Boca overtake River as Argentina’s most valuable team | OneFootball

For the first time in over a year and a half, Boca Juniors has regained the lead in the ranking of the most valuable teams in Argentine football, displacing River Plate after a sharp decline in the valuation of the Millionaire team. Additionally, Xeneize is the only local team to be part of the top 10 in South America.

Until just three weeks ago, River dominated comfortably: it started August with a value of 126.7 million euros, surpassing Boca's valuation (90.5 M€) by more than 36 million. However, the departure of four key players caused a 30.8% collapse in the market value of the team led by Marcelo Gallardo. The biggest blow came with the departure of Franco Mastantuono to Real Madrid.

In contrast, Boca suffered only a minimal variation: it started August with 90.53 M€ and, after the departure of Marcos Rojo (300,000 €) to Racing, its valuation stood at 90.23 million euros, enough to climb to the top spot. Xeneize had not occupied this position since January 2024, when its valuation of 85.35 M€ surpassed that of River (80.75 M€, according to data from the specialized site Transfermarkt.

Boca is once again at the top of all Argentine clubs.

On an individual level, neither of the two giants has players valued at over 10 million euros today. However, Boca maintains a slight advantage: its most valuable player is Kevin Zenón (9 M€), while River's most valuable player is Kevin Castaño (8 M€). At the continental level, Xeneize ranks ninth and is the only Argentine team present in the top 10 of the most valuable teams in South America, a ranking dominated almost entirely by the economic power of Brazilian clubs.
