Age should not be a criterion to determine the value or price of a player, but it does play an important role, as age can measure the time the player has left to remain an active footballer, for example: A club will not pay an exaggerated amount of money for a 37 year old player who will possibly only play one season, it would be a bad investment, as it can invest in a younger player who could play many seasons and serve for a long term project.

At the beginning I said that it should not be a criterion, as there are players who skip this rule, this is due to the performance they show despite their age, such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo or Buffon, the latter are examples to follow, but in the end if they end up being reflected in the price, as the clubs work as a company that evaluates how much a player can get to perform or the benefits that a player can leave them over time, let's say that time is money and this is a factor that everyone takes into account.

To conclude he clarifies that it should not be a factor to measure the value, but in the end a player is treated as an investment that has an expiry date, it is painful to say and it sounds cruel, but that's how the world works in different areas.
