TransfersAlkmaar listed 91-rated Jan Kehrer at 50M SVC this morning and Leverkusen bid that exact amount 82 minutes later. It's the biggest live bid on the market by a long way. Alkmaar would lose 10.3M on the 60.3M they paid in August, and the auction closes on Wednesday.
TransfersParis have listed 92-rated Lucas Lopes Beraldo three times since 25 July, cutting the price from 200M to 160M SVC, and have not had a single bid. His agent, protagonist, has the player set to accept a transfer but not a new contract, and only 11 clubs in the game have 160M in the bank.
TransfersStuttgart have cut the asking price for their 92-rated left-back from 244.1M to 99.1M SVC across three listings since 27 August, and he hasn't had one bid. Their 12-times-value pricing worked once in September, but nobody rated 90 or above on the market has a bid right now.
TransfersBarcelona listed 91-rated Andreas Bødtker Christensen at 150M SVC on 4 July and cut the price to 110M on 18 August, but no club has ever bid. Jules Koundé went up the same day at the same price and sold to Bayern for 140M.
TransfersLiverpool have listed Mohamed Salah Hamed six times since January, cutting his asking price from 300M to 120M SVC, and have not had a single bid. The current ask is 8.32 times his game value and would be the biggest fee ever paid for a player aged 34 or over.
TransfersLiverpool's 93-rated Virgil van Dijk is injured until 13 November but still listed at 130M SVC, with no bids in 84 days. That's ten times his 12.97M game value and more than the 119.15M record for a player aged 35 or over.
TransfersParis have listed 92-rated Lucas Lopes Beraldo for 160M SVC, the live market’s second-highest asking price, but no bid has arrived since August 20. The ask is 4.18 times his 38.28M SVC game value, and the auction has neither started nor gained a deadline.
TransfersStuttgart’s unnamed 92-rated left-back remains listed at 99,132,303 SVC with no bids, an unstarted auction and no closing time. The ask is 4.87 times his game-listed value despite his status as a regular and joint-highest-rated player.
TransfersLiverpool’s 130M SVC asking price for 93-rated Virgil van Dijk has attracted no bids since July 16. The league leaders also have Mohamed Salah Hamed listed at 120M, making a silent 250M double-star sale.
TransfersBarcelona’s 150M SVC asking price for 97-rated Frenkie de Jong has drawn no bids since the listing appeared on 22 July. He is the live market’s highest-rated player, but the price sits 99.38M SVC above his game value.
TransfersMosta have signed James Lyon from Maryhill for 99,375 SVC with the auction’s only bid. His zero league minutes, 11-point rating decline and Maryhill’s stronger alternatives explain the sale, while Mosta have made a cheap depth bet rather than an immediate upgrade.
TransfersMaster have sold 73-rated Abdurahman Al Dakheel to Al Rayyan for 6,883,170 SVC, almost exactly 12 times his game value. The Laos leaders banked a huge return despite losing their best-rated player, while an equal Philadelphia bid and overlapping influence holdings add intrigue to the completed deal.
