Pietuszewski fires in €8m deal, signs biggest pay rise in Primeira Liga | OneFootball

The specialized portal Transfermarkt proceeded, this Thursday, with the latest review of the market values of the I Liga, reflecting the immediate impact that Oskar Pietuszewski had since his arrival at FC Porto, in the last winter transfer window, coming from Jagiellonia Bialystok, for a fee that could reach ten million euros.

Even without being registered in the Europa League, the player, just 17 years old, already has three goals and one assist after nine official matches wearing the dragon's jersey, along with a series of high-level performances, which increased his value by eight million euros, to 20 million euros, an appreciation of about 66.7% compared to the previous amount, unparalleled in the top tier of Portuguese football.

The only two players who come close to the young Polish promise in this regard belong to the eternal rivals. They are Luis Suárez, from Sporting, and Andreas Schjelderup, from Benfica, whose market values increased, in both cases, by six million euros, raising the Colombian's pass to 28 million euros and the Norwegian's to 20 million euros.

In percentage terms, the biggest increases belong, however, to Daniel Banjaqui, from Benfica, Oumar Camara, from Vitória SC (both with 400%, to five million euros), and his teammate, Diogo Sousa (also 400%, but to 1.5 million euros).

Morten Hjulmand, from Sporting, and Samu Aghehowa, from FC Porto, remain the most valuable players in the I Liga, despite both having suffered a reduction of five million euros in their respective economic rights compared to the last update, made on December 18, now valued at 45 million euros.

The devaluation of the Spanish international is largely explained by the serious injury suffered in the Classic with the lions, on February 9, which, according to all indications, should keep him off the field until the end of the current 2025/26 season. As for the Dane, it is mainly associated with less successful performances during this period.

This decline ended up affecting several of the main names in the national championship, such as Gonçalo Inácio (down five million euros, to 40 million), Geovany Quenda (down three million, to 42 million), Vangelis Pavlidis (down three million, to 32 million) or Anatoliy Trubin (down three million, to 25 million).

The one who felt this effect the most, in percentage terms, was Luuk de Jong, a player from FC Porto who is also going through a serious physical problem, and saw his value drop by 33.3%, to one million euros.
