Caracas, Valencia and Barquisimeto will be the three cities that will host the historic Venezuela 2024 Pre-Olympic tournament. These three cities will witness some of the most exciting talents in the growing South American football, as the participating countries have taken it upon themselves to call up some of the most relevant emerging stars of the moment.

Therefore, to understand the quality and value of the footballers who will make the trip to Venezuela to fight for places in the football discipline of the Paris 2024 Olympics, we have compiled, using TransferMarkt data, the footballers with highest market value of the tournament.

Endrick is the most valuable footballer of the 2024 Pre-Olympic

To no one’s surprise, the leading role on the list is mostly Argentine and Brazilian.

These two nations, famous for training young talent who then make the leap to the major European leagues, have in their squads the 20 most valuable footballers of the entire tournament, since only the Chilean Damián Pizarro (€5.00 M) is close in market value to the rest of the pearls that dominate the ranking.

At the top appears the Palmeiras star and future Real Madrid player, Endrick, who dominates the ranking with his 45.00 million euros of assigned value. He is followed on paper by Danilo (€28.00 M), the star of Nottingham Forest, but he will miss the competition at the request of his club, so technically the second most valuable footballer in the Pre-Olympic is the Argentine world champion, Thiago Almada (€27.00 M).

Further down, in what would be third position, is Andrey Santos (€14.00 M) and he would be followed by Valentín Barco (€13.00 M) and Robert Renan (€9.00 M).
