Piccinini, Angori and Canestrelli. The value of the card has tripled

Precious jewels and decidedly few bargain-priced opportunities: the showcase set up by Pisa Sporting Club in the current season does not know the word "discounts". Indeed, the team's performance from August to today has dragged up the prices of all its prized pieces, also increasing the valuations of all the other elements that make up the team led by Pippo Inzaghi. Taking the results of the valuations expressed by the algorithm of the specialized portal Transfermarkt as a guide, we discover that the most valuable element of the Nerazzurri dressing room is Simone Canestrelli.

The 2000-born central defender is worth 6 million euros: a "monster" price tag especially when compared to the one estimated just five months ago, when the same portal credited him with a price tag of 3,5 million. The increase of almost 100% compared to that estimate is the result of the excellent performances provided on the pitch, which also bring with them a reflection: if in January the club from via Battisti sent back to the sender an offer of almost 4 million euros from the French team Lens for the 19-year-old Francesco Coppola (on loan to Vis Pesaro in C), how much could a sale of Canestrelli be worth? This is fantasy football at its best, because the number 5 is one of the pillars of the future project of the Sporting Club. But if we were to try our hand at this fantasy game, in the presence of a 24-year-old Italian footballer, owner of one of the two teams that are "killing" the cadet championship and already with 186 appearances among the professionals, we would go for a valuation double compared to the figure rejected for Coppola. The central defender is also placed in the top ten of the cadet drawn up by the specialized portal: needless to say, the player with the highest value of the card is Francesco Pio Esposito. The Spezia centre forward is credited with a value of around 17 million euros. Behind Canestrelli we find the diamond of the team, that Matteo Tramoni who also ended up in the notebooks of the collaborators of the coach Spalletti: the Italo Corsican is credited with a value of 5 million euros. Right behind are Alexander Lind (4,5 million) and Samuele Angori (4 million): the left back on Christmas Eve was credited with a value of approximately 1,6 million euros. His was an increase of 250%, but there is another player in the Pisa squad who has undergone an even bigger increase. It is Gabriele Piccinini, in all respects one of the best insertion midfielders in the entire championship with his 4 goals and 5 assists recorded. The number 36 at the start of the championship had an estimated price of 1 million euros: by mid-March his valuation is around 3 million euros. An increase of 300% that says a lot about the improvements achieved on the pitch by the Emilian midfielder, one of the most unexpected but absolute protagonists of the Nerazzurri ride.
