With the start of a new Primera Nacional season, an analysis of budgets and squad market values reveals a significant gap between the main promotion contenders. Godoy Cruz, following its recent relegation after 17 years in the top flight, comfortably leads the ranking of the most valuable teams in the division with a total valuation of 14.1 million euros, establishing itself as the team to beat by its own merit.

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

As for individual players, the Santa Fe club boasts prominent names that raise the average for the division. Among the most valuable footballers are Federico Lértora, a key figure in midfield, and Uruguayan striker José Neris. However, Neris’s situation is generating anticipation among the “rojinegro” fans, as although he currently holds a spot on the professional roster and adds value to the squad, his immediate future at the club remains uncertain due to possible offers.
