How do player valuations work?

Player valuations are estimates of a player's market worth, influenced by factors like age, skill, contract length, potential, and recent performance. These figures guide transfer negotiations but aren't fixed prices. The £240m figure for Liverpool's three targets is a combined valuation, suggesting the potential cost if all three transfers were to go through.
