The Colombian has established himself as one of the best in the world

This afternoon Transfermarkt, updated the values of all Premier League players and the Colombian footballer Luis Fernando Díaz Marulanda appears among the top 20 most expensive players in the sport. He also reaches the PSG's 10. Since his arrival at the 'Reds' the 'guajiro' has raised his quality of play and that has increased his current cost, placing him in the 19th position with a value of 75 million euros equaling Neymar and Korean Heung-min Son striker of Tottenham Hotspur.

Luis Díaz has already played 35 games in a Liverpool shirt and has managed to score ten goals. He has five assists and has already won three titles, as well as being nominated for the Ballon d'Or, alongside players such as his teammate, Egyptian Mohamed Salah, Karim Benzema, Vinicius Junior, Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland, among other great stars of world football.

Luis Diaz is already one of the most expensive players in the world

From the month of June where he was last surveyed, to the current month the Colombian has risen 10 million euros, 5 million short of James Rodriguez's record when he was sold to Real Madrid for 80 million euros, as the most expensive Colombian player in history. The Colombian arrived in January 2022 as one of the promising quality players for the Merseyside outfit and, since then, he has not disappointed with his play, bringing dynamism and pace to Klopp's side's attack.

The top of the ranking as the most highly paid player is still France's Kylian Mbappé, the young star of the Parisian team. It is a pity that a player of his quality has not been able to qualify for the next edition of the World Cup, which this year takes place in Qatar. Colombia was eliminated after a series of bad results.

<strong>Díaz has had a great growth</strong>

In less than a year, the Colombian striker's value has doubled. According to calculations by CIES, he has increased his salary by 64 million pounds sterling and it is estimated that his value on the market could rise if he continues with his exponential growth in performance. He has had an increase of 10 million euros in the last three occasions and is behind James Rodriguez, who so far still holds the record as the most valuable among Colombian players in the last ten years. He reached 80.00 million euros in 2015.
