Athletistic / Football. Monaco midfielder Alexander Golovin is the most expensive Russian footballer according to Transfermarkt. It is worth noting that the 27-year-old Russian has now caught up with Argentina national team captain Lionel Messi in terms of transfer value.
In recent months, Golovin, according to Transfermarkt, has increased by 2 million euros – now he is valued at 30 million euros. But Messi, on the contrary, has become cheaper due to his age – the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner lost 5 million euros and is now also worth 30 million euros
This season, Alexander Golovin has played 26 matches for Monaco, scoring six goals and providing six assists. Lionel Messi in the 2024 season (MLS is played according to the spring-fall system) played five matches in all tournaments, scoring five goals and two assists.
Note that Transfermarkt’s estimated value reflects not only the player’s performance at a given moment, but also several other parameters, including age (the older the player, the lower his value will be).
