Achraf Hakimi is one of the best young goalscoring full-backs in the game at the moment.

After a successful loan stint at Borussia Dortmund, Hakimi's parent club Real Madrid sold the Moroccan international to Inter Milan last season. Hakimi impressed in his new surroundings, scoring an impressive seven goals and racking up ten assists to help Inter win their first Scudetto in more than a decade.

However, when PSG came calling with an offer of €60 million for the 22-year-old's services, Inter Milan let Hakimi go after just one season at the club. Interestingly, Inter had bought the Morrocan for €54 million last summer.


#5 Ruben Dias (Manchester City) - €68 million

Ruben Dias was one of the signings of the season last summer. After arriving at Manchester City, Dias took to the English top flight like a fish to water.

Impressing with his ball-playing prowess and defensive attributes, Dias played a key role as City won their third Premier League title in four years and also made their maiden Champions League final.

Thanks to his brilliant exploits, the 24-year-old former Benfica centre-back won the Premier League Player of the Season award.

Dias endured a forgettable campaign at Euro 2020, though, as holders Portugal crashed out in the Round of 16 after conceding seven goals in four games. However, he is expected to continue from where he left off last season when City commence their Premier League title defence.


#4 Victor Osimhen (Napoli) - €70 million

After a breakout season with Lille, Victor Osimhen arrived at Napoli last summer on a club-record €70 million transfer and enjoyed a decent debut Serie A season.

Though his league goal tally dropped by three goals in his new surroundings, the 23-year-old centre-forward became one of the youngest players in Europe's top-five leagues to score ten league goals in consecutive campaigns.

Despite being the subject of transfer interest from a plethora of clubs around the continent, Osimhen is expected to stay put in southern Italy and help Napoli qualify for the Champions League next season.
