Top 5 Most Expensive Players Of Indian Football Team
The brand value of the Indian football team is continuously increasing. They are doing a great job of their game at the moment, something she would never have done before. There is a renewed vigor in the team with all the victories in the last eight international matches. Indian players are marching ahead to learn the modern techniques of this beautiful game with increased facilities and money, even amidst the chaotic structure and environment of the home.
If the Indian team continues to grow like this, the day is not far when Indian players will replace world football stars Wayne Rooney and Neymar. According to the data of transfermarket.com website, the market value of Indian footballers is meager. Indeed, Indian captain, Sunil Kshetri is highly valued in football, yet his market value is 500 times less than that of Argentina's Lionel Messi.
Looking at this, it can be said that it will take a lot of hard work and time for Indian stars to reach the level of their European and South American counterparts. Let's take a look at five Indian footballers and their highest market valuations:
Sunal Kshetri: 275000 Euros
Indian captain Sunil Kshetri is the country's highest goal scorer with 54 national goals. He ranks among the world's top active international goal scorers after Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, and Clint Dempsey. According to Transfermarkt.com, the current market price of the region is 275000 Euros. Their value had been known since December last year.
As everyone knows, the Bengaluru FC forward has played only the group stage of the I-League, Federation Cup, and AFC Cup 2017 after ISL-3. Since then, their market value may have changed slightly.
JJ Lalpekhlua: 250000 Euro
The Mohun Bagan striker has scored 7 goals in the last eight matches for India, which is no less than a record. He has scored 18 goals in his 45 matches so far. Their market value is 250000 Euros. JJ has not played in the same number of elite class matches as Kshetra. His market value is the same as the time he played with Chennaiyin FC in ISL 2016. The Mizo striker is undervalued in football markets after the team captain was hailed as the best player on the field last week.
Sandesh Jingan: 125000 Euro
Sandesh Jingan made a comeback in the team with his hard work in the last few years, and now he is completely fixed in the national team's set-up. He played for Kerala Blasters before joining Bangalore FC in ISL 2016. Jingan is moving very fast. When he played in ISL-3 last year, he was worth 25000 euros. After this, he played in the Indian team for only 12 months, and his market value has increased by 100000 Euro to 125000.
Jackichand Singh: 125000 Euros
Jackichand is also emerging as a star in the national team, just like Jingan. At the same time, their market value is increasing a lot. This is a player who has performed better for his country than for the club. Singh stunned everyone with his explosive performances for Royal Wahingdoh in the I-League 2014-15 season.
He then went on to play for Pune and Mumbai before joining East Bengal in the ISL this year. Jackie's current valuation is 125000 Euros which is the highest ever in his career. It is expected to increase further in the future.
Gurpreet Singh Sandhu: 100000 Euro
Gurpreet, the goalkeeper of the national team, is a brilliant player. The whole nation was proud of him when he played for Staubeck in the first-round qualifiers in the European League last season. According to Transfermarkt.com, playing in the European League has made him the most sought-after player in India. However, they received relatively little value; they are valued at 100000 euros.
Gurpreet helped India build three clean sheets on the spin this year. Their market value is expected to increase significantly in the future because he is the only player who has played in a European club and has traded with him.
