Luis Javier Suárez is the most valuable player in Colombia's current national team squad, with a market valuation of 30 million euros. The Sporting CP forward leads a star-studded lineup that marks the beginning of a renewal process under manager Néstor Lorenzo, who has called up several new faces for the tour of the United States.
The Argentine coach has said that, while he remains in charge, there are new additions to the list. This generational shift comes after the international retirements of stars like James Rodríguez and Juan Fernando Quintero, and without the presence of Luis Díaz for this window.
The most valuable lineup
The most expensive team, assembled during the camp in Delaware, lines up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. In goal is Kevin Mier. The back four consists of Daniel Muñoz, Davinson Sánchez, Jhon Lucumí (valued at 22 million) and Álvaro Angulo. In midfield, Richard Ríos (25 million) and Gustavo Puerta provide balance, while the attacking trio is completed by Jhon Arias, Carlos Andrés Gómez and Yaser Asprilla. Luis Suárez leads the line.
The lowest-valued player in the squad is full-back Samuel Velásquez of Atlético Nacional, priced at 650,000 euros. This window of friendly matches will allow Lorenzo to evaluate options for the future, with an eye on continuing the team's positive competitive form.
Colombia enters these matches leading their World Cup qualifying group with seven points from three games. The national team is on a five-match unbeaten run, with three wins and two draws, and their next official fixture is against Mexico on September 26.
