The Price Of Vinicius Jr. Meroket Less Than A Year: IDR 1.75 Trillion!

JAKARTA - Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior stood out all year ago. He helped Los Blancos win the doubles title of the Champions League and La Liga.

With this performance, Brazil's international title tag - which scored Real Madrid's winning goal in the Champions League final against Liverpool - has skyrocketed over the past few months.

The latest list of most valuable players from Transfermarkt confirmed Vinicius' increase over the past year. Kylian Mbappe is the most valuable player in the world at a price of 160 million euros (Rp 2.33 trillion) followed by Erling Haaland 150 million euros (Rp 2.18 trillion) and Vinicius 120 million euros (Rp 1.75 trillion).

Mbappe and Haaland may be two strikers destined to replace Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. However, Real Madrid strikers who often celebrate goals by dancing are also considered high-end talents.

According to the same list in October 2021, Vinicius was worth 50 million euros (Rp729.7 billion), almost the same as what Real Madrid paid him in July 2018.

Three years of doubt was reflected in its value, but everything changed with Carlo Ancelotti's arrival. Scored 22 goals and made 20 assists last season confirming his contribution to Real Madrid attacks.

The fact that he is now the second-largest goalscorer in the Spanish capital team with five goals and four assists explains that Vini will survive.

No one on the list mentioned above has grown as much as Vini. Jude Bellingham, which is on Real Madrid's radar for next season, has been valued at 90 million euros. In fact, last year the label cost 70 million euros (Rp 1.02 trillion)

Meanwhile, Pedri is also priced at 90 million euros (Rp1.31 trillion) after two months ago worth 80 million euros (Rp1.16 trillion).

The gap between Vinicius and Mbappe is getting narrower because the value of the French player remains stable compared to last year which even had dropped since he was worth 200 million euros (Rp 2.91 trillion) in 2020. Meanwhile, Haaland's value remains the same as in October 2021.

In fact, Vinicius' growth is not only reflected in terms of economy and sport, but also in terms of his brand image.

After being a reference among the youngest players, his influence on social media has also grown exponentially, as well as his sponsorship agreement.

Qatar's World Cup will undoubtedly be a stepping stone for the Real Madrid winger. Less than a year ago, Brazilian coach Tite doubted his presence in Qatar. However, now Vinicius will be part of one of the most powerful striker tridents in the tournament with Neymar and Rafinha.
