With the start of a new season in the Primera Nacional, the analysis of budgets and market value of the squads reveals a significant gap between the main candidates for promotion. Godoy Cruz, following its recent relegation after 17 years in the elite, comfortably leads the ranking of the most valuable teams in the category with a total valuation of 14.1 million euros, establishing itself as the team to beat by its own weight.

In this hierarchy scenario, Colón appears as the immediate runner-up in economic terms. The "Sabalero" team boasts a squad valued at 8.8 million euros, a figure that places it in the privileged group but still far from the top occupied by the Mendoza team. The podium is completed, much further behind, by Deportivo Madryn, which with a value of 5.6 million euros consolidates itself as the third team with the highest capital invested in its players for this tournament.

Regarding individual players, the Santa Fe club has prominent names that raise the category's average. Among the most valuable players are Federico Lértora, a midfield reference, and the Uruguayan forward José Neris. However, Neris's situation generates anticipation in the "rojinegro" world, as, although he currently holds a place in the professional roster and adds value to the squad, his immediate future at the institution remains uncertain due to possible offers.
