“…The website provides independent estimates of players’ market value and is regularly updated (last update in March 2020) by more than 190,000 professional and non-professional individuals with the approval of Transfermarkt.de experts [ 17 , 20 ]. Transfermarkt.de has been used in several previous studies [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ], and has been shown to be a valid and useful database for game performance indicators and market values [ 17 ]. Data exported for this study included birthdate, market value, nationality, club and playing position.…”
