The Shakhtar player was 4th in the list of the most expensive U-23 forwards outside of Europe

Specialists of the International Center for Sports Studies (CIES) compiled their list of the ten most expensive center forwards in modern football who are under the age of 23 and do not play in Europe.

The estimated value of the players was calculated by CIES on the basis of its own methodology, and it differs from the one set for the players by the well-known portal Transfermarkt.

On the fourth line of the rating was the 20-year-old Venezuelan center forward of Shakhtar, Kevin Kelsey, who currently has a lease agreement with the MLS club “Cincinnati”, and the latter have an option to buy out the player’s contract, the term of which is calculated until the end of November and, according to unofficial according to data, is 5 million dollars.

It is interesting that Kelsey is completely satisfied with Cincinnati, but they are not yet ready to buy out his contract from Shakhtar, as they consider the agreed amount too high.

But CIES, on the contrary, gives the estimated value of Kelsa many times higher than the one that Shakhtar specified when renting. It is about 11.1 million euros.

Only the 21-year-old Brazilian Marcos Leonardo from Al Hilal (27.6 million euros), his 18-year-old compatriot Kaua Elias from Fluminense (15.4 million euros) and the 22-year-old Uruguayan Thiago ranked higher than Kelsa. Borbas from RB Bragantino (13.9 million euros).

Note that Kelsa’s contract is currently valued at only 2.5 million euros on Transfermarkt.

Kelsey became a highly liquid asset for Shakhtar in MLS. What awaits him next?
