Allsvenskan talent is increasing

The market value update after the end of the season in the Swedish Allsvenkan is once again dominated by the great talents that the league has repeatedly produced in recent years. This ensures that the hegemony of champions Malmö FF in terms of squad values is challenged by runner-up Hammarby IF. With Alexander Ahl Holmström (25) from GAIS, there is also a seasoned professional among the winners – the striker is moving to 1.FC Magdeburg on a free transfer in January.
Ahl Holmström increases his market value by 200,000 to his personal high of one million euros. “The goalscorer moved from city rivals Örgryte to GAIS before the start of the 2023 season and contributed to the Gothenburg team returning to the Allsvenskan at the end of the season, which they last belonged to in 2012. This season he established himself in the upper house, achieved a strong sixth place with GAIS and contributed eleven goals,” explains TM expert and market value administrator Luca Reitz (“WS74DO”).
Since this update, the left winger Bazoumana Touré (18), who is coveted by some Bundesliga clubs, is at home in significantly higher market value areas. The Hammarby talent became the most valuable Allsvenskan professional in September and is now expanding this status with a jump of 3 million to 9 million euros. “At 18 years old, he is one of the best offensive players in the league. If he leaves, it is likely that Hammarby will receive a record transfer fee,” said Reitz about Touré in the update three months ago.
Hammarby talent with market value plus: Close to Malmö
With center forward Jusef Erabi (21), who is rising by one to 6 million euros and thus holds sole second place in the ranking, and the midfield talents Divine Teah (18) and Markus Karlsson (20), Hammarby has further youngsters in the squad, who are or could soon make the leap into a bigger league. Teah, who moves to Slavia Prague in January, increases by 900 percent to €3 million, while Karlsson doubles to the same market value. These four players, among others, ensure that Hammarby increases its squad value by 11.1 million euros (38.7 percent), meaning it is no longer even one million euros behind Malmö (40.2 million euros; for statistics).
Winger Hugo Bolin (21) is the big winner at champions Malmö: He jumps by one million euros to 5 million euros and is now tied with Häcken eighth player Romeo Amane (21; unchanged market value) as the third most valuable player in Sweden. Reitz says about the national player: “Bolin was able to establish himself as a regular player in the summer, impressed in the league with twelve goals when Malmö was able to defend the title in the 100th Allsvenskan season, and he also made a few international appearances. It is likely that he will be the next Malmö winger after Sebastian Nanasi to move to a top 5 league, although not yet in the winter.”
In addition, the TM market value admin highlights the central midfielder Besfort Zeneli (22) from IF Elfsborg. This climbs by one million euros to 2.5 million euros: “Zeneli became a regular player in the summer when long-time Elfsborg coach Jimmy Thelin moved to Aberdeen, Oscar Hiljemark became the new coach and immediately made targeted personnel changes. Zeneli quickly became one of the faces of an in-form team that ensured that Elfsborg put the weak start to the season behind them, which followed the championship being lost in a direct duel in Malmö on the final day of the 2023 season. They played their part in an exceptionally strong Swedish European Cup season, with Elfsborg reaching the group/league stage of a European Cup for the first time since 2013. The club has a good chance of progressing in the Europa League after, for example, they were able to surprise with a win against Roma.”
This is how transfer market market values work
The transfer market market values are created taking into account various pricing models as well as a strong involvement of the transfer market community, which deals with the values in detailed discussions. The transfer market market values cannot generally be equated with the transfer fees actually paid.
The goal is not to predict a price, but rather an expected value. When determining the market value, both individual transfer modalities and situational conditions are relevant to a certain extent. Examples of this will be here listed. Transfermarkt does not use an algorithm (for a detailed definition of market value).
