Transfermarkt’s data suggests that Balázs Dzsudzsák is no longer the most valuable Hungarian football player, reports nemzetisport.hu. Dzsudzsák, who is currently playing as a winger for UAE club Al Wahda FC, was overtaken by a Yugoslavian-born Hungarian footballer, Nemanja Nikolics.
Nemanja Nikolics is a Yugoslavian-born Hungarian footballer who plays as a striker for Major League Soccer club Chicago Fire. He began his career with his brother at FK Senta. In 2008, he was signed by Kaposvár. He scored 30 goals in just 49 matches, and many top Hungarian sides wanted to sign him including Újpest, Ferencváros and Videoton. He joined the Chicago Fire for a reported transfer fee of $3 million in 2016.
Nikolics had a marvellous season this year, and he received many awards:
Based on their estimated transfer fees, Nikolics is worth EUR 4.5 million, so his value increased a lot within one year, while Dzsudzsák’s estimated value decreased a lot. He was the most valuable Hungarian footballer for a long time, and now he is worth EUR 4.25 million.
Balázs Dzsudzsák began his football career at his hometown club Debreceni VSC where he was winning consecutive league titles in each season before he departed to PSV in 2008, ending the season with the Eredivisie title.
