About James Rodríguez and other football players

The standards of life indicate that every human being must improve each year. This philosophy, logically, also applies to football, although it does not apply to everyone. This could summarize what the last seasons have been for James Rodríguez.

The Colombian star has regressed in his career. He went from being an absolute protagonist in Real Madrid with a value of 70 million euros, to becoming just another player in Bayern Munich with 50 million in his contract. Undoubtedly, that's what we call a devalued player.

Like James Rodríguez, there are other cases that we will present below. For example, regular benchings caused Thomas Müller to go from 75,000,000€ to 50,000,000€. That means he lost 33.3% of his value. Check out the following gallery based on data from the specialized portal 'Transfermarkt'.
