Neither Messi nor Julian Alvarez, the most expensive player of the Argentine National Team

The Argentine National Team returns to a new FIFA International Break, now with another round of qualifying towards the 2026 World Cup. Lionel Scaloni's team seeks to continue its good pace in CONMEBOL and increasingly ensure its presence in the next World Cup, this to avoid surprises in the following years, where there is also a Copa América involved. Now, before returning to action, the value of the Argentine soccer players on the team is revealed and it is surprising to see who is the most expensive player of all.

Lautaro Martínez, Inter's top scorer, heads the list closely followed by Julián Álvarez -who has seen great growth in recent months with Manchester City- and Enzo Fernández -bought for €80M by Chelsea-. The Inter Milan player has a current value of 85 million dollars and is one of the players in the best moment with his respective club. This despite the fact that his performance with the Argentine National Team has not been the best of all in recent months, and that for many, Julian Alvarez should be the team's starter.

Due to a logical question of age, at 36 years old the captain's valuation began to decrease, especially after his departure from Barcelona. The peak, according to Transfermarkt, reached €180M in 2018. Still, he is the 8th highest valued Argentine and the most valuable in the entire MLS. However, for many years, Lionel Messi was the most valuable footballer of the Argentine National Team and could become the most expensive of all time.

Argentina's calendar in this FIFA International Break

CONMEBOL made official the games that will be played for the world champions. This will be repeated with the previous one, therefore, those led by Lionel Scaloni already know their itinerary. October will begin the South American confrontations. They will receive Paraguay, later they will go to “Inca lands” in Peru. Argentines and Uruguayans will meet in November, being the first locals, in the Río de la Plata classic. Closing, they face Tité's squad, Brazil, as visitors.
