The Liga MX Apertura 2022 Tournament has already begun and to the surprise perhaps of some fans, the most valuable squad is not Tigres or Monterrey, but America.
Despite the fact that in recent years the two Monterrey clubs have shown great purchasing power with signings such as André-Pierre Gignac, Rogelio Funes Mori, Florian Thuavin or Esteban Andrada, as a whole they are not the most valuable in Mexico.
The most expensive signings in the history of Liga MX
Which is the best Mexican soccer team?
After the signings of Jonathan 'Cabecita' Rodríguez, Néstor Araujo and Jürgen Damm, the value of the América squad rose and it is now the number 1 in Mexico.
For this Apertura 2022, América has the squad with the highest market value in Liga MX, according to the specialized site Transfermarkt. The market value of the 25 players of the 'Águilas' totals 84.7 million dollars, making it the most expensive squad in Mexican soccer.
Monterrey's squad is second with a value of 76.67 million dollars, while Tigres' squad is valued at 75.57 million dollars. It should be noted that the 'Águilas' squad currently consists of 25 players, while that of 'Rayados' is 22 and that of Tigres 24. The transfer period in Liga MX is still open and the Monterrey team could surpass the capital club in value.
In addition, Transfermarkt is currently considering Alonso Escoboza in the América squad, who returned from his loan with Necaxa and is the only player who is not registered by the 'Águilas' for the 2022 Apertura and it is rumored that Cruz Azul is interested in signing him.
In average value per player, Monterrey is number one with 3.49 million dollars per player; América follows with 3.39 million dollars and Tigres is third with 3.15 million dollars.
