The sharp decline in the prices of players in the Russian Premier League: Durran lost €10 million, while Ugalde and Fernandes also suffered losses. The players who have seen their prices drop the most are those from Zenit. John Durran, who played for Zenit on loan, has seen his valuation drop by €10 million – from €25 million to €15 million. Another player who has seen his valuation drop significantly is Manfred Ugalde, a forward from Spartak. The same applies to Jedson Fernandes, a midfielder from Spartak. Market analysts attribute this sharp decline in transfer values to a lack of stable playing opportunities, difficulties in adapting to the situation, and a general decline in interest among European clubs in participating in the Russian league. For Zenit and Spartak, this is a clear signal that they need to reconsider their staffing policies. Even young talents who don’t have regular playing time are losing their value in the market. In a highly competitive environment, being considered “promising” doesn’t protect a team from financial losses. Clubs will have to either integrate these players into their starting teams or prepare for losses in case they are sold.
