The Spanish football league, La Liga, has seen a notable decline in the market values of several prominent players during 2024. A recent report from the Spanish newspaper "AS" highlights that among the 15 players whose market values have dropped, a significant number hail from the league's top clubs, including Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid.
