to Ajax in the summer of 2022 (18.5 million).
An FC Barcelona youth product, Xavi Simons is showing his class at Dutch side PSV Eindhoven nowadays. This made his price tag go up to no less than 30 million euros.
Denzel Dumfries is one of the familiar faces in the Dutch national team. On club level, he plays for Internazionale, coming in at a market value of 28 million euros.
That is slightly above Tottenham Hotspur's Arnaut Danjuma, who is valued at 27 million euros.
With a price tag of 24 million euros, Steven Bergwijn takes 14th place in this list.
The first Manchester United player in this ranking, Tyrell Malacia is currently worth 22 million euros according to Transfermarkt.
Malacia is followed by Leeds United's Pascal Struijk, who should yield 20 million if the Yorskshire club were to sell its defender right now.
23-year old Perr Schuurs currently plays for Torino, after the Italians paid 9 million euros to Ajax in the summer of 2022. That is less than half of what he is worth now.
A driving force at Dutch title contenders Feyenoord Rotterdam, Lutsharel Geertruida bears a price tag of 18 million euros.
Our next stop is Germany, where Micky van de Ven is playing for VfL Wolfsburg. The Dutchman cost the German side 3.5 million euros in 2021, a fraction of his current market value.
Once worth 55 million euros, Donny van de Beek's career has slowed down a bit. This resulted in his market value dropping to 17 million euros.
