JAKARTA - The winter transfer market will open on January 1, 2024. European clubs are hunting players to strengthen the team, either to continue the second half of the season or for the new season.

A number of famous names can be targeted because the price has dropped drastically in the Transfermarkt data as of the end of 2023.

The decline in market value occurred in line with the emergence of young talents who became stars. Their tag even skyrocketed rapidly.

In addition to the issue of the emergence of new stars, the decline in the prices of several famous names occurred due to their inconclusive performance in the last 12 months.

A total of 20 names of top players released by Transfermarket experienced a fairly large price decline at the end of 2023.

Antony is at the top of the list. In fact, four Manchester United players are on this list. In addition, there are big names such as Neymar, Sadio Mane, and Jadon Sancho.

Antony (Manchester United): Decreased 40 Million Euros

Antony has continued to struggle at Manchester United since moving to Old Trafford in August 2022 with an extraordinary transfer value of 95 million euros.

Since then, the Brazilian has only managed to score eight goals and three assists in 64 games and continues to be considered a failed purchase in Erik ten Hag's side.

Antony has reportedly been on the Cheap Devils loose list since the winter market opened on January 1. Man United is open to clubs willing to bring in 23-year-old players with exchange options.

In fact, Antony has a long contract at Old Trafford, which is until June 2027.

Sadio Mane (Al Nassr): Decreased 40 Million Euros

Sadio Mane chose to leave the world of European football to join Al Nassr in the summer or early this season for a while.

It happened after he went through a bad time at Bayern Munich scoring just 12 goals and six assists in 38 games.

The 30 million euros was disbursed by the Saudi Arabian club to bring in Mane. Although the forward performed very well at his new club, his declining performance at Bayern Munich and age factors played a major role in lowering his market value in 2023.

Jadon Sancho (Manchester United): Decreased 35 Million Euros

Only a few footballers have experienced a drastic decline in recent years, one of which is Jadon Sancho.

After a public fight with Erik ten Hag and his poor performances over several consecutive seasons at Manchester United, Sancho will most likely leave the club in the January stock exchange. Therefore, the market value plummeted in 2023.

Wesley Fofana (Chelsea): Decreased 33 Million Euros

Many suspect Wesley Fofana will be the answer to all of Chelsea's defense problems when he joins Leicester in 2022. He is priced at 80.4 million euros.

However, poor form and serious injury in July 2023 left him out of Chelsea's 24 matches.

This condition has made the market value of the French player plummet drastically in 2023.

Neymar (Al Hilal): Decreased 30 Million Euros

Neymar moved to Al Hilal in the summer or early this season for an incredible transfer fee of 90 million euros.

The transfer even rivals the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in Al Nassr. However, unlike his Portugal counterpart, Neymar struggled to show his abilities on the pitch.

In fact, the Brazilian suffered a serious ligament injury upon arrival at Al Hilal. So far it has only appeared five times in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, the market value has dropped dramatically.
