Fluminense vs. Boca Juniors: The Money, The Talent, and The Age
🔥 TOTAL MARKET VALUE OF THE CLUBS:
According to Transfermarkt, Fluminense holds a stunning market value of $80,880,000. Boca stands at a grand total of $83,810,000. Digging deeper, Fluminense boasts 18 players valued over a million dollars, while Boca impressively has 23.
🌟 STAR PLAYER VALUES:
On the Fluminense side, all eyes are on André, a 22-year-old prodigy who's been with the team for a decade. His current price tag? A cool $15.75 million. It's no wonder big European clubs, with Liverpool leading the pack, are keenly watching him.
Boca's answer to André is the 19-year-old sensation, Valentín Barco. Having spent nine years as a Xeneize, he's attracted attention from major European giants, notably Chelsea, with a valuation of $10 million. Both players are undoubtedly the present and future of continental football, but their club projection looks to be heading to the major leagues of Europe.
💰 VALUE OF THE STARTING LINEUPS:
As they gear up for the showdown at Maracanã, both Boca and Fluminense's starting elevens carry hefty market values. Fluminense's lineup is estimated at $42,260,000 while Boca's squad edges slightly higher at $44,410,000.
🕰️ AGE DIFFERENCES:
The teams showcase quite contrasting average ages. Fluminense, for instance, fields a lineup peppered with players in their thirties and even forties. With seasoned players like Fábio (goalkeeper) at 43, Felipe Melo at 40, Marcelo and Germán Cano both at 35, Keno and Ganso at 34, their average age comes to 31 years and eight months.
On the flip side, Boca's lineup leans younger. Spearheaded by the experienced Uruguayan, Edinson Cavani and goalkeeper Sergio Romero, both 36, their youthful midfield featuring players like Medina; Ezequiel Fernández, 21, and Valentín Barco, 19, brings their average age down to 28. In a nutshell, Boca's starting eleven is almost four years younger than Fluminense's star-studded lineup. This age difference might be a game-changer, especially if the final extends into extra time!
