Market values Denmark: 200% plus for Sulemana - Faghir & Schjelderup in focus
Transfermarkt has updated the market values of the Danish Superligaen and re-evaluated several players. Kamaldeen Sulemana saw his market value jump by 200%, one of the biggest increases in the league. The 19-year-old attacking player from FC Nordsjælland has seen his market value increase from €3 million to €9 million—he is now the most valuable player in Denmark's first division.
The Ghanaian was signed by Nordsjælland on a free transfer in February 2020 from the Right to Dream Academy. Sulemana scored 14 goals and eight assists in 43 games across all competitions, and the two times national team player, who is still under contract until 2024, is on one of the hottest prospects of the league. Manchester United and Olympique Lyon are among the clubs interested.
New market values Superligaen: Young stars Schjelderup & Faghir impress
Remarkable is also the market value increase of Sulemana's teammate Andreas Schjelderup. The attacking player turned 17 on Jun. 1 and had a previous market value of just €100,000. But after being involved in six goals across 16 games, the super talent now has a market value of €3 million. Also upgraded was Jens Cajuste. The 21-year-old FC Midtjylland defensive midfielder has played four times for Sweden and impressed for the Danish champions. Cajuste is up by €2 million to now €5 million.
Another talented striker had an even bigger increase. Seventeen-year-old Wahid Faghir saw his market value increase by 500% from €300,000 to €5 million after scoring six goals and two assists in 30 games for Vejle Boldklub this season. Several clubs, including Tottenham, are scouting Faghir.
The Transfermarkt market values are calculated, taking into account various pricing models. A major factor is the Transfermarkt community, whose members discuss and evaluate player market values in detail. In general, the Transfermarkt market values are not to be equated with transfer fees. The goal is not to predict a price but an expected value of a player in a free market. Both individual transfer modalities and situational conditions are relevant in determining market values. Examples of this are listed below. Transfermarkt does not use an algorithm (you can find the detailed market value definition here).
