£59.7m

Reds star named as the sixth most valuable player in Europe in latest Football Observatory research

Liverpool star Raheem Sterling’s transfer value is £59.7m, according to an independent football research company.

The Football Observatory, a research group within the International Centre for Sports Studies, has published its latest monthly report, entitled ‘Transfer Values and Probabilities’.

In it, Sterling, who has been persistently linked with a move away from Anfield this summer, is listed as the player with the sixth-highest transfer value, at £59.7m. Only Lionel Messi, Eden Hazard, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Sergio Aguero are ranked higher.

Reds teammate Philippe Coutinho, meanwhile, is 17th on the list, with an estimated transfer value of £40.8m, while Jordan Henderson’s £25.8m valuation leaves him in 48th place. Emre Can (£24.8m) and Daniel Sturridge (£18.4m) also feature in the top 100.

The research takes into account a variety of factors, including age, performance, contract length and international status. It is claimed within the report that many of the most valuable players this summer will be under 23, naming Sterling, Juventus star Paul Pogba and Harry Kane, of Spurs.

Sterling is ranked fourth in the list of players with the 'greatest probability of a paid transfer' this summer. QPR striker Charlie Austin is number one on that list, ahead of Albin Ekdal (Cagliari) and Paulo Dybala (Palermo). Coutinho is ranked 53rd.

Liverpool, as a club, are fifth on the ‘aggregated transfer values by club’ list, below only Barcelona, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Arsenal. The total value of their squad is estimated at £280.8m.

£59.7m for Sterling, big money. I'd want more than £40m for Coutino though! Can's value has risen by £14m this season.

 

£60m for Little Richard?

What they smokin' in that Observatory?

 

Would take it now. Come on city.

 

I believe it's called "+£1", best bud around, they buy it from Wenger

 

59m is nuts. Based on last season anyways, no way

 

On recent form £25m looks ****ing generous tbf.

 

Shush! Very much yes way. You hear that Man City? Very much yes way!

 

I seriously doubt City would offer over 40m and only that high because its a PL team they are buying from and he's an English international.

So i really think this stuff is completely non real world and applies silly values to certain attributes

If any reds fan wantts to have a gush o nthis fine.

1. Henderson - increased in value 1.5x
2. sterling obviousyl increased in value 10x
3. Coutinho increased in value 4x
4. can increase 2x
5. sturridge increase in value but 1/3rd

overall its a compelte so what kind of thing.

 

yeah... you are of course right but when did sense ever enter it.

 

Maybe Spurs will in an early bid of 12m just in case it goes to a tribunal in 2yrs.

 

Just want to spoil the party for Liverpool.

 

Yeah, they have a habit of doing that to us.

 

They have Harry Kane and wants Ings too.

 

They never really wanted Ings, they just wanted us to pay more for him because Levy doesn't seem to like us.

 

Oh stop being pedantic. Least you found your way back from that brief holiday in melancholy you batard

It's all cack, we know it's cack. Literal much

 

I'm going to get these guys to value my house.

 

Dunno what you'll get for a Ger these days mate

 

How much did they value Barkley??

 

The minute you see he is in the top 6 but Suarez is not is when it dawns on you that it`s a complete joke
