aThe coronavirus has impacted many aspects within football, notably the shutdown, postponement and termination of leagues. It has also had an affect on the transfer market. In Scotland the summer window only opened on Tuesday.
The pandemic has altered budgets and the value of players with clubs unwilling or unable to spend large amounts on transfer fees. Conversely, moving players on could be problematic with teams operating with smaller squads. With the English Premier League and Championship coming to an end it will ramp up as SPFL stars are linked with possible moves.
Celtic and Rangers, of course, dominate the most valuable players in the country, according to Transfermarkt. Out of interest and with a large pinch of salt, we rank the top 14 in the SPFL where there are some very low values which would prompt only laughter in the halls of Parkhead and Ibrox.
13. Alfredo Morelos - £10.8m
The Colombian’s value has risen dramatically in the last 18 months from £2.7m to a high of £13.5m. Even that wouldn’t likely tempt Rangers. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
14. Odsonne Edouard - £12.15m
Clubs can forget about getting the player for the above value. It is absurdly low. Teams will have to double it then throw some more change into the bargain as well. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
