Europe where players assume a key role. In recent years, we have assisted to an inflation of the players
price which may represent a profligacy problem to the European football teams. Consequently, is
important to understand which factors influence the transfer market value of football players. Recent
studies suggest that the transfer market value depends on many factors, including the performance
measures. These measures quantify the abilities that each player executes in the pitch. Despite the
developments made on this field, few studies considered the specifications of each position in the
performance measures selection. Therefore, this study aims to understand the impact of the
performance measures in the players of top six European leagues in the last three seasons, considering
each position group. For this, fixed effect regression was run and the results revealed that goalkeepers
market value has a positive correlation with the number of games without conceiving goals. The
defensive duels and the aerials duels won per minute have a negative correlation for the defenders.
The number of assists affects positively the transfer market value of midfielders and goals have a great
impact in these players and attackers’ value. This research intent to produce relevant insights to
agents that have an active role in football transfer market.
