Hirving Lozano lived a 2022 full of ups and downs. The Napoli player fought throughout the calendar year with Matteo Politano for a place in the starting line-up and he failed to shine with the Mexican national team in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

According to the Transfermarkt website, the Pachuca youth product lost 30% of its valuation across the 12 months. At the beginning of the year, Chucky was valued at $40 million, 12 more than he is currently ($28m) according to the site.

Despite Lozano’s fall in the finance stakes, Chucky is still the second highest-valued Mexican player according to the portal. Only Edson Álvarez is above him, at 25 years old, the Ajax man sits at $35 million.
