Santos makes his debut in the Sudamericana this Tuesday, against Blooming-BOL, for the first round of group E. To try to shine in the competition, Peixe bets on two young forwards: Ângelo and Marcos Leonardo.
The alvinegra duo leads the league table of most valuable players in the continental competition, according to data from Transfermarkt.
Marcos Leonardo leads the list. The number 9 shirt has a market value of 14 million euros (about R$ 77.3 million at current prices). The 19-year-old Menino da Vila is Alvinegro Praiano’s top scorer, with six goals in 13 games this season.
Angelo, in turn, is valued at 13 million euros (about R$ 71.7 million). The 18-year-old striker is one of the great hopes of the Santos base, but he is having a year of ups and downs. In all there are 11 games and one assist.
The top 3 is closed by the Italian naturalized Argentine Mateo Retegui, from Tigre-ARG. The 23-year-old striker has attracted attention and already has a call-up for the Italy national team. The marker has a market value of R $ 44.1 million.
Besides Marcos Leonardo and Ângelo, Santos still has two other names among the 10 most valuable players in the Sulamericana. João Paulo is fifth and Soteldo seventh. Both have a value of R $ 38.6 million.
Santos will visit Blooming-BOL this Tuesday in a match valid for the first round of Group E of the 2023 Copa Sudamericana. The ball rolls onto the grass of the Ramón Aguilera Costas stadium, in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, from 9pm: 30 (of Brasilia).
