How much is Gelson Martins now worth in the transfer window?

AS Monaco is a club which succeeded in the Portuguese. During the last decade, talented players like Bernardo Silva, Joao Moutinho or Rony Lopes have played on the Rock. Gelson Martins takes the suitcases in terms of nationality and talent. The winger, trained at Sporting, was loaned to ASM by Atlético de Madrid in January 2019, before being reinstated by the Monegasques the following summer, against 30 million euros. Despite undeniable potential, the 27-year-old is finding it difficult to establish himself in the Principality club, and this is reflected on its market value.
The rating of the AS Monaco player drops on the transfer window
Estimated at 28 million at the start of the 2019-2020 season, Gelson Martins failed to produce the performance necessary to maintain his valuation. The latter has slowly but surely declined throughout his Monegasque adventure. It now reaches 15 million euros, or nearly 50% drop in two seasons. The observation is the same for the Football Observatory, since the CIES estimates it at between 10 and 15 million euros. A mixed journey for the winger, whose contract expires in June 2024.
Gelson Martins has had to deal with numerous injuries
However, despite injuries and a long suspension this season, the number 7 has never played as many minutes as in 2021-2022. Good preparation and a good start to the exercise, especially during the play-offs to qualify for the Champions League, could allow the right-hander to continue to gain confidence and playing time. Last March, Philippe Clément, his coach, underlined in a press conference, that regularity was what the Portuguese lacked to pass a stage. A return to form from the former colchonero could greatly help Wissam Ben Yedder and company in 2022-2023.
