Striker Dani Gómez, who is close to leaving this group of players by signing with a Japanese league club, and midfielders Toni Moya and Raúl Guti feature in a ranking that also includes hugely influential names in Spanish football such as Dani Carvajal and Sergio Ramos. In fact, the three players who were part of the club's fall from the professional ranks have the same market value (€0.8 million) as the veteran and legendary Real Madrid and Spain center-back.
The main reason, and the key difference that puts them at the same level in terms of market value, is age. While Ramos turned 40 last March, none of the three former Real Zaragoza players is over 30: Guti is 29, while Moya and Dani Gómez are 28. It is another example of the squad's limited quality last season.
With these figures, the list is led by former Real Madrid player Dani Carvajal, with a market value of €4 million. He is followed by Joselu, valued at €2.8 million, while Álex Pozo and Pol Lirola, two other players under 30, occupy third and fourth place, respectively, both valued at €1.5 million.
SEVENTH, EIGHTH AND NINTH
Fifth place goes to Dani Parejo, valued at €1 million, followed by veteran Pedro Rodríguez, who is also valued at €1 million. That is when the three footballers who wore the Real Zaragoza shirt last season appear, although they could not prevent relegation.
Dani Gómez, Toni Moya and Raúl Guti occupy seventh, eighth and ninth place, respectively, in a list rounded out by Sergio Ramos. As a result, the Aragonese side has three representatives in this ranking who are still searching for a destination where they can continue developing their professional careers.
