10 Premier League Stars Who Lost Market Value in 2025

The Premier League is home to some of the best footballing talent in the world. However, not all players have had a successful year in 2025. Some of the league’s top stars have seen significant drops in their market value, as a result of poor form, injuries, or age catching up with them. According to figures released by Transfermarkt, several high-profile players, including stars from Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool, experienced declines in their market value this year. Below, we break down the top 10 Premier League stars whose market value took a hit in 2025.

1. Phil Foden (Manchester City) – €60 Million

After a rough start to the year, Phil Foden has regained some form with a strong recent run of six goals in his past five Premier League matches. However, his market value dropped drastically in 2025 due to his prolonged dip in form last season. The 25-year-old’s slow start to this campaign hasn’t helped his case either. While his recent resurgence is encouraging, Foden’s early struggles have led to a drop of €60 million in his value.

2. Rodri (Manchester City) – €55 Million

Rodri’s market value has taken a significant hit following his lengthy recovery from an ACL injury that kept him out for most of the 2024-25 season. Although many expected the midfielder to return to his best, he has struggled to regain the form that once made him one of the Premier League’s top midfielders. With injuries continuing to limit his appearances in 2025, his market value has dropped by €55 million, down from his previous high. The competition for a starting spot at City, with players like Nico Gonzalez impressing, has further reduced Rodri’s value.

3. Martin Ødegaard (Arsenal) – €35 Million

Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard has also seen his market value decline by €35 million in 2025. Ødegaard struggled with injuries early on in the campaign and failed to regain his best form during crucial moments. While his leadership and contributions to the team are still valued, he has not been the same standout performer he was in previous seasons. This decline has resulted in a significant loss in his market value.

4. Bernardo Silva (Manchester City) – €33 Million

Despite being one of Manchester City’s most talented players, Bernardo Silva has seen his market value drop by €33 million. Age and the club’s inconsistent form in 2024 have played a significant role in this decline. Silva has lost a bit of his flair and impact this season, with younger players beginning to take his place in the starting lineup. Still, Silva remains a valuable asset, but his market value reflects the challenges he faces as he approaches the later stages of his career.

5. Florian Wirtz (Liverpool) – €30 Million

Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz has not lived up to expectations since joining the club. Despite showing glimpses of potential, he has often struggled to integrate himself into Liverpool’s attacking setup. There are times when he seems to be avoiding the ball or lacking chemistry with his teammates, which has damaged his market value. The €30 million drop in his value is a reflection of these struggles, leaving many to wonder if Liverpool made a poor investment in the talented German.

6. James Maddison (Tottenham Hotspur) – €30 Million

Tottenham’s James Maddison had his season cut short by a devastating ACL tear in a pre-season friendly against Newcastle. While he remains a key figure for Spurs when fit, his absence has cost him dearly in terms of market value. With Tottenham missing his creative presence in midfield, Maddison’s value has dropped by €30 million. While his recovery is ongoing, his market value remains in a downward spiral due to the uncertainty surrounding his return to full fitness.

7. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – €22 Million

Mohamed Salah, the talismanic forward for Liverpool, has had a tough year in 2025. Despite enjoying a spectacular 2024-25 season, which saw him spearhead Liverpool’s title push, his form has dipped sharply since the autumn. Factors like grief over the loss of teammate Diogo Jota and the passage of time have affected Salah’s performances. He was even benched by manager Arne Slot during parts of the season. This downturn, combined with his age (33), has resulted in a €22 million decrease in his market value.

8. Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) – €22 Million

Ollie Watkins had a breakthrough season in 2024, scoring 27 goals across all competitions for Aston Villa and even featuring in the Euro 2024 semi-finals with England. However, since then, his form has significantly dipped. Despite Villa’s overall strong performances, Watkins has only managed to score three goals in 24 appearances in 2025. With his 30th birthday looming, the striker’s market value has dropped by €22 million. This decline comes despite ongoing speculation linking him to clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United.

9. Ben White (Arsenal) – €22 Million

Arsenal’s Ben White has seen his market value plummet by €22 million in 2025. White, who once impressed with his marauding runs down the right flank, has struggled to find his place in the team. Several injuries, coupled with the signing of Jurrien Timber, have limited his playing time, relegating him to Carabao Cup appearances for much of the year. At 28, White’s decline in form has led to a significant fall in his market value, especially given the competition for his position.

10. Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal) – €22 Million

Finally, Gabriel Jesus has seen his market value drop by €22 million in 2025. Injuries have kept the Brazilian striker sidelined for much of the year, and his chances to prove himself have been limited. With Kai Havertz and other attacking players occupying key positions, Jesus has found himself out of the starting lineup. Despite this, he remains a talented player, but his market value has been severely impacted by his injury woes and the uncertainty surrounding his future at Arsenal.

Conclusion

In 2025, several Premier League stars experienced significant drops in their market value. For some, injuries have been the primary factor, while for others, a lack of form or the arrival of younger, more dynamic players has contributed to their decline. The most notable drops in value belong to players who were once at the peak of their careers but are now facing challenges in maintaining their previous levels of performance.

For fans, these fluctuations in market value serve as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of football. Players who shine one season can see their value plummet the next, while others can rise to prominence out of nowhere. As the 2025-26 season continues, these players will be hoping for a resurgence to reclaim their market value and reaffirm their place among the Premier League’s elite stars.
