    <p>Following the Major League Soccer update earlier this month, Transfermarkt has now made adjustments for the other major league in CONCACAF. A total of 116 players in Liga MX have seen shifts in their market values. Notably, US men’s national team striker Álex Zendejas has emerged as a significant benefactor, increasing his value from €8 million to €9 million. Meanwhile, Tigres UANL's Ángel Correa experienced a decline in value, dropping from €10 million to €9 million, allowing Zendejas to become the joint most valuable player in Liga MX.</p>

    <p>“Alex Zendejas has steadily proven himself as one of Mexican football's most reliable players,” noted Area Manager Mexico, Osvaldo González Camacho. “As a central figure in Club América’s historic three-peat, he has recorded nearly 50 goal contributions over the past two seasons (13 assists and 12 goals in 2024/25, and 14 goals with 9 assists the previous year). Even in the ongoing Apertura, where his performance has been less spectacular, Zendejas remains productive with 2 goals and 2 assists in nine league matches. His consistent play has once again secured him a position on the US men’s national team, which is in need of attacking options.”</p>

    <p>The former FC Dallas player isn’t the only ex-MLS talent to make a splash in this market value update. Éfrain Álvarez, previously with LA Galaxy, transferred to the prestigious Chivas from Club Tijuana for $7 million (€6.85 million). Consequently, his market value has increased from €5.5 million to €6.5 million. Since joining his new team, Álvarez has contributed two goals and two assists across 12 games. Although his scoring might not be eye-catching, Álvarez's versatility in multiple positions adds to his market appeal.</p>

    <h2>Liga MX Market Value Update – Sergio Ramos Records Another Decline</h2>
    <br>

    <p>Among the notable declines in the recent market value update was that of Sergio Ramos, the former Real Madrid captain now with CF Monterrey. The 39-year-old's value has dropped from €1.2 million to €1 million. When he first made his mark with Sevilla as an 18-year-old, his starting market value was €7 million. Thus, every decrease at this point in his career sets a new negative benchmark. Ramos isn’t the only player from Monterrey facing a decline; Lucas Ocampos also saw his market value fall by 8.3%, from €6 million to €5.5 million.</p>

    <p><strong><em>Understanding Transfermarkt Market Values</em></strong></p>
    <br>

    <p><em>Market values on Transfermarkt are calculated using various pricing models. A significant influence comes from the Transfermarkt community, where members engage in detailed discussions and evaluations of player values. It’s important to note that Transfermarkt market values should not be directly equated with transfer fees.</em></p>

    <p><em>The objective is to provide an estimated value of a player in an open market. A variety of individual transfer methods and situational factors contribute to determining these values, as outlined below. Transfermarkt does not employ an algorithm (you can find the complete market value definition here).</em></p>
