Contract until: 2024 Summer

One of the most impressive attackers in LaLiga Santander last year, Sevilla's Lucas Ocampos stood out as the club's talismanic figure throughout their successful campaign. The Argentine, formerly of Marseille, ended the season as the highest scorer for Julen Lopetegui's men with 14 LaLiga goals and showed great versatility by playing all across the front line.

Despite scoring just one goal in Sevilla's UEFA Europa League campaign, Ocampos was an important player for them as he scored the only goal in the quarter-finals against Wolves. Overall, it was a memorable debut campaign for the 26-year-old, and he is set to play an important role for Lopetegui and co in the 2020/21 season.


#6 Ousmane Dembele | Barcelona | €56m

Ousmane Dembele's move to Barcelona remains one of the most disappointing high-profile transfers in the recent past. The Catalans purchased the Frenchman for a fee in excess of €100m following Neymar's world-record transfer to Paris Saint-Germain. However, due to recurring injury issues, Dembele has missed over 500 days of action amounting to 80 competitive games since his move from Borussia Dortmund.

Having racked up just 35 starts in three seasons at the club and a fading hope of carving out his legacy at the Nou Camp, time is certainly running out for the talented France international. With several clubs including Manchester United linked with a move for Dembele, it remains to be seen whether he has a future at Barcelona.


#5 Bernardo Silva | Manchester City | €80m

Contract until: 2025 Summer

One among a host of game-changers available at Pep Guardiola's disposal, Bernardo Silva comes in as the fifth-highest valued right winger in Europe. Although he isn't an out-and-out right-sided forward, the Portuguese has played a majority of his career in this position, which is why he is classified as one. Bernardo was simply magical in the 2018/19 campaign and helped Manchester City win the Premier League despite star man Kevin De Bruyne's prolonged absence.

The Portuguese, however, did not have as much of a telling impact in the 2019/20 campaign due to the return and form of De Bruyne, the emergence of Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez's sublime goal/assist return, and others. Nonetheless, the reported Barcelona target remains one of the most important players for Guardiola's Cityzens.


#4 Serge Gnabry | Bayern Munich | €90m

Contract until: 2023 Summer

One of the most exciting wide forwards in the sport at the moment, Serge Gnabry is a man who is in absolutely breathtaking form. The German, who finished as the third-highest scorer in the recently concluded UCL campaign, is undoubtedly one of the most devastating players in the Bundesliga and in Europe. Fresh off his treble heroics with the Bavarians, Gnabry has announced and established himself at the highest level of the game.

Bayern Munich's new number seven had an outstanding 2019/20 campaign across all fronts, which saw him register 21 goals and 12 assists in the league and UCL. At just 25 years of age, he could potentially find a few more gears before hitting his prime and lead Bayern and Die Mannschaft to further glory.
