Leo Messi’s market value fluctuated over the years, although he never reached a real peak because he had never been transferred. Of course, between contract and trends, it was always known when it would have been difficult to become number 10 for the Argentine National Team.
The man from Rosario began his career in 2004 and, the following year, his approximate value was five million Euros, something that quickly began to grow. By 2007, after he played his first World Cup, the amount already escalated to 40 million while by 2009, when he won his first Ballon d’Or, the figure grew to 70 million.
Leo broke the 100 million barrier in 2011, just before he broke the record for goals in a calendar year. In 2013 and 2015 its value remained at 120 million, to shoot to its peak in 2018: 180 million Euros.
From there, little by little, its market value began to drop: In 2019 it cost 150 million, while in 2021, post COVID-19 pandemic and its influence on the world economy, dropped to 80 million. In 2023, after having made the move to Inter Miami, he was valued at 45 million, while It is expected that in 2025 it will cost 30 million.
